I wonder how old those adapters are. I don't remember seeing those solenoids with the top nut, as opposed to a plastic keeper piece.
Thanks. I only used the Superior/Champion combination one time, more than 20 years ago, for a client that wanted all brass and copper for the exposed plumbing. Turns out the 800 adapters had O-ring issues with the flow control shafts. Might have been damage from freezing water that didn't exit that area of the valves during winterizing.I wonder how old those adapters are.

I'd venture to say the solenoids posts with the top nut have been around 15 years give or take on the Superior brand valves.
The valves adapters they sell at the Home Depot which look identical but have the Orbit name on them still use the plastic keeper.
So do the Rainbird ones that look identical. I'm not even sure if they still make the Rainbird ones.
The Champion brand valve adapters sill have the plastic as well I believe.
