Sprinkler valves

yes ...if you ever want to mod it DO NOT go with the rainbird....i modded one and i leaks like nothing else

This guy knows whats he's talking about ive had bad experiences with rainbirds too. Do most home depots carry orbit watermasters without flow control? I wonder if Ace Hardware has anything?

RainBirds the best brand I've used.... I am currently making MY first pneumatic, but I've modded valves for people I know and Rain Birds always have the best feedback

If you get the right Rain Bird (the kind Joel sells\sold) they work wonders....

Most Watermasters are a nightmare to mod... the 3/4'' in the tutorial is one that is very very good, but the others have the solenoid hole and the middle and/or flow-controls and are much harder to mod

joel sells orbit 1" watermasters, which are 1000x better than the rainbirds

yes i rather agree with Rasta_Coty im not in english class so no-one should give a crap about my capitilazation. also i use periods, commas and other punctuation marks so atleast you can understand me.

i kinda prefer to not type in caps

whats the best way to modify a 1" rainbird? through the external bleed hole or the side?

i got my rainbird at ace...its the only type they carry but i find that they are very hard to mod

These sprinkler valves take 5 min to modify, they are similar to mine but the bleed valve on mine is on the side,leaving the top clear. I have a hunter.

That's what I was think about the whole time Beebs... somehow I confused the Rain Birds and Watermasters...

The Watermasters have a flat top if you get the right kind and are EXTREMELY easy to mod, I believe the model numbers of the good 1" ones are 57100 or something, don't get the 57111, they're much harded to mod
