OMG!!!! I am going to do my sprinkler manifold system exactly like this that you designed!!!! WOW!!!! That is super clean and straight forward and simple to operate! Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your knowledge! I have quite a few questions but I’ll come back later to ask! 🙏🏻♥️👍🏻🙏🏻♥️👍🏻🙏🏻♥️👍🏻
I don't care what anybody says this is truly bad ass hats off to you I'm in the process of installing a manifold and was going to go with a plastic housing till I saw this truly what a true professional would build I'm glad I watched your vid it totally changed my mind thanks so much for taking the time to film such a video BAD ASS VID I don't give a ____
Very cool project. Looks awesome. So much nicer than the cheap plastic ones that always fall apart or get cracked when the lawn service runs it over with their equipment. Looking forward to making one like yours with a hose bib, etc. Thanks for putting that together.
Awesome. I am about to do the same project. To start with I will have an 8 zone system. But I am leaving room for futire additions. I think I could end up with 12 zones and if I ever decide to do a garden or landscape flowers...even more.
O My GOD I have been looking at the wood that wore away and all the dirt that caved in around the outside tap that is about a foot and a half down. I have never understood how to make a cement box surrounding it... seeing this I have the clues, the technology, the desire. building two boxes with no bottoms, clamp, spike it in pour the two bags of concrete cover with plastic and walk away till spring hahaha hahahaha a hem and Thank YOU. I think I even have two wine crates in different sizes but not by that much. I need to see the fix once I see it I can do this I'm pretty stoked to try this tomorrow...
Hi Nate. Thank you for watching the video. I have used these Orbit brand valves and irrigation systems for about 20 years and I have no complaints at all. These are well worth the money and are not very expensive at all. To be honest, I have never tried any other brand, because I haven't had a reason to. I have built several homes and use Orbit for all irrigation. No issues. I hope that this information helps you with your project👍
Damn nice work man! This is a million times better than anything you can find at Home Depot. I’ve never even thought of doing anything like this but you made it seem totally doable. What kind of concrete did you use? Anyone think it would be a bad idea to pour a concrete base the size of the box first then put a concrete box on top just like he did his?
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I used Sakrete brand concrete mix. Putting a concrete base should be fine...I would maybe make sure to put weep holes in the base so that if water gets into the box, it has a place to leach out so you don't short out the valve electrical. I hope that this information helps👍
That is a great question! The orientation of the filter should not matter at all...as long as you have access to be able to open it up and clean out the filters. Water is forced through these filters prior to going through the sprinklers. Because of this force, it does not matter whether the filter is right side up or upside down, water will flow through it and catch microscopic debris prior to entering any sprinkler system. I hope that this information helps you out 👍.
Hi. Thank you for watching. We ended up putting a metal lid on the top. I custom built it with a hinge system so I could open it and keep it in an open position. I didn’t bother showing that portion because most people don’t have welders. You could make something similar to a deck (much smaller scale) and just set it on top of the concrete box. That would allow you to safely walk on it and also easy to remove for access to the valves. I hope that this information helps 👍

Have you had any trouble with the orbit valves breaking/leaking? I wanting to purchase one of these, but wanted to know the quality of it. Thank you!

WOW Now that is an upgrade. I wish I had that kind of skill. Great video. 67 Woman in Texas.
Looks great, only comment would be to place that drain valve below the valve cluster so the water will drain completely out.
@@jsmanson100 Good point! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment…always appreciated 👍
I'd put just one filter before your valve manifold. It would protect the valves and save you money on extra filters.
This was an excellent video, gave me good ideas. Thanks.
Looks amazing! Hopefully when you go to service the unit you will never find the valves buried in dirt.
Do those filters need to be installed any certain orientation? Upright or upsidedown as you have them?
That is a great question! The orientation of the filter should not matter at all...as long as you have access to be able to open it up and clean out the filters.

Great idea. Thanks for the video!!
I’m going to do something similar soon.
Brilliant!
solid!
Lindo, pero mucho trabajo!
Gracias. Fue mucho trabajo pero valió la pena 👍
What about the lid? A girl wants to know😂
