Orbit Pro 1" FPT L-Series Automatic Inline Sprinkler Valve with Flow Control - 57291

Great product

Works as advertised.

I use these valves on a pump and dump geothermal unit. I don't like to waste water and tried other brands but they didn't actually adjust the flow, this one does. Easy to install, love it.

Works great! No leaks and has kept working for months and no issues. Seems sturdier and better built than the ones at the big box store.

This black Orbit in line valve pro model 57290 is slightly shorter between the inlet and outlet (see pic) than the 57100 green valve. This difference is worth noting if using this to replace a 57100 because you'll likely need to modify (extend) your piping a little. The female threaded fittings are not quite as thick as the green one, either, so more care is needed to not overtighten and crack them. The heights are roughly the same, so no clearance issues related to that aspect. The best feature of this pro model is the flow control knob. Another nice feature is the captive screws on the bonnet - no more hunting for screws dropped in the valve box. If you have a zone you need to reduce the flow on, I'd recommend this pro valve. If Orbit made the plumbing dimensions identical, I'd give it 5 stars because it would save a lot of time to do the swap.

Just got this installed in my watering system with no issues. This connected to my 24v controller with no issues and was easy to install. The flow rate is adjustable so I use this for my line that goes to my plants out front and can adjust amount of water based on how many plants I have. This has the ability to be disassembled and clean to prevent clogging in the future. i have many Orbit components and never ha issues, so I expect this to last a long time.

I needed a valve to control the water going to the back half of our yard. This valve does a great job and has a feature that’s pretty nice. It is electrically controllable which is nice so I can remotely turn water to the sprinklers and the hose bibs in the backyard on or off whenever I want. It has three quarter inch threaded ports for the incoming and outgoing PVC pipe so that gives it even more flexibility. The valve itself is very solid and well made. I’ve used Orbit valves before and they’re a good company that does a good job and this is a professional version of their inline valve so you know it’s got to be better. At the top of the valve is a flow control valve that determines how much water goes through the valve when it’s completely open. It moves very easily and it’s a nice feature. This is a well built commercial valve that is built with high quality materials and parts. Orbit is a great company and I have no reservations recommending this valve to anyone who needs it.

when I receive the product, the product envelop is dirty and teared, the product is dusty. I cleaned it up. After careful installation, the valve is leaking/dripping. I've mounted to the pipe, hard to replace it.

Direct replacement for my previous orbit valve. Make sure to check the correct voltage options. Works as it should. Good price compared to elsewhere and has the option of regulating flow when activated.

Easy install and good quallity, it repaced one thar was five years old that froze and split
