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!
What kind of valve.....model? inline or antisiphon?
Thanks

Oops--guess that would be useful! It's a 3/4" automatic anti-siphon. The model # is DAS-075.
Thanks!
where at the valve is it leaking? The threads or the valve itsself. If it is the valve itself describe where?
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!
Thanks
