Valve drip

Hi,

I recently installed a Rain Bird automatic sprinkler valve. It started leaking about a month after we installed it, but it's just a slow drip from the valve itself--none of the sprinklers are seeping at all.

Any ideas about how we can fix it? The Rain Bird customer service people were no help at all.

Thanks!

Oops--guess that would be useful! It's a 3/4" automatic anti-siphon. The model # is DAS-075.
Thanks!

Thanks

It looks like it's leaking from the cap, cover & piston assembly. I know that's kind of a broad description, but I can't tell exactly what part it's coming from.

take the valve apart, and look around for any cracks or holes. It might just need tightening!
