You can use the GARDENA Connecting Pipe Art. No. 1580/ 1582 3 and GARDENA Hose Clips Art. No. 1591 2 to connect the valve box.
1.Push the nipples 5 from the inside into the box openings.
2.Fasten the nipples 5 to the valve box from the outside using the nuts 6.
3.Screw a tap connector 4 on each nipple 5.
4.Push a hose clip 2 over each pipe end 3.
Tip: Place the pipe ends 3 in warm water to make it easier to push the ends of the pipes 3 onto the tap connectors 4.
5.Push the connecting pipes 3 onto the tap connectors 4 and secure with the hose clips 2.
Note: You can also attach a GARDENA Connector Art. No. 2745/ 2749 7 (1" = 25 mm / 5/4" = 32 mm) to the nipples 5 for connecting hard connecting pipes or other commercially avail- able connecting pipes.
After connecting the pipes to the valve box, the system must be flushed.

Connect Soil Moisture Sensor or Rain Sensor electronic (optional):
In conjunction with the programmed watering time, the moisture level of the soil or the natural precipitation can be taken into account for each Irrigation Valve.
When a sufficient moisture content of the soil is reached, a pro- gramme may be interrupted or activation of a programme may be suppressed.
