What Customers Are Saying
The pre-assembled sprinkler manifold offers a convenient and cost-effective solution, but some customers reported issues with the quality and durability of the valves, which often started leaking within the first year of use. While the manifold itself was generally seen as a good idea, the poor reliability of the valves appears to be the main drawback based on the reviews. Customers recommend carefully inspecting the manifold for defects and considering alternative valve options if purchasing this product.

Would RecommendI was so relived to get my hands on this valve set up. After splicing fittings together and several controllers in line this eliminates the possibility of leaks. It fits in easy and it is easy to remove, no binding the pipe and wedging it. The valves are cheaper than I would like but I can always pop it out and replace it. hopefully not often.

terrible experience
Would Not RecommendShould have stuck with Rain bird. All valves leak after 1 year of use. This is a great design with poor valves.
Fast setup for a temporary irrigation system
Would RecommendThis is a great product for setting up temporary irrigation such as for germinating turf seed. It's a fast easy setup. The only reason I can't rate this excellent is that the electrical connections are difficult to use and for me at least have proved unreliable. In every installation I've ended up tossing the electrical junction box and using grease fittings or twist caps with silicon.
DIY instead
Would Not RecommendThis manifold was easy to install but the valves drip-drip-drip after the first season. First one, then two failed. I don't know if it's the manifold or the valves themselves that are the problem but I blame the overall design of the valves.
Such a disappointment
Would Not RecommendHaving three valves in one manifold, how could I go wrong! The features are good and the design is good, how could I go wrong! I have never had problems with Orbit's equipment before, how could I go wrong! That is what I thought until I got it installed and operational. The valves function as they should, turning on and off to operate simple pop-up sprinkler circuits. However, the valves have been leaking water profusely since I turned water on to the system last year, the valves leak even when ...
Waste of time
Would Not RecommendThe manifolds leak after about a year with hard water. Should of know this product was junk when i read that you only hand tighten the fittings. What a waste of time.
