Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A Rain Bird wall manifold is a pre-assembled distribution system with multiple irrigation valves that is mounted on a wall. The valves are already equipped with additional components, allowing you to integrate them directly into your irrigation system. You mount the wall manifold and then connect your irrigation pipes to it. This streamlines installation and saves time.
Rain Bird wall manifolds come in various versions: 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way manifolds. Depending on the size of your garden and the number of irrigation zones, you can choose the appropriate manifold system. The manifolds are compatible with various piping systems and are available in the Expert quality level, offering high reliability.
Installing a Rain Bird wall manifold is straightforward. Secure the pre-assembled manifold to a sturdy wall near your water source. Connect the constant pressure line to the inlet of the manifold. Then, connect your irrigation zones to the valves of the manifold. Since the valves are already equipped with the necessary components, you can begin installation immediately. Check all connections for leaks before putting the system into operation. No Teflon tape is needed on fittings with end O-rings.
No, the Rain Bird wall manifold is designed for wall mounting and is not suitable for underground installation. Wall mounting facilitates access to the valves and maintenance of the distribution system. Because the valves are installed above ground, they remain dry and clean, which extends their lifespan. For underground installations, the use of valve boxes is recommended.
Pre-assembled valve manifolds like the Rain Bird wall manifold save time and reduce potential errors. All parts are professionally assembled, including large O-rings for optimal sealing. You don't need to assemble individual components or attach fittings. This simplifies installation and increases the system's reliability. Additionally, the products are designed for an operating pressure of up to 10 bar.
The Rain Bird wall manifold is versatile and fits most irrigation systems. Thanks to the pre-assembled components, you can connect your irrigation pipes directly. The manifold can withstand a pressure of up to 10 bar. The valves have male threads (external threads), and the PVC fittings have female threads (internal threads). The manifold can be expanded at any time using a T-piece (valve connector with female thread).

Planning and Product Selection for Your Rain Bird Wall Manifold
Careful planning of your garden irrigation is crucial for optimal results. With the DVS Irrigation Planner, you can plan your irrigation yourself and select the appropriate products. The Rain Bird wall manifold is available in different versions: 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way manifolds (number of outlets). The number of valves depends on the irrigation zones you need in your garden.
When selecting products, ensure compatibility with your piping system. You can use adapters and fittings to connect the valves to your irrigation pipes. Large O-rings provide a secure seal between components. The products are available in the Expert quality level and are designed for an operating pressure of up to 10 bar.
Installation and Operation of the Rain Bird Wall Manifold
Thanks to the pre-assembled parts, installing the Rain Bird wall manifold is easy and quick. Secure the manifold to a sturdy wall near your water source. Connect the constant pressure line to the inlet of the manifold. The valves are already equipped with the necessary components, allowing you to connect your irrigation pipes directly. If necessary, you can use adapters or valve connectors to make the connection.
During operation, an irrigation controller operates the valves, which run on 24 V AC. Wall mounting facilitates access to the valves and allows for easy replacement of parts if needed. Since the manifold system is installed above ground, it remains dry and clean, which extends the lifespan of the components. Ensure that the operating pressure stays within the recommended values to guarantee optimal functionality.
Essential Components and Accessories for Your Rain Bird Wall Manifold
For a successful installation of your Rain Bird wall manifold, you may need additional accessories. Fittings and adapters help you connect the distribution system to your irrigation pipes. Using T-pieces and valve connectors allows you to customize the irrigation zones. Large O-rings ensure tight connections between components.
The Rain Bird manifold delivery generally includes all the necessary parts for basic installation. Detailed information about the included components can be found in the product description. Should you require additional products, DVS Beregnung offers an extensive range of accessories for your garden irrigation needs.
