Working well so far. Had to buy extension for a 4th valve. Would recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for above-ground manifold -- easy to install for a beginner *by D***R on April 5, 2026* I asked an irrigation company to build a six-valve manifold -- estimate was $2,000. So I decided to build myself. And with this manifold, it is practically built. I used six valves but you can extend it even further. Because everything screws together, it was easy to assemble. I used plumber's tape on the threads just to ensure they didn't leak. PRO TIP: Make sure your setup satisfies code compliance. The valves need to be a certain height from the irrigation line and you must ensure no contaminated water flows back into the source. I installed a UPC® Certified 1" Brass Pressure Vacuum Breaker to the manifold which is also compliant with the ASSE 1020-2020 standard. The benefit of using a separate pressure vacuum (as opposed to using valves that have them built in) is that is can be tested and certified that is is working. I used threaded 1" PVC couplings to attach to the manifold so I can remove if I have to. This is an easy weekend job -- even with multiple trips to the hardware store to get PVC fittings. And I saved $2,000. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 57253 3-Valve Heavy Duty Preassembled Manifold - Orbit 53230 Standard Rectangular Sprinkler Valve Box Base - Orbit 53212 12" Standard Rectangular Sprinkler Valve Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/673979-orbit-57253-3-valve-heavy-duty-preassembled-manifold](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/673979-orbit-57253-3-valve-heavy-duty-preassembled-manifold) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
