• use 16-gauge (AWG) wire. Terminals accept up to 14-gauge wire. The wire
can be buried in the ground; however, for more protection wires can be pulled
through PVC pipe and buried underground. Be careful to avoid burying the wires
in locations where they could be damaged by digging or trenching in
the future.
• Each valve has two wires. One wire is to be connected as the common. The
common wires for all the valves can be connected together to one common wire
going to the timer. The other valve wire is to be connected to the specific station
wire that will control that valve [See Figure 16].
• All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, or vinyl tape. For
additional protection to waterproof connections a WaterMaster® grease cap
can be used.
• To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should be connected to each station.
