Certain types of irrigation setups will require some sort of electrical setup. For example, controllers and timers will need to connect to various parts of the system, ensuring communication and control. Solenoid valves, which control the flow of water to specific zones, need electrical wires to connect to the controller, allowing the system to open or close the valves as needed. Other systems, like weather sensors and pump controls will also need to be connected to power supplies and controllers to operate.

Direct burial sprinkler wire is specifically designed for underground installation in irrigation systems. It connects your sprinkler valves to the irrigation controller, ensuring efficient operation. The wire is protected by a durable thermoplastic sheath that seals out moisture and resists damage from underground elements, making it ideal for long-term reliability."
The most common gauges for direct burial irrigation wire are 16 and 18 gauge. The gauge you choose depends on the length of the wire run and the number of valves being controlled. Typically, 16-gauge wire is used for longer distances or systems with multiple valves to ensure adequate power transmission."
Direct burial sprinkler wire is designed for underground use and should remain buried to protect it from environmental factors like UV rays and physical damage. For above-ground installations, consider using wire rated for outdoor exposure or protect it with conduit."
To install direct burial irrigation wire, run the wire from the controller to the valves, ensuring it is buried at least 6 to 12 inches below the ground. The wire’s robust thermoplastic sheath protects it from moisture and soil corrosion, ensuring long-term performance. Always avoid sharp bends and ensure there’s no tension on the wire during installation."
Yes, direct burial sprinkler wire is encased in a thermoplastic sheath that provides protection against moisture and harsh underground conditions. This ensures that the wire operates reliably, even in wet soil or areas prone to flooding."
Sprinkler Wires do not carry voltage unless the water is running. They are low voltage wires, typically around 24 volts. Remember that sprinkler wires are normally run in pairs, the common wire which goes to each valve and the control wire which only goes to one valve. Except in the case of Decoder Controllers, these normally need to be run separately.
Yes. You can bury your wire shallow underground or alongside the pipe. There is no need for casing or conduit. Sprinkler wire is insulated against the elements and ground, so there should be no issues burying the wire. Sprinkler wire is durable and essential, but not invulnerable, so remember to dig carefully after installation.
Common sensors include rain sensors, soil moisture sensors, and flow sensors, all of which connect to the controller to provide real-time data. Wired sensors are more reliable but require installation of cables, while wireless sensors are easier to install but may have limited range or require batteries.
Yes, as long as you disconnect the power supply first, there won’t be much danger involved during the wire installation process. Since most systems are low voltage, they are generally safe to handle, but caution is always recommended.
Most sprinkler valves and controllers are compatible with 16- or 18-gauge wire, but make sure to run a few extra feet on both sides. 16 gauge wire generally gets more distance but isn't perfect for more short-distance applications. These wires are designed for outdoor use and can withstand exposure to moisture and soil conditions. Also important to remember is that solenoids and stations must be hard-wired, and cannot be added with simple programming.
