SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Hi there, i was wondering if you guys can answer a few questions i have.

Just recently i decided to replace all my Valves from Orbit to Irritrol 2400T. I was just wondering if those BUILT Orbit Manifolds that Home Depot sell are any good? I currently have galvanized pipe (fittings) that make up my manifold and all 5 valves are in one JUMBO valve box. I was hoping to re-fabricate this manifold to accomidate (Sp) less valves per valve box and at the same time use a good quality Valve and Manifold Parts. Does it really make a difference if i buy a pre made one or make my own out of lets say 40 SCH PVC or metal fittings? What do you guys think on this matter?

Any other brands out there that i might consider, maybe buy them locally in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Thanks again..
