Installation Procedure

1. From the shut-off valve, route a supply pipe to the valve

installation site. For UV protection, use dark gray
Schedule 80 PVC on the inlet (pressurized) side of the
valve and all PVC pipe installed above ground. Use
Class 200 PVC on the underground sprinkler lines.

2. Flush the supply line thoroughly to remove all traces of

dirt and debris.

3. Prepare two 1" slip/male thread adapters with three to five

complete wraps of PTFE tape, evenly covering the threads. 

CAUTION: Use only PTFE tape on threaded valve
connections. Pipe dope will damage plastic threads.

4. Install the threaded adapters into the valve and tighten

securely. Using PVC primer and cement, install the valve to
the PVC pipe as shown in Figure 1.

5. Route a multi-wire, direct-burial sprinkler valve cable

from the sprinkler timer to the valve location. If the cable
run is less than 800', 18-gauge wire is sufficient. For dis-
tances from 800'–2000', 14-gauge wire is recommended. 

6. Using wire splice connectors, attach either wire from

each valve solenoid to the white cable wire. This wire is
designated as the valve common wire. Connect the
remaining wire from the solenoid to one of the color-
coded cable wires. Ensure all wire connections are
secure and waterproof. 

CAUTION: Use Toro Waterproof Wire Connectors
(Model # 53687) or grease caps on all wire splice

connections to prevent corrosion, connection failure
and short circuit. 

7. At the sprinkler timer, connect the white common wire to

the output terminal labeled “C” or “COM.” Connect each
color-coded valve wire to the numbered output 
terminals in the order you wish the valves to operate 
during the automatic watering cycle.

8. Open the shut-off valve from the water source. Test valve

operation using the timer or manually at the valve.

Valve Installation Guidelines
Ensure the following requirements, in addition to all local code 
requirements, are met when installing the Toro Jar Top Anti-Siphon Valve:
• The installed height, measured from the valve base, must not be less

than of 6" above the highest downstream outlet controlled by the valve.

• The anti-siphon valve must not be subject to standing water which can

rise to less than 6" from the base of the valve.

• The anti-siphon valve must not be installed indoors (some spillage may

occur) or in a valve box below ground level.

• The installation site must be accessible to allow inspection and servicing.
• Additional control valves must not be installed downstream of the anti-

siphon valve.

• The anti-siphon valve must be installed vertically with the top of the 

anti-siphon cap level.

• The valve must not be operated continuously for more than 12 hours in

any 24-hour period.

• Installing a manual shut-off valve between the main water supply and

automatic valve or valve manifold is recommended for ease of valve
maintenance and sprinkler system winterization.

• Where local water pressure exceeds 70 psi, a pressure regulator should

be used. (See Uniform Plumbing Code, Sec. 1007 [b].) It is advisable to
use a regulator with any automatic valve to assure long life as well as 
uniform and controllable operation.
