To manually open a Rain Bird sprinkler valve, you can either turn off the zone at the controller or use the flow control stem.
Methods to Manually Open a Rain Bird Sprinkler Valve
Here's a breakdown of the methods, based on the provided reference:
1. Using the Controller:
- If your irrigation controller is running, turn off the zone or station that corresponds to the valve you want to open. This will stop the automatic signal to keep the valve closed.
2. Using the Flow Control Stem:
- Turn the flow control stem counter-clockwise. This will manually open the valve, allowing water to flow to the sprinklers in that zone.
- If you want to turn off the valve, turn the flow control stem clockwise until it is off.
