Installing the solenoid valves: valve box or wall-mounted manifold unit
Solenoid valves can be installed in the ground in valve boxes or mounted on the wall with a valve manifold unit. Both options are modularly expandable if further irrigation circuits are to be connected. Valves and manifolds are designed for a pressure of up to 10 bar. In winter, the entire system is drained with compressed air. For this purpose, a pneumatic compressor is connected in the supply line or in the area of the valve distribution to drain all areas of the system with compressed air.

2-way valves - scope of application and use in irrigation
A valve box is a container in which solenoid valves can be installed to adjust the flow of water. It is made of plastic and is available in different sizes. The valve box can hold up to six solenoid valves and allows the valves to be installed underground. The valve box is available in two versions: Jumbo (1220) and Standard (1419). The Jumbo version has space for more valves and is therefore suitable to cover larger areas. The standard version is suitable for smaller and medium-sized gardens and allows for easy installation.
Structure of the valve box - product details and use
The valve box has a cover that can be opened with a wrench. This allows easy access to the valves for installation or maintenance. The lid also serves as protection from rain, animals and other elements that could interfere with the valves inside the box. The box is usually shipped without pre-drilled holes so that the user can adapt it to their own specific needs.
