From the Manufacturer
Toro Anti-Siphon Valves provide the features and benefits of our popular jar top valves and aspheric backflow preventer in one easy to install device. The threaded bonnet jar top system enables fast and easy servicing. The Toro Anti-siphon Valve features manual flow control and external bleed. Flow control makes it possible to fine-tune the amount of water pressure going to each individual zone, reducing misting and fogging at the sprinkler and saving water. External bleed is the best mechanism to flush out dirt from the supply and lateral lines during new installations or repairs. Any debris passes through the valve rather than becoming stuck in the valve. The valve includes a high quality 24-volt AC solenoid, with 18-inch lead wires, for automatic operation and easy installation. (3/4-inch female thread connection) Note: Check with city or local code compliance office to determine whether or not there are restrictions on the types of valves that can be used in your area.

Customer Reviews

Good design but needs more durable rubber washer in the check valve
Pros
1. Excellent design feature - has a built-in union that allows the valve to split in the middle. The valve can then be easily removed from the pipes for servicing. Each half simply spins off the corresponding inlet or outlet pipe.
2. The solenoids that operate the valve have proven durable.

Cons
1. Unfortunately, the rubber washer that is part of the check valve in the backflow preventer has not proven durable on half of the Toro valves that I'm using. The rubber washer ends up cracking/splitting and then allows significant water to flow past the check valve when the unit is operating. This results in water flooding the area around the valve instead of going to the sprinklers. The rubber washer looks like a common size but when I get what looks like an identical washer at a local plumbing shop and install it (very easy to do, by the way), the leak still occurs. I haven't called Toro for the exact replacement part which I'm sure they have.
