[QUOTE="Screw-Rice, post: 14884515, member: 31264"] PVC is common pipe for irrigation main line. Poly is the standard going from the valve through the zone. Then depending on your sprinkler setup each is either tapped or they used swing line. Your backflow is ancient, haha. That needs to be shut (the knob on the top) so there is zero water running to any of your irrigation, then see if it's still leaking at the driveway. You can be sure you're not getting any water by manually opening one o the zone by twisting the solenoid on top of the valve (the one with the wires going to it). May take a few minutes for the remainder to leak out at the driveway if it is the cause of your leak. Also don't worry about the wire nuts, they are a standard for wiring. They have silicon in them to make them water resistant. [/QUOTE]
