1. N 53707 o Important These valves do not provide backflow protection A backflow prevention device installed between the 1 in line valve s and the water source point of connection is required in most areas to prevent back siphoning of contaminants through the sprinkler system into the potable water supply The Toro 1 Pressure Vacuum Breaker PVB model number 53300 is specifically designed for this purpose Before connecting your irrigation system to the potable water supply consult with your local water utility department for information regarding backflow prevention requirements Where local water pressure exceeds 70 psi a presure regulator should be used See Uniform Plumbing Code Sec 1007 b It is advisable to use a regulator with any automatic valve to assure long life as well as uniform and controllable operation 53709 Valve Specifications Operating Pressure 20 150 PSI Flow Range 0 25 30 GPM Solenoid 24 V a c 60 Hz nominal 19 V a c 60 Hz minimum Inrush 0 40 amps 9 6 VA 24 V a c 60 Hz Holding 0 20 amps 4 8 VA 24 V a c 60 Hz Friction Loss GPM Flow 0 25 5 10 15 20 30 PSI Loss 20 35 40 3 0 33 6 2 Installation Procedure Note To ensure ease of installation and optimum valve performance please read through the following instructions completely before starting the installation procedure Step 1 Route 1 schedule 40 PVC pipe from the backflow preventer or system2. Connecting the Valve Wires Figure 3 Figure 3 Grease Cap Step 1 Route 18 AWG direct burial sprinkler cable Timer Connection from the timer to the valves Step 2 Using wire splice connectors attach either wire from each valve solenoid to the white cable wire This wire is designated as the valve Common Wire Connect the remaining wire from the sole noid to one of the color coded wires A Important All wire splices must be insulated with grease caps or similar waterproofing devices Step 3 At the timer connect the control wires to the numbered terminals in the desired operating sequence and the valve common wire to the com mon terminal Step 4 Using the timer s manual control feature test the operation of each valve Manual Operation Figure 4 e Bleed Screw external bleed To open the valve turn the Bleed Screw counterclockwise one full turn or until water begins discharging from the port Note Removing the bleed screw is not required but can be removed to help flush debris from the upper diaphragm area To close the valve turn the bleed screw clockwise until it stops Do not over tighten e Bleed Handle internal bleed To open the valve move the Bleed Handle counter clockwise to the stop To close the valve move the handle clockwise until resistance is felt Do not over tighten e Flow Control Adjustment With the valve operating
3. shut off device to the valve location Flush the supply line thoroughly A Caution Dirt rocks and debris entering the valve can damage the valve and or cause the valve to malfunction Step 2 The instructions and illustrations on the next page provide the most com monly recommended methods of installing in line valves in a manifold arrangement Use the appropriate step by step instruction for the valve model being installed e Model 53707 Installation Figure 1 Step 1 Cut a 4 length of 1 schedule 40 PVC pipe for each valve Step 2 Using PVC primer and cement assemble the pipe section to the valve inlet and tee fitting aligning the tee perpendicular to the valve Repeat this procedure for each valve in the manifold Note The last valve in the manifold can be connected with a 90 elbow instead of a tee However if future expansion of the sprinkler system is expected use the tee fitting and a 4 section of 1 schedule 40 PVC pipe capped on the end This enables the main line to be easily connected to additional downstream valves Step 3 Using 4 sections of 1 schedule 40 PVC pipe connect the valve assemblies together to create the manifold making sure the valves are aligned during assembly Step 4 Ensure the end of the supply line is dry and free of burrs Cement the mani fold to the main line Step 5 Allow the cemented connections to cure for a minimum of one hour or per the cement manufacturer s directions before applying
