Learn how to install a lawn irrigation valve box like a pro in this step-by-step guide! In this video, I take you through the process of connecting a valve box, running water pipes under a walkway, and setting up a reliable distribution system for your irrigation project. Whether you're upgrading your lawn irrigation system or starting from scratch, this video will help you tackle the project with confidence.
Here’s what you’ll see:
✅ Preparing the supply line from the house connection to the first valve box
✅ Safely opening a walkway to lay water and electrical conduits
✅ Tips for avoiding damage to control cables and boundary wires
✅ Using tools like a stone lifter, pneumatic chisel, and tape to streamline installation
✅ Ensuring leak-proof connections and setting up inspection chambers for future maintenance
✅ Pro tips for laying pipes, including using KG pipes for additional flexibility
I walk you through every step, from removing and storing walkway stones to threading pipes and connecting the valve box. You’ll also learn how to future-proof your setup by adding empty conduits for potential upgrades. This method ensures a durable and efficient irrigation system for years to come.
