Irritrol 205S Globe Valve Slip Connection, 1"

I needed a new valve but old on was mounted in the ground in the sprinkler manifold. To remove it was very expensive. I used this one as rebuild parts. It was same part number so I removed the screws on the top and replaced everything in the old valve except the base. Problem solved for 1/4 the cost it would have been to replace complete valve.

Irritrol valves were used in many older homes 20 to 35 hears ago. They were of good quality that would last >20 years. However, they were sold off and now more expensive. It is easier, less costly, and require less time to replace their parts and than the entire valves/sprinkler manifold.

Easy to install and still working today!

Put them on my sprinkler system and worked great , definitely recommend getting them

Wasn't exact match of old unit but was able to pull the guys out and rebuild old unit

This cost way less from Amazon then it would have locally, if I could find it at all and this unit did the job. I had a horrible time installing, owing to the small sprinker box it was impossible to get both hands down into at the same time. I went to look at some YT videos for help and learned that when working on this valve the best course of action is to, first, remove the entier box to gain to the valve - valuable lesson, that. I did this and found in the process that I had roots completely encasing the sprinkler lines and part of the valve-body. It then took me two days to gingerly cut away the roots to free up the line and valve - I used wood chisels to do it, going very carefully - note, please, that the valve was at this point still not yet repaired. I then removed the top from the valve, the part with the mechanics in it, and very, very carefully mounted it on the existing valve body still in the hole. Did the trick. It was a daunting effort but way better than having to pay a sprinkler repairman at least a couple hundred to do the job for me.

I looked at many options to purchase this product and it came with all the pieces I need and then some. Sturdy construction and easy to install!

I have 15 year old valves that appear to be this model and they are not in position to remove them when they go bad so I have been able to get this valve and take off the top part including the solenoid and put its parts on the old ones. Works well.
