This is how pop-up spray heads look without pressure regulation.
The idea is to concentrate the water on the area being irrigated.
In high-pressure conditions, you will get a smaller water droplet size which may
lead to a misting effect.
So we've already turned off the water supply from our isolation valve.
In your case, it might be at the backflow preventer but either way the main line
does not have any water pressure in it.
We'll be installing this 30 PSI preset Accu-Sync
model and one thing to remember: the sideways
regulator is independent from the center shaft.
So if you're curious how you're going to thread this onto the bonnet with this
long perpendicular piece,
the center shaft is independent from the right angle handle.
So as the solenoid goes in, the center shaft will spin in place
allowing it to insert into the threads on the bonnet
and when you're finished you can relocate this
perpendicular part to anywhere that doesn't get in your way. So we'll start out
by removing the existing solenoid and once
it's out of the way, we'll take the Accu -Sync
and it's a good idea to start the base thread
into the bonnet even with just about a half a turn.
Once you've got that portion started, you can use the solenoid
to tighten down on the center shaft and insert that shaft into the bonnet.
So I'll start out here with the solenoid
and once the solenoid is seated all the way down
onto the center shaft, the center shaft is independent from this sideways piece.
So you can relocate this wherever you need to,
but by pre-installing it, it always ends up right here
and tucked away. The incoming pressure
needs to be at least 15 PSI greater than what the desired outgoing pressure is.
So with 30 PSI here, I have to have at least 45 coming in
for it to do any regulation. Now let's take a look at our sprays
before and after the Accu-Sync is installed.
