    Splicing Solenoid Wires on Sprinkler Valve
    Hi All,


    Here's a quick question:

    I just replaced three sprinkler anti-siphon valves in my yard. The directions that came with the new valves did not give specific information on how to splice the solenoids on the valves.

    I know which wires needs to be hooked up, but what is the best way to splice these together for outdoor weatherproofing? Electrical tape? Something else?

    Thanks!
