The Orbit 62035 Extra Valve is intended for use with Orbit Complete Automatic Yard Watering Kits, specifically models 62032, 94932, 91932, and 62732. Follow these steps to integrate the extra valve into your existing system:
- Chiudere l'erogazione idrica: Before beginning installation, ensure the main water supply to your watering system is completely shut off.
- Identificare il punto di connessione: Locate an available port on your existing Orbit manifold or a suitable connection point within your watering system where you wish to add an additional zone.
