Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 8 -Port NPT Adjustable Flow Control Irrigation Manifold with Filter

Best der is!!!

These 8 branch "Octopuses" as I refer to them are the best I've found. The connections are less likely to break off if tangled in an ankle because the connections swivel. With my hot air gun I heat the end of the hose for 20 seconds, and it slides right on, and cools to hang on tight.

Great drip irrigation for DIY user

Excellent drip irrigation manifold system for garden bed

Excellent irrigation manifold

Easy to use DIY irrigation manifold for garden drip irrigation

Nice for irrigating flower beds.

Of the 10 that I bought, 2 leak but not enough that I am going to change then out yet. Nice that you can control the flow from the manifold and shut the flow off. Makes for easier adjusting the drip and spray nozzles coming off of it. To get the 1/4" tube on the tips I needed to warm the tube with a torch.

It is easy to replace a sprinkler head with this.

It is difficult to install tubing on the outlets, since these rotate so freely. The drip adjustments might also not work very uniformly or maybe some of the drip emitters do not function equally, even if rated the same.

Manifold

Awesome manifold to water tour plants. It has alot of ports and you can shut off ones that you dont want to use.

Easy to install

A great way to change a sprinkler into a drip system

Easy to use

Worked fine to add multiple drip lines to flower bed.

Get the 8-port manifold as this one does not work

not 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

Overall 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.

These 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.

don’t waste your mo

Installed system as instructed Turned on water to a trickle and blew all the hoses off Have tried tinkering with it but still doesn’t work Spent a lot of money trying to have a better system but i end up back with a water hose

Perfect flow

Works great to get the right volume and flow in your garden

Might as well flush your money down the toilet

I'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!
