I assumed you already had the 3/4-inch Hardie valves ("small Hardie valves") ~ the larger sizes were never price-competitive.
Skip the slip valves for now. Threaded valves will allow you to undo a mistake. PVC unions might help you fit the manifolds in. On the outlet side, you may have more digging to do.
By the way, your first choice (Toro Ez-Flo) is basically the same thing as the Irritrol jar-top. Same manufacturer. Same repair parts.

The nice folks that run this site also sell the Irritrol 205

Ok Ok, yes I have one in my cart already.
Ebay is just so easy because of PayPal, but I see that the seller didn't yet accept my lowball offer, so best price is still here.
I just hope I can get those cruddy screws out one last time. It's deep in the corner, a tiny screwdriver has to blindly be jammed in tight, then a wrench used to painstakingly turn each screw. A Sawzall is a grave temptation on that valve.
Thanks Again!
