Product arrived on time as promised. New OEM Rain Bird equipment. When installed it worked precisely as it should. I used it to replace older APAS type 3/4 valve which was causing sprinkler heads to leak. It required some modification of existing pipes to install as the JTV075-ASV pipe inlets and outlets were farther apart than the existing APAS style valves. It was actually cheaper to replace the valves with new (at the price paid) than to purchase replacement parts for the APAS valves

My home had a sprinkler system installed nearly 20 years ago with all RainJet parts. They have since gone out of business. Their parts were great quality, but time came where simple repairs to the valve were no longer enough to keep them leak-free and working. These Rain Bird valves are very similar to them, and they replaced the Rain Jet valves without any need to change the spacing of the inlet and outlet lines. I wouldn’t be surprised if these lasted 20 years as well.

These Rain Bird 3/4 inch jar top anti siphon valves for sprinkler systems seem to work fine (I ordered 3 and have installed one thus far). I’m submitting this review only to note that during shipping somebody managed, incredibly, to CHOP OFF THE SOLENOID CONNECTION LEADS of one of the three valves I ordered. It’s too much trouble to return; I can solder on new leads, but it reflects astonishingly bad handling.
