Customer Reviews for K-Rain Pro Series 150 1-1/2 in. In-Line Valve

Does what it should. Ordered 10. 9/10 worked. still couldn't beat price and Hone Depot always makes replacing/refunding right.

I used this as my Master Valve on my sprinkler system. Valve works great.

Well here you have a 1 inch screw in, in line automatic sprinkler valve. 24 volts. Not sure of the brand but it does have a large K Rain on it. I'm also not sure if the product I received is how a consumer would receive it. This came in a brown shipping box wrapped in some shipping paper. No instructions other then some electrical specs stamped on the controller solenoid. In comparison to a like model in a name brand they are similar in design shape etc. it has the typical one inch inlet and outlet with screw in adapters. 24 volt solenoid with two wires for low voltage input. Air bleed valve and a manual on lever attached to the bottom of the solenoid. The diaphragm cap is held down by several screws. After installing this into my gardens water main line it works fine with my controller and the manual lever. Install was straight forward no leaks etc. So here you go good performing product great price point. No frill packaging , if it doesn't come with basic instructions this might not be great for someone with little plumbing knowledge. With a 5 year warranty not sure after that can they be repaired or need to be replaced. It's been my experience with my landscaping crew that valves of this type in our California climate last about 10 years before minor issues appear. If your planning a system and looking for price point function here you go.

I am reviewing the K-Rain Pro Series 150 1” In-line Valve. I got this valve to use on my home watering system. I use drip lines to water the plants around the house. This valve works well for that purpose. The valve has an arrow on the side of the valve body to indicate the direction of water flow. There is also a convenient bleed screw on the top of the valve chamber to get the air out of the system and manually open the valve. There are two water connections, the input, and output. Then two wires to connect it to power. I have a zone time so the wires connect to a short cable which then connects to my timer. The valve is powered with 24VAC, which is the output voltage of my timer. One tip when installing this or any plastic valve that uses pipe thread connections, be careful! Do NOT over tighten the fittings. The manufacturer says to hand tighten the fittings then use a wrench to turn one more revolution. They recommend the use of Teflon tape on the threads of the fittings. I am very pleased with this valve.

Bought 3 of these and all 3 of them leaked from the seal between the top and bottom of the valve straight out of the box.

Valve leaks from day 1. Very poor quality control.

Never got the product. No help from customer service

Replaces damaged valves of the same model. Works as expected.

Valve was defective, had to return it and will decide if I order another one.

Fit perfect, so far I am pleased with item price and service. Wish you would offer discount for Vets.

Instructions aren't completely clear on how to operate manually, figured it out eventually. Otherwise, works great.

Excellent price and service

It does the job. It's been operating for a few weeks and no problems so far.

They worked great highly recommend

I bought two of these for use on irrigated fields at my house. They installed as any valve would and work the same way. I would recommend

Working as I hoped it would

I needed a residential valve and this is commercial. No one to discuss with. Probably have to return.

Easy to install. Worked great.

Great valve, works well. The problem is that it has little to no instructions other than use this needle as a bleeder during installation. So do I take it out? Do I run the water while i have it out...no other instructions. What is the turn valve thing at the top middle?

This valve worked out real good.
