As a Commercial Landscaper in Tucson, Arizona, working for Santa Rita Landscaping LLC,and, attending the Rainbird Academy, " Glue" is actually called " Solvent Weld", a chemical weld compound bonding the 2 pipes together, after primer.
where do I attach a pressure regulator-filter combo in this for a drip system? What should be height of the PVC pipe the valve is being attached? Thanks.
Attach the pressure regulator before the valve. That is, the water passes through the regulator, to the valve inlet, then out of the valve. This is shown in the booklet that comes with the valves. As for what height, it's 6 inches above the highest sprinkler head, as stated in the video. You might consider watching the video, it's educational.
Hi I have 2 zones in my backyard, the valves are located on each end of the house, how do I wire them from the timer controller inside the garage? do i run one set of wire to the first valve location and daisy chain to the 2nd valve across the yard?
Hi, thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can run a wire to the first zone then run the other wire for the second valve. Remember that the common wires can be attached together and run back into the timer and the "hot wire" for each zone has to run back individually back to the timer.
You can daisy chain as explained in the other comment, but you don't have to if that's not convenient. You can just run the ground and hot wires from the controller directly to each valve. It's just a ground wire, there nothing significant about tieing them together right at the valves as shown in the video.
That's over thinking it, overkill, over engineering counter productive, and failure prone anyway. By the time you finish that extra work I'll be on my third beer watching the game. The more connections you have in a system the more vulnerable you are to leaks, so use solid pipe as much as possible and minimize connections, and couplings use a rubber washer that will leak every single year, just like those stupid washer on the garden hose that i have to replace every year. highly annoying. Since PVC is so easy to work with, you can just cut the valve out with a vise style PVC cutter (5 seconds) and glue in new PVC stubs with a coupler. That's plenty easy enough to make coupler superfluous.

I’m confused all the solenoid wires are white and black 😂 so which one is the main white wire 😂
Excelente vídeo 👍🏼
How much do you charge fo the job you just did ?
Both wires on my dasasvr075 are stripped. There is no solid colored wire. This video could have been more informative
In my valve, both wires are black and white. How do I know which wite goes where?
the antiphon head is attached to PVC minimum length of PVC before Valve attached ? I guess I am asking minimum out of ground total sorry Im diying
For a timer, should the solenoid be set to off or manual??

how do you use this with the .700 Rain Bird poly tubing?
No isolation valve for the irrigation valves?
The valves used in the video have a built in Anti-siphon device. That's why it looks like a twin valve.

I would have put cut off valves and compression couplings on it so I can pull it out at any time.
Great ideas for a more advanced installation!

Uh... connecting to water source?
After the primer dries?@ 0:55+
