um i have a question about a sprinkler valve ok so, i have an orbit water master if u look inside were u attach the barrel (threaded part) you see a small hole there and when u put your finger over u can feel pressure coming out , thats only when your chamber is pressurerized. Can anyone explane to me what it is?

A hole, fill it with epoxy.

no its a hole that was there when you buy it i just wana know what it was, its on every sprinlker valve

its where the valve is normally piloted fill it with epoxy like Novacastrian said

grr not the silnoide its where you screaw on the barrel

Uh, perhaps the exhaust? Seriously man, take a picture or something.

EDIT: Also, please use some semblance of proper grammar and spelling. It's a solenoid, not a silnoide

yea it the exhaust i know exactly what your talking about and your suppose to fill it with epoxy.

Doesn't a sprinkler valve exhaust through the barrel portion when the solenoid is used? According to the SGTC, it does.

That's the hole that the volume above the diaphragm exhausts through when the solenoid is triggered.

It should have been plugged with epoxy along with the rest of the area that the solenoid fit into.

If it is coming out the exhaust side where you screw in the barrel looking in there you can see a hole that it's coming out of it attaches to the guide rod which is hollow right FILL IT WITH EPOXY

um theres no giude rod.

PVC Arsenal's pic should show you were the air is coming from. Either re-attach your solenoid or plug the main solenoid hole with epoxy. Your problem should be fixed.

yea same thing happened to mine and do what everyone else said and it doesnt matter if theres a guide rod
