I installed sprinklers in my front yard this last year, but the final hokoup was cheezed with a Y from the sillcock feeding the valve manifold.
The manifold is right next to the house, and right next to a frost-free sillcock coming out from the crawl.
I want to hook it up in a more permenent way this year, so, aside from the best option (dig down to the main and tee in there), I am thinking of teeing the supply in the crawl that the FF sillcock uses, putting a valve there, and piping it through to the valve manifold.
Great. Every winter and spring I would now have go to my crawlspace and turn off/on the ourside water. Any ideas on how to go about this? Would a solenoid controlled master valve be acceptable?
Also, the manifold is PVC - what would be the proper pipe to go through the foundation wall to reach it and interface with it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
