Everything You Need to Know About Your Sprinkler Wiring

Welcome back to The Sprinkler Channel where we learn about all the aspects of sprinkler systems. Check out our other videos as well. Subscribe, Like, Comment and do a little dance too. Ok, ok, getting back on track. This video goes through everything! Starting with figuring out the number of strands of sprinkler wire (yes there are many options) (wires in wires) depending on how many sprinkler stations (and other landscape features) you have and what else you might be planning on doing in the future with your landscape, add-ons, new features, etc. (planning pays off & saves a lot of work and frustration). Then onto how to actually unsheathe the wires the easiest way so you don't damage the sprinkler wires. Then onto how to wire up a sprinkler clock correctly! Yes, all clocks have a little different setup but the principles are the same. In this one we use a Hunter Pro-C clock for demonstration. Follow the same thing for other clocks whether they be Rain Bird or Orbit or whatever else you are dealing with. After we have the sprinkler clock wired on to wiring up the sprinkler valves correctly. Every valve has two wires coming out of the solenoid that controls when it is turned on and turned off. These wires are important that they don't get damaged and they don't get corroded otherwise guess what... it won't work like you expect. Also if you don't wire it correctly it won't work. So.... watch and wire it correctly. You will have the common wire twisted together with one of each of the valve wires (doesn't matter which one). The other one is the specific wire that will determine which station it is. It is easier to switch wires in the clock than in the valve box. So if you want a station or zone to be a different zone or station on the clock just swap out the wires to which terminal it goes to in the clock as seen in this video then test. Watch how I wire up the sprinkler clock so you can easily do it yourself. There is probably plenty more details I could have added but just leave your questions in the comments and I will do my best to get to them. Thanks for watching and hope this answers all the questions your heart might have regarding sprinkler wiring and how to wire up your sprinkler clock and sprinkler valves! Have a great summer!
