Greg, I love the cleanliness and precision of your work; been going through your videos preparing myself for a irrigation system replacement and I feel very empowered with some good habits to get me started. Thanks!

@rkalla What is the volume in GPM on each valve or zone? the reduced pressure Drip line will not be an issue unless you are using Micro sprays. I like the manifolds a lot. What size box? a 12" box is small for 3 valves. Getting to regulator is also an issue. Are you using a Seninger regulator? 3/4" valves are best kept down to 10 gpm. 15 gpm on 1" . inlet pressure should be limited to 80 psi. what is your inlet pressure? what kind of heads you using, how many heads

@ramonasplumber Picked up 2x Rain Bird CPF-075 - can I use the flow-control on the valve directly to do what the reducer is doing for me and just take it out of the equation or is that mis-using the valve?

[ramonasplumber]

@rkalla  I would do that, that is what the throttle is for. All you need do is put your emitters in and put a gauge at the end(s) and keep pressure below 19 psi. or what ever pressure you design in. as long as your volume does not exceed what you can get at that throttle position. Only issue is velocity, at any point. real high pressure throttled down creating 30ft. per sec. inside valve body is noisy and could wear out the diaphragm. Less than 80 psi inlet will be ok.

@rkalla I responded above, sorry wrong box....

@ramonasplumber Thanks man! I have 2 valves and a 8psi reducer for a drip sys on one of the valves; I want it *all* to fit in a box for easy access/maintenence later. I was thinking Rainbird 100-DV, 2-valve manifold with the reducer oriented as a 3rd valve all inside box (all 3/4) -- thoughts?

@rkalla Go for it ask sizing Q's too I am a Certified Landscape Irrigation Water Auditor.I have ways to save time and expense, ending up with better system!

you missed to glue the elbow on the right hand side as someone else noticed at about 5:22. one way of doing this without rushing is to dry run it and mark each transition with a straight line that would be matched after when applying the glue; anyway thank you for your time and all the effort making this video

@fasteNATION You must be a pro.
