Valves are the heart of an irrigation system. To simplify valve installation and maintenance and ensure longlasting system performance, it’s important to understand how these components work.

In this video, we’ll identify the different components of a valve, including the parts visible on the outside as well as those on the inside. We’ll also show you how water travels through a valve and explain the forces that cause a valve to open and close.
