In this video I replace four valves in a sprinkler manifold. Step by step instructions. Parts in the video are annotated.

Uses Rainbird Union valve. 100 DVFUU

3/4” PVC Elbow SCS

Glue is Christy’s Red Hot Blue Glue. Primer is Oatey Purple Primer. The T-handle is simply a glue and primer tote.

Unfortunately Rain Bird discontinued the 100DVF-UU valve. Not sure why because it was my favorite valve. I like having unions on the valves in case there is a valve problem, so I’ll probably look into the Action manifolds.
