Is this a gear driven valve (as opposed to a solenoid)? I have a very low pressure system and want a water timer that has a larger opening.

It uses a mechanical rotating ball valve that is driven by an electric motor.

You need to get either the Grohe 19411000 Eurosmart Cosmo Pressure Balance Valve T or Grohe 19 312 000 Arden Pressure Balance Valve to work wit this one...I would recommend the latter one (19 312 000) since it is a better build than the 19411000.

I just had to replace the solenoid, not the valve. The solenoid just unscrews. Make sure to replace the wires like they were connected.

No. It is only a simple check valve for a water hose type system. If you want to reduce the water pressure, then you would need to insert a restrictive rubber washer or else get a pressure regulator.

The installation guide that came with the timer says this. "SST Timers allow master valve or pump start relay to operate whenever a valve is operating (pumps are used in some places to draw water from a well or other source.) If you are activating a pump from the Timer you must also install a Pump Control Relay." The guide then says, "Make sure that the total draw of the Master Valve or Pump Start Relay plus the draw of the valve does not exceed 0.650 Amps at 24 VAC, 60 Hz. This Timer does not provide the main power for a pump." I'm just quoting the guide. I have no experience of this sort myself. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I just saw this today. I bought a single valve recess "box" from Home Depot for about 20 dollars. My plumber substituted the Keeney for the single valve, which I just gave him. It looks great. We're still drywalling, but I've operated the keeney a couple of times, it's just a mechanical timer. I don't trust that i'll remember to turn off the other kind. I hope this helps.

Not sure but assume it would as it does not need water pressure to operate, I would think that a lower pressure would allow the solenoid to work more easily. Mine is installed at 45 deg and I cannot see that having it in the horizontal position would make any difference and should work ok.

There is no separate "water shut off valve" included as part of this set; you could buy what's referred to as a "gate valve" separately, if you wished. Or you can just turn it off using the dial on the gardena timer these attachments go with. (turn it to zero)

This solenoid is designed to fit all Irritrol and Richdel valves - it is not 3/4". Do you know the make and model of the valve that you will be putting it on? Perhaps we can help find the proper one for you - we van be reached Monday - Friday 8am till 5pm MDT 208-336-3747

Other thing is that the solenoid must be completly tight to be used with the computer. You only turn this maybe 180deg maxs to manually open the valve. If you turn more water start leaking. This is normal.

Yes it does, that is the what the 2.5 gpm rating is specifying (as not to exceed 2.5gpm). The button is not intended for regulation, it is intended for shutting "off" the flow (less a trickle, for indicating that the water valve itself is still on) for ease of use by those with disabilities. That is why we by them for our facility, high use, durable, and inexpensive to replace. (Facility Director)

Yes it is. The manual and electric pump valves are interchangeable :D I have both the manual and electric and use these for both.

I'm using one on my water tank but it does have a 1/4 hp pump on it. Works good. If you are just thinking about a water flow on this time I don't think it will work. I'm sure you have to have some pressure to move the timer.

Hi MeganWhile the valve is connected put the timer in the "manual" position to water for a few minutes the "clear" it. That will normally switch the valve gate. If that doesn't work call orbit customer service/tech support 800.488.6156. They are very helpful!

Yes, the one I received is a variable valve, so you could use it for flow control.

its an hr valve, see here, http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=39403 and here, http://www.halkeyroberts.com/products/inflation/boat-valves/690-nsbvg-boat-valve.aspx, they're slick in how they work just don't loose the adapter, cause then you're probably screwed.

It is a schrader valve. I ordered it thinking that it was a presta but had to return it! Disappointing.
