Replacing a Hunter To a Rain Bird Sprinkler Valve

all right good morning guys welcome back to mr ramses can fix it today we're going to replace a um sprinkler valve system show you how to do it with the right tools and we'll do it right now we got these easy cutters for the pvc they work great we want to cut at the same length on both sides that way when we put our stuff on and all be level that's your main you can see all the where it was leaking because you got the calcium buildup on the on the pipe here so i got a little bit of sandpaper to take that off it'll stick on really good you can see this one here also it has the same issue so this one's gonna have to be replaced too but we're just gonna video tape this one and i'll deal with this one uh so that's right we're doing so we're gonna put these on here make a quick connectors these couplings here will make it easier next time when the valve needs to be [Music] [Music] replaced i'm just trying to pipe up um so these are just quick connect the coupling quick connectors so and then we just add a little bit of piece of pipe there i'm gonna make it about big so we're gonna cut two pieces at the same length and we're gonna add to it um you can see how easy and nice these cutters are it seems like they cut like butter i'm just gonna prime the pvc so the glue will grab really nice i'll let that dry here for a second and we're just gonna add this coupling into this and then the other end will go in here like that so from when we cut this line we know that this is your your water line right here this is your main this is where the water comes in and it goes throughout your system so if we look at the flow of the water ends your main comes in here and it comes out to your vents here there's one there's that one it's ready to go so this will come off to screw on the valve here and now we're going to do the back side that's pretty much ready so we'll just take this off let it dry and we'll screw this in so we're just gonna grab a pair of pliers [Music] now we're just going to tighten this up really nice too much all right so we're gonna set this up remember the valve the name has to come up through here and then out down this one so then we just screw this in uh okay and put it that's pretty much done this portion is done of the installation of the of the valve and then we gotta do the wiring so um one wire from the solenoid here goes to the common with all the wires hooked up together and then it goes the other one goes to the other whatever station it's at so usually i leave this for last it's still hooked up as you can see so i just follow the wires you can see that this is common this bunch of uh wires right here this is common so one of these wires from the solenoid has to go on the common side so we're just going to grab this undo this cap i'm going to take this off here and then these wires came undone so let's fix them up so these are all common so we'll grab one other side of the solenoids and put it in the common side i know it seems like it's pretty crazy because there's a lot of wires there uh so that's a common and then we grab the other side of this old sprinkler and we just follow the wire and it goes to the yellow one so it's on station yellow so this is trash because this is where it was leaking from right here so it had a crack on it so that's why we're replacing it so we'll just grab the other wire from the solenoid and hook it up to the yellow one and that's where the station is at then we'll grab a wire cap for this because it was bare but let's not keep it that way so to keep the job neat we just put a cap on this and that's pretty much it changing a sprinkler valve um it's pretty simple long as you have the right tools these cutters make make it pretty easy to cut the wires or i'm sorry to cut the pipe uh so make sure you get a pair of these and then the glue and the primer all right you guys have a great day and um don't forget to subscribe and like the channel we'll catch you on the next one
