Control Up to Four Watering Zones from a Single Spigot
The Orbit Multi-Valve LCD Timer is the ultimate solution for gardeners who need to manage multiple irrigation zones without the hassle of installing a complex underground manifold. This comprehensive system includes a 4-outlet manifold, the digital controller, and two individual valves right out of the box. Need to expand? You can easily add up to two more valves to control a total of four distinct watering zones. To ensure the longevity of the valves, we highly recommend attaching a water filter and pressure regulator downstream of each zone before connecting to your drip mainline.
Programming is straightforward using the large, easy-to-read LCD screen. Operating on a single program, the timer runs your active valves in sequence, allowing you to set completely independent watering durations (from 1 to 240 minutes) for each zone. This prevents pressure loss by ensuring no two zones run simultaneously. Built with standard female hose thread (FHT) inlets and male hose thread (MHT) outlets, it connects quickly to any standard garden hose faucet, making multi-zone automation completely accessible.
- Multi-Zone Control: Easily splits one outdoor faucet into multiple automated zones. It comes with 2 valves, but the manifold supports up to 4.
- Sequential Watering: The timer intelligently runs each valve one after the other. This maintains high water pressure in your system by preventing simultaneous runs.
- Independent Durations: While sharing the same start times, each individual valve can be programmed with its own specific watering duration (1 to 240 minutes).
- Easy Programming: The large LCD screen and dial/button interface make setting up your schedules incredibly intuitive.
- Expandable System: Start with the included two zones, and seamlessly purchase and plug in additional valves as your landscape grows.

Get your multi-zone system running in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Install Batteries
Remove the timer module from the manifold, open the battery tray, and insert two fresh AA industrial alkaline batteries. Snap the timer back into place.
Step 2: Attach Manifold to Faucet
Screw the main female hose thread (FHT) swivel inlet of the 4-port manifold directly onto your outdoor spigot. Hand-tighten firmly to prevent leaks.
Step 3: Connect Valves & Head Assemblies
Attach the two included electronic valves to the threaded ports on the manifold. From there, attach a water filter and pressure regulator downstream of each valve before connecting your drip tubing.
Step 4: Program the Timer
Using the LCD screen, set your current time, desired start times, and watering frequency. Finally, set a specific watering duration for Valve 1 and Valve 2 independently.
