How do you release the valve on a one outlet Orbit digital watering timer when it is stuck closed?

There are 2 valves, one is Manual second is Digital, the Digital Can be controlled by the time of watering or start time of watering.

Has not happened to me but I suggest you try to disconnect from the water supply, remove the battery and wait for a minute before putting it back.

I have 3 and 2 outlet timers, not a single outlet but I presume the programming is almost identical so the answer would be , no. It can certainly water for the duration of one minute but I think 6 hrly intervals is the shortest. Not sure what you intend watering but can only suggest you water at a very low flow rate to be equivalent to the amount of water you expected to use under your scenario. This may not be suitable but the simplicity and ease of use of these timers means intricate watering patterns cannot be addressed.

If you want to shut off recommend just buying a simple water timer you can get a any home improvement store. You can have it run for hours and it shuts off automatically. Works like a charm for me.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water -Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.

I had the same question and no, I have not found a way to dispense when the unit is not powered up, which is too bad. However, it is possible to open the top and reach in with a dipper to get water when the power is off.

We built a 4 outlet manifold for ours, each has a ball valve so we can shut lines off or even lower the flow if need be. I'm not sure how your drip system is set up or the size, but either way you should have a valve in place to shut the water off. There is a prime plug that you could attach a pipe and valve to that you could use as a pressure relief. We have those on our larger plant and recycle pumps.

Make sure the manual valve is in the off position (up) . Then turn a quarter turn clockwise . It should lift right off . Sometimes you have to push down as you turn . Good luck.

According to the manual there is an optional part (part No 57098) that ca be purchased. The rain shut off switch can be easily connected to the timer to prevent over-watering during rainy periods.

No, you can just turn on the timer and water will flow. The problem is that the timer significantly restricts the volume of water to your hose. I bought a Gilmore timer the other day and its much better, but even it restricts the flow. When I have a lot of water to use, I take the timer off.

By the photo Amazon included in communication to us, you are looking at Orbit's two valve timer. Our review is based on their 3 valve timer, which is barely any more $ and is what will definitely do what you need it to to. You see, with both models the left most outlet is controlled ONLY by the manual handle you see on the left most side of the product! With TWO timer-controlled outlets your scenario is accomplished and even have a manual outlet if needs be! Bill & Gala

I have the same timer in my greenhouse to run misters. I have the orbit valve (Orbit 57100 3/4-Inch Female Pipe Threaded Auto Inline Sprinkler Valve) connected to it. The timer itself comes with an AC adapter. It has worked perfectly. I believe I did purchase an adapter since I have the orbit valve connected to my outdoor hose faucet and then another on the other side for the hose that runs to the misters. Of course it's meant to be plumbed with pvc and the 3/4" fittings, but the valve is versatile, just need imagination.

If water is not currently running, you can flip open the cover, press the Manual button, then press the + key until the display shows the number of minutes you want to run water (from 1 to 360 minutes), and finally press Enter. Once the manual override period ends, the unit reverts to watering as usual in Automatic mode. (You can also cancel out of Manual mode by pressing the Auto Run key.) I use the Manual (override) mode every day without removing the unit.
