From the Manufacturer
Built to take the pressure, the Toro 1 inch In-Line Jar-Top Valve operates in the widest flow and pressure ranges from 0.25 to 30 GPM (gallons per minute) and 10 to 150 PSI (pounds per square inch). The popular threaded bonnet "jar top" system makes servicing fast and easy. The Toro 1-inch In-Line Jar-Top Valve includes an external bleed. 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. (1-inch female thread inlet and outlet) 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. In-line valves may or may not require a separate anti-siphon/backflow prevention device.

Customer Reviews

Great valve for the price
We shopped the industrial catalogs for similar vavles. All were priced way too high for our little irrigation system. These valves are quiet and seal well. Do not leave them outside in the winter. Even with all the vents and drains open they retain a small bit of water in the solenoid. It freezes and ruins the solenoid. We have built a manifold using 6 valves. We lift the whole assembly off the house and bring it inside in the winter.

Used the solenoid
I used the solenoid from this unit to replace a solenoid on a similar Toro valve (which didn't seem to last 3 years). An Orbit universal solenoid I bought from Lowe's didn't work (it fit but didn't work right). With Amazon Prime and free shipping, this made it the cheapest solution to get a working replacement solenoid.
