Before there was irrigation cable, there was thermostat wire.

Some thermo cables are rated for sunlight exposure

One of my guys is going to repair some phone wire tomorrow. Customer chopped with a shovel. I fixed once this spring where the voles chewed it up.

My all time favorite was the job that we had where the install contractor used 3 conductor #12 romex for the control cable. They ran a romex cable from the controller to each valve...... then they tried to connect 24 romex cables directly to the controller terminal strip. It was a mess. The cables were just wire nutted to the valves. The property owner was too cheap to fix it.... of course he was too cheap not to hire the low bidder to install the project so that's why he got what he had!

How do YOU connect wires to the valves? Gold "platted" terminal strip?

Heres a pic I took today of a lateral. One would think that you would cut one piece of poly instead of 2.
