How do you connect an automated system
Here are the main components that make up an automated system:
Manifold
A manifold connects the water
supply to your valves. It acts as the middle man between your water source and the irrigation system.
Solenoid valve
The controller talks to the solenoid valves. They act like doors, letting water flow into the system.
Director
Directs the water from the solenoid valve into the poly pipe, through to your irrigation system.
Nipple
The nipple is a threaded fitting
that connects the manifold to the solenoid.
