Leaking Valve
This is probably a stupid question, but how do I take apart a 1" sprinkler valve to get inside and figure out why it is leaking?
I noticed a leak in a sprinkler head and have determined that the 1" Irritol valve in my control box for that zone is letting water seep through. From reading other posts on this site, I understand that I should take the valve apart and look for debris or replace the parts inside, but I'm stumped on how to take the valve apart. The two bottom parts of the valve are connected to pipe, so I can't unscrew the whole valve at one time. Is there a way to take the top off of the valve? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks very much for any help!
