Installation Procedure
CAUTION:
When assembling the Drip Zone Valve
Kit components, use just 1
1
⁄2 to 2 turns of Teflon
tape on male threads. Never use pipe dope.
To achieve a leak-free thread connection, turn the
male fitting until it is finger tight, then add one or
two more turns. Over-tightening can cause splitting
and failure of the female threads.
Important: Ensure the Y-Filter, Jar Top Valve and
Pressure Regulator are installed in the correct flow
orientation. Flow direction arrows are provided on each
component. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
1. Using the Close Nipple, install the Ball Valve to the Jar
Top Valve inlet.
2. Remove the Bonnet Ring from the Y-Filter by turning
it counterclockwise. Remove the Bonnet and Filter
Screen. See Figure 1.
3. Install the Y-Filter inlet to the Jar Top Valve outlet.
4. Install the Pressure Regulator inlet to the Y-Filter outlet.
5. Reassemble the Y-Filter components.
Note: Hand tighten the Bonnet Ring only – do not
over-tighten.
Important: Refer to the provided Toro Jar Top Valve,
Anti-Siphon (AVB) installation instructions for additional
important installation and operating information.
6. To determine the recommended minimum/maximum
number of drip emitters per Jar Top valve, refer to the
table below.
