Commercial Irrigation Manifold

There are many different techniques for installing multi-zoned irrigation systems. One of the more popular methods is to "manifold" the valves together either in the same box or in side-by-side boxes. This allows for easier maintenance and reduces the number of green boxes visible in the turfgrass.

Scott Skiles owner of Capital Irrigation out of the MD/DC/VA region installed the manifold you see in the image below. Scott also installed isolation valves to make it easier to service the system. Scott Skiles is well known for quality installation and great craftsmanship.

If you look closely you will notice only one green wire, not a multi-bundle. A two wire control system was used on this project to reduce the amount if copper wire and increase the flexibility for future expansion and alterations.
