Dura Valve Boxes

Since 2003, Dura Plastic Products has been manufacturing irrigation control valve boxes. Dura plastics owns and operates its valve box manufacturing facility, located in Celina, Tennessee. Dura continues to grow and expand this line of enclosures in more than 50 countries. Irrigation control valve boxes are a very important item for the professional contractor. Whether installing a golf course in Florida, a park in San Francisco, or an automated watering hole at the Kruger National Park in South Africa, valve boxes provide the much needed protection and keep everything inside safe, clean, and dry from the elements.

FAQ's

What does a solenoid valve do in an irrigation system?

A solenoid valve acts like a switch for water flow in irrigation. When activated by an irrigation controller, it opens an internal passage, allowing water to flow to a specific zone (sprinklers, drip system) and closes when shut off by the controller, stopping water flow.

What is a solenoid valve diaphragm used for?

In a solenoid valve, the diaphragm is a crucial component that acts as a barrier between the control mechanism (electrical coil) and the fluid being controlled (water, air, etc.). It has two main functions:

Sealing: The diaphragm separates the pressurised fluid from the electrical components of the valve. This prevents water damage to the coil and ensures a safe electrical operation.

Controlling Flow: The diaphragm moves based on the energising or de-energising of the solenoid coil. When energised, the coil creates a magnetic field that pulls the diaphragm open, allowing fluid to flow through the valve. Conversely, when de-energised, the magnetic field collapses, and a spring or fluid pressure pushes the diaphragm back to its closed position, stopping the flow.

How long do valve boxes last?
