Irritrol RSCAP Cap/Disc/Spindle Assembly

This piece worked great to fix our sprinkler system! It was just what we needed and easy for my husband to install!

Product was easy to install and resolved the rain sensor issue. One way to test beforehand is to push the wand down for a couple of seconds. If system turns off, this product will probably help. Discs inside the product degrade over time. They expand when wet, which pushes the wand down. When they dry out, wand raises.

At first the cap would not turn and lock in placed. I found some plastic in the slots where it locks in. Had to use a small file and remove some of the plastic before it would turn and lock into place. It looked like a flaw during processing the cap. It fits good now and did work at the first rain fall. More attention needs to be done during manufacturing.

It worked as is should. Direct replacement for my model and for the first time in a year my rain sensor is doing exactly what it should. In fact it may be just slightly too sensitive but that's an easy adjustment and not the fault of the part.

It fit well, and responded to water as expected.
