Compatible with all major irrigation controllers and optimized for smart water conservation, it offers easy maintenance and reliable performance for professional-grade lawn and garden watering systems. ## Description Automatic inline valves are the most common valve in today’s irrigation systems. The L-Series incorporates the very latest technology in inline valve design. It features a 24 VAC solenoid, manual actuation with a quarter twist of the solenoid, and is available in flow control versions. The L-Series valve is the current standard valve in the heavy-duty preassembled valve manifold. An internal scrubber filter helps keep the valve clog-free. Four captured screws in the lid allow for easy servicing. The threads are 3/4-inch or 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) and are compatible with Schedule 40 and 80 PVC fittings as well as the heavy-duty preassembled valve manifold and fittings. The L-Series solenoid features nickel-plated copper wire and is compatible with all major brands of 24 VAC irrigation controllers. We recommend B-hyve controllers for optimum water conservation and PVC-Lock fittings for fast, glue-free installation. For outdoor irrigation use with cold water only. ## Features - For controlling the flow of water in sprinkler or drip irrigation zones; 24 VAC solenoid includes manual actuation with a twist of the solenoid - Internal scrubber filter helps keep the valve clog-free from dirty water; Four captured screws in the lid allow for easy servicing of the valve diaphragm - PVC construction with threads available in 3/4-inch and 1-inch FPT sizes - Direct replacement for valves in the Orbit heavy-duty preassembled manifold - Compatible with controllers from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands; Control with a B-hyve smart controller for optimum water conservation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M5E9ES1 | | Brand Name | Orbit | | Connector Type | Threaded | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (746) | | Exterior Finish | Nickel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046878572812 | | Included Components | valve | | Inlet Connection Size | 1 Inches | | Inlet Connection Type | 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) | | Item Dimensions | 6.7 x 11.2 x 14 centimeters | | Item Highlight | Automatic L-Series Sprinkler Valve for Reliable Irrigation Control, Compatible with All Orbit Controllers | | Item Type Name | 1" Fnpt Inline Valve | | Item Weight | 0.79 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Orbit | | Manufacturer Part Number | 57281L | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Pressure | 100 Pound per Square Inch | | Model Number | 57281 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Outlet Connection Size | 1 Inches | | Outlet Connection Type | FNPT | | Size | 1" Connection | | Specification Met | ASME B16.34 | | Thread Size | 1 inch | | Thread Type | FPT | | UPC | 046878572812 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Valve Type | Sprinkler Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Orbit - **Exterior finish:** Nickel - **Inlet connection size:** 1 Inches - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.7 x 11.2 x 14 centimeters - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Orbit 57280 3/4-Inch FPT Heavy-Duty in-line Sprinkler Valve - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IH1xYb5oL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the replacement part number for the solenoid valve?** A: The latching DC solenoid for use w/ the battery-powered timer is 57861.
