Irrigation Control Valves?

Dan:

Is it leaking around the packing where the stem goes through the nut up to the handle. Usually you can tighten the nut which compresses the packing material so that it has a tighter fit against the stem of the valve.

Now not knowing what you have there might not be an on/off handle, but it you are getting leakage I’d hope that it is a tightening problem and not a defective item,

I have used Rachel (sp) valves for a few decades and found them to both reliable and inexpensive.

Karson, I’m actually suspicious that my water pressure might be too high. I need to find the gauge and check again, but I remember doing all of the calculations that the landscaping resources said I needed, and thinking “if I have 35PSI I can do this the easy way”, checking it, and being at 90PSI or so.

Kidlingmaker, I’m not finding a “Rachel” valve. I’ve looked around under “Rachel”, “Rachle”, “Reichel”, “Reichle” and “Riechel”, and found nothing. If you can come up with more details, I’m interested!

Thanks. And, regarding your signature, why not? A few turns of electrical tape and you’ve got plenty of insulation on that coat hanger wire…
