57280 In-Line Sprinkler Control Valve, 3/4 In. NPT, 120 PSI

The Orbit 57280 is an in-line automatic control valve designed for 24 Vac underground sprinkler irrigation systems. This valve serves as a reliable replacement for automatic valves from most major brands, offering straightforward universal compatibility with 3/4 inch NPT female threaded connections. It is constructed from durable, injection-molded plastic and handles system pressures up to 120 PSI.

This valve solves common irrigation problems by preventing water waste and system damage. The reverse-flow design mitigates potential damage or waste from free-flowing water if a diaphragm ruptures. A manual on/off bypass lever allows you to test and flush sprinkler lines. The soft-close design reduces water hammer and wear on pipes and fittings, extending the life of your irrigation network.

Features and Benefits

• Manual Bypass Lever: Test and flush sprinkler lines for maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Reverse-Flow Design: Protects against damage and water waste if the diaphragm ruptures, keeping your system running reliably.
• Soft-Close Technology: Reduces water hammer and system wear, protecting components and extending valve life.
• Easy Maintenance: Captured lid screws, solenoid plunger, and attached diaphragm spring simplify repairs and cleaning.
• Glue-Less Assembly: Female threaded connection points enable fast, secure assembly without adhesives or additional fittings.
• Low-Profile Design: Slim construction fits in tight spaces and standard valve boxes for flexible installation.
• Brand Compatible: Replaces automatic valves from most major manufacturers, eliminating the need for multiple part numbers.
