## Overview

The Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve is a durable, high-performance irrigation valve featuring a 24 VAC solenoid with manual actuation, an internal scrubber filter to prevent clogging, and easy servicing via four captured screws. Compatible with major irrigation controllers and PVC fittings, it ensures precise water flow control and optimal water conservation when paired with smart controllers like B-hyve.

## Description

Automatic inline valves are the most common valve in today’s irrigation systems. The L-Series incorporates the very latest technology in inline valve design. It features a 24 VAC solenoid, manual actuation with a quarter twist of the solenoid, and is available in flow control versions. The L-Series valve is the current standard valve in the heavy-duty preassembled valve manifold. An internal scrubber filter helps keep the valve clog-free. Four captured screws in the lid allow for easy servicing. The threads are 3/4-inch or 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) and are compatible with Schedule 40 and 80 PVC fittings as well as the heavy-duty preassembled valve manifold and fittings. The L-Series solenoid features nickel-plated copper wire and is compatible with all major brands of 24 VAC irrigation controllers. We recommend B-hyve controllers for optimum water conservation and PVC-Lock fittings for fast, glue-free installation. For outdoor irrigation use with cold water only.

Review: Great upgrade - Work way better than the older designs, they always seep and I replace with these. Do yourself a favor and install the manifold with unions and replaceable orings

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i connect a garden hose to another garden hose through this unit or do i need an adapter?  is it just a ght gender-reversing adapter?**
A: I have this valve connected to a garden faucet using this adapter:  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007D5KFOG/
That converts this valve's NPTF threads to GHT.
From the other end of this valve, I connect back to some drip system components using this adapter:  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00489Y9MO/

**Q: Just installed a new valve and it works but buzzes pretty loud when its working.  Is that normal?**
A: The list two replacements buzzed noticeably more than earlier models of this same valve. Mine are now two seasons old and continue to function well, albeit still buzzing.

**Q: Can it be powered directly by a 24v transformer (https://amazon.com/dp/b000vryvys) connected to a z-wave switch (https://amazon.com/dp/b075p1nc6s)?**
A: Yes, but how are you going to time it? It will be open as long as power is on..

**Q: will this replace orbit solenoid 57039-57?**
A: Yes

*by K***R on August 15, 2020*

We live in the "high desert" of CA, annual rainfall is about 10", and that is mostly in the winter. I put together a 6 manifold system. The controller has a glitch, it won't let you program #5 and #6 unless you start with #1 and reset (or maintain) the settings and just go in order. I have them in a little shelter so they do not get any sun and are at an easy hight to work with. They all worked for the first six month growing season. Two did not survive the winter, although I thought I had drained all of system. I replaced them. NONE of them survived the second winter although after I turned the water supply off, I left the system on for a day to be sure it drained the valves. Two will not turn off, 4 will not turn on. I did all the things the on-line fixers recommended, even buying 2 new solinoids, which did not solve the problem. So, I am buying new ones, same model, since they will be easy to plumb in, I think this winter I will take them out of the system and put them where freezing is not an issue, and put a drop of oil on the solinoid. The cost is small compared to the value of vegetables we grow, let alone the flowers and shrubs. My experience with Chinese products is that quality control is missing, so sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you do not - 10 electronic things failed in my new Audi - all made in China - in the first 50,000 miles, none of the replacements have failed in the second 50,000 miles. 3 of the 6 have failed, and, and 3 are going into their next season. Well drained when turned off, no water in lines in or out.
