Went to a repair call for a system that kept blowing connections on the drip zones- Turns out no press. reducers were installed :hammerhead: Grabbed 2 (brand new in package) RBYs off my truck so I could fit them in the original valveboxes.
After installation they would drip out of the little white dots on either side when the zone was not running.
Run down to parts house and pick up 2 new ones, dig vb's back up (manifold is in two 33" valveboxes, 30" deep), install them- both of them drip. I called RB and they said "we must have had a bad batch, water should never come out of there"
Anyone else had any problems with these? What brand do you install/have good results with? I'm not using their junk anymore, no way am I leaving some dripping piece of garbage at a repair with my name associated with it. We aren't talking about a few drops either; steady dripping until the zone line emptied :angry:
