Connecting Valve Control Wires
1.
Route color coded multi-wire direct burial sprinkler cable
from timer location to valve manifold. Cable must have at
least one wire more than the number of valves to be con-
nected. (This wire is used as a common wire to all valves.)

Using wire nuts, attach a separate control wire to one wire
of each valve solenoid (either solenoid wire can be used).
Attach one common wire (generally the white wire) to
remaining wire of each valve solenoid. Note wire color
used for each valve for identification at timer. See diagram
in Figure 3.
Common Wire
Note: All wire splices must be properly insulated to prevent
a short circuit or corrosion from occurring. Installing grease
caps or waterproof wire connectors is recommended.
