Orbit 2-Valve Preassembled Irrigation Manifold 2-Valve (Outdoor, 24VAC, Swivel Unions)

The Orbit 57250 is a heavy‑duty, fully preassembled 2‑valve irrigation manifold built for easy service, fast valve replacement, and reliable outdoor cold‑water use.

This preassembled manifold replaces traditional glued or threaded riser assemblies with a professionally engineered single or multi‑zone valve system. It arrives factory‑assembled so you can mount it quickly, connect your piping, and benefit from improved access to valves and accessories. The unit features premium L‑Series internal‑bleed 24 VAC solenoids compatible with major controllers and swivel unions that make maintenance straightforward.

How does this manifold simplify repairs and upgrades?

The Orbit manifold uses swivel union fittings that thread off easily so valves and accessories can be swapped without cutting pipes or breaking glued joints. That design drastically reduces labor and downtime when adding a new station or replacing a worn valve.

• Swivel unions create a watertight seal and unthread for quick component access
• Valves slide out and in without cutting PVC or disassembling the entire riser
• Compatible with add‑on items like drip filters and pressure regulators

What valves and electrical compatibility are included?

The manifold comes fitted with Orbit L‑Series valves that have internal‑bleed design and 24 VAC solenoids, making them suitable for common irrigation setups. These valves work with Orbit controllers as well as Hydro‑Rain and other major controller brands.

• Premium L‑Series internal‑bleed irrigation valves
• Standard 24 VAC solenoids for broad controller compatibility
• Simple wiring and replacement if needed

How should I install the preassembled manifold for best results?

For a professional installation, mount the preassembled manifold on the valve box base and cover it with a standard valve box to protect components. The factory assembly ensures correct alignment, so the job focuses on piping, electrical connections, and any optional accessories you add.

• Mount manifold to valve box base for stability and protection
• Use standard PVC or polyethylene piping to connect inlet/outlets
• Add optional drip filters or pressure regulators easily via swivel unions
