Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 8 -Port NPT Adjustable Flow Control Irrigation Manifold with Filter
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the manifold for straightforward installation, flexible port design, and precise individual flow controls that prevent overwatering across multiple zones. Most highlight how swiveling ports and threaded caps adapt easily to irregular layouts, with many noting consistent water pressure and reliable performance. Several appreciate the ability to use fewer ports while leaving room for expansion. However, some report that plastic components—particularly adjustment screws and port fittings—become brittle over time with sun exposure, occasionally causing broken ports or leaking connections. A few encountered defective units or difficulty maintaining adjustments long-term. Despite these durability concerns, most customers consider it a dependable, high-value solution for drip irrigation.

Get the 8-port manifold as this one does not work
Would Not Recommendnot adjustable as described, Orbit's website states ADJUSTABLE FLOW: Individually control the water flow to each port for precise output. they are NOT individually adjustable, and when you increase the water flow, it leaks.

Does the job, with a little work & finagling
Would Not RecommendOverall good performance, but I had to buy this one because the one I bought a couple of months back started leaking. Not the easiest task, getting the 1/4" drip line hooked up, and the little screws to turn the individual outlets off & on are clumsy without a really wide (but not too thick!) screwdriver.

Need to check them at times.
Would RecommendThese work ok but you need to periodically check them as they tend to close up after a while. Not completely close but close to it if you don't check. Orbit need to address this issue and install something on the manifold that makes your setting more permanent. After I set the flow knob I put a drop of clear nail polish between the flow knob and the manifold housing. Seems to work.

Might as well flush your money down the toilet
Would Not RecommendI've bought eight of these over the past year. They ALL fail, many of them right out the gate. The end caps fit poorly and they not only drip, they stream water. If that doesn't fail, then they leak elsewhere. Complete garbage!
Quick fix
Would RecommendIt was a direct replacement fr the old one. No modifications to my drip watering system.

Difficult to use
Very very difficult to attach tubing to the ports, due to their swivel function. Had to hold them from swivel movement with needle nose pliers almost to the point of breaking them. I bought some Rainbird 6 port to replace these and had no problem with them.
