Features

Conductor: Multi-strand plain Oxygen free copper wire
Insulation: UV stabilised, Redpolypropylene to AS3808
Outer Sheath: Flexible 75°C PVC to AS3808 RoHS

Installation tips

A common wire links one wire on all solenoid valves to the controller and is usually black in colour.
Ensure wire is not taut in the trench, i.e. allow for movement by providing extra slack in all installations.
An active wire is defined as the wire that connects a valve to a specific station. They can be various colours.
All wire connections must be waterproof, i.e. use wire connectors and sealant gel to ensure a waterproof connection.
All valves to be installed in well drained gravel based valve box enclosures.

Gel Connectors

Moisture-resistant wire connector for two or three copper wire connections. Suitable for 0.5-1.5 mm2 cables. Maximum insulation OD is 3.8 mm
No need to strip the insulation back. Push the cable all the way to the stop. With all cables inserted, squeeze the cap with a pair of pliers. Check the gel oozes out of the connector slots.
Test to ensure cables are firmly held within the connector
