anti siphon valves

Aug 22, 2005 6 Replies

What is good brand of anti siphon valves for sprinkler systems ( the thing that has the solinoid on it, wires coming out of it, opens the valve to let water flow), I have had to replace these cheap black ones my gardener installs several times. thanks


If you put in a brass backflow device you will never have to worry about individual anti siphon valves again. It will require a plumbing permit and an inspection to install it, but once in the rest should be just regular valves.

We have to have them tested every spring in Ohio.
