Orbit 91207 3-Valve Preassembled Manifold, Poly Pipe

I’m not a fan of Orbit brand but the manifold system is something they have gotten right and I’ve installed 8-10 units of from one to 5 valves. The built in unions, 1” size with 3/4” adapters and variety of pvc/poly fittings provide decent value. The beauty of the design is it is easy to configure with valves facing opposite direction or even put a valve on the end of the manifold. People complain about leaks but if you pay attention to getting the pipes aligned with minimum side stress on the fittings it works fine. I’ve used manifolds from other brands which have been okay but I like the thicker o-rings and larger bearing surfaces of the Orbit unions.The included valves are the usual Orbit rubbish which may or may not last or work well. I’ve had their solenoids and valves fail within weeks and I’ve had them go years without a problem. When they fail just replace with Hunter valves and never have to bother with it again unless you have dirty water.

I've had to install, then reinstall 12 zones in my landscape, fully self-taught. These made it easy and saved me dozens of "well THIS fitting didn't work" trips to the hardware store. With fittings to connect to poly lines or PVC and off-the-shelf connectors for adding whatever you want, sorry construction, and simple troubleshooting, these are worth the $$. Just be sure to install drains to protect these from freezing--they're pretty tough but I killed one manifold in last winter's deep freeze.

Purchased many of these. Always easy install with no leaks.

It works great with other orbit parts, easy to install. only drawback is no drain on valve to purge the air at start up or empty the remaining water at end of season, BTW I live in MT.

Very well made, The connections are solid and no leaking.

Works great. Glad we got it!

If you truly want to have irrigation that you can control on your phone with an app there is no better system than this orbit system. These are well made and are easy to put together and install.

This header fit great for my need. It is lightweight yet stout. There were zero leaks after I put it together.
