The purpose is to link the superior hydraulic valves already installed to the updated and more versatile modern controllers. The problem is as stated that the valve could still be up to 100 feet away. Generally these valves (and their tubing that supplies water pressure to turn them on or off) are along the main and centered or at the near end of the zone they supply. If you've dug up the pipe be sure you leave no leaking tubes at your repair point.

I've only seen this type valve at one house and I don't know anything about them. I think you will have to go to the Toro website.

Looks like little clear tubes or toothpaste. Any idea? The problem is that one zone will not turn on. I am new at this and am trying to put the pieces together. Thanks.

I ran across a mysterious leak in a PVC pipe a few weeks ago. Just a hole punched down in the top of the pipe, like someone drove a big nail into the pipe (which was buried about 8 inches). The clients had no clue as to how it got there. I repaired it and 3 days later they called me back with an identical hole about a foot away! What the heck? I asked them if they had recently pitched a tent, or put stakes in the ground to tie ropes to, to stabilize a tree. Suddenly it dawned on them that it was the Lawn Guy who used one of those Root Feeders to fertilize the tree. Problem solved. I’m thinking more of a gardening tool.
