Can anyone tell me who makes this automatic sprinkler valve?

Question

I couldn't get a name off the valve as it sits. It has a leak on the top plate and i'd like to replace the valve plate as opposed to cutting the whole thing out and replacing.

Answer 1

i have seen many types of valves on an everyday basis.

and i havent even seen one like this.

its most likely a cheaper knock off brand valve.

you have enough room to replumb a new one in quite easily.

if you do not have enough room right before the valve to just cut it out, cut the pipe on the other side and unthread the valve from the threaded fitting.

then buy some fittings and pipe and replumb it.

you have a lot of room to work on it.

i doubt you will find the same valve to part it out with.

use either a Hunter valve or a rainbird valve

avoid toros, orbits, weathermatic, and lawn genie parts.

good luck and just take your time.

I dont think they sell just the top plate by itself even if you could determine the mfgd.  Cut out the entire old valve and replace it.  Its not that big of a job.
