Sprinkler irrigation valves are vital for controlling water flow in irrigation systems. They act as switches, opening and closing to direct water to specific zones. Solenoid valves, the most common type, use an electric signal from the controller to open. When the controller activates a zone, the solenoid opens the valve, allowing water through. Manual valves are used for shut - off during maintenance. Pressure - regulating valves maintain consistent water pressure, preventing damage to heads. Anti - siphon valves prevent backflow, keeping water clean. Valves are usually installed in valve boxes for easy access. Regular checks for leaks or malfunctions ensure they work properly. Proper valve operation is key to an efficient, water - saving sprinkler system.​
