Compatible with major controllers and built for durability, it ensures efficient water management and clog-free operation in residential irrigation systems. ## Description The Orbit L-Series 3/4 in. FPT automatic inline sprinkler valve (model 57280) is the standard valve in Orbit heavy-duty preassembled manifolds and one of the most widely used inline valves in residential irrigation.This valve has 3/4 in. female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends. It is not compatible with standard garden hose threads. If your system requires 1 in. FPT, order model 57281.Note for customers replacing an older green Orbit valve: the L-Series body is slightly shorter than earlier green Orbit models such as the 57100. When swapping in-ground, plan for a short pipe extension to bridge the difference.The 24 VAC solenoid is compatible with all major irrigation controllers. Manual actuation requires only a quarter turn of the solenoid. Do not turn beyond 1/4 turn, as overtightening can unseat the O-ring and cause leaks at the solenoid. Four captured screws stay in the lid during service, and an internal scrubber filter keeps the diaphragm clog-free. The solenoid is field-replaceable without removing the valve body. Rated to 120 PSI.A soft-close design reduces water hammer. Fail-safe operation closes the valve if power is lost, preventing unintended flooding. Made in the USA with global parts. For outdoor irrigation use with cold water only. Review: Use for irrigation or to keep your pond full - I have 4 of these solenoid valves on my yard's underground irrigation system. They have quietly worked with no problems for over 15 years. I just bought two more. Not because the old ones broke, but because I needed a valve to use for an automatic pond float valve system. When my pond level gets low I need a valve that I can turn on electrically to refill the pond. These Orbit valves work on 24 volts a.c., so it wasn't hard to make a circuit that could send 24 volts to the valve to release water into the pond on demand. It took me a couple days to build a rig, and now this valve keeps my pond full of water. Review: Excellent valve at a great price - I used these valves with my otherwise Rainbird™️ system. They work great and are a good price. I used doubled pairs of cat5e cable as control wire to my contriller. My controller supply is 26.5VAC@650mA. I connected these to garden hose instead of PVC. It's important to note that these are threaded as female pipe thread, not female hose thread. I used an FPT > FHT on either end and a MHT > MHT union on the outlet end. If you can find an FPT > MHT adapter, you could do it with one less fitting than I used. I have a regulator upstream of these to keep it around 85psi at the spigot, but have tested briefly at 112psi(my house pressure is unreasonably high because of the sediment level in our water) with no leaks. ## Features - For controlling the flow of water in sprinkler or drip irrigation zones; 24 VAC solenoid includes manual actuation with a twist of the solenoid - Internal scrubber filter helps keep the valve clog-free from dirty water; four captured screws in the lid allow for easy servicing of the valve diaphragm - PVC construction with threads available in 3/4-inch and 1-inch FPT sizes; direct replacement for valves in the Orbit heavy-duty preassembled manifold - Compatible with controllers from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands - Control with a B-hyve smart controller for optimum water conservation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MG1VV2M | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,882 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #25 in Automatic Irrigation Accessories | | Brand | Orbit | | Brand Name | Orbit | | Connector Type | Threaded | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,354 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046878572805 | | Included Components | valve | | Inlet Connection Size | 1 Inches | | Inlet Connection Type | National Pipe Tapered | | Item Dimensions | 2.63 x 4.4 x 5.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Irrigation valve | | Item Weight | 10.08 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2.63 x 4.4 x 5.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Orbit Irrigation Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | 57280L | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Pressure | 175 Pound per Square Inch | | Model Number | 57280L | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Outlet Connection Size | 0.75 Inches | | Outlet Connection Type | Female National Pipe Tapered | | Set Name | L-Series | | Size | 0.75 Inch | | Smart Home Compatibility | Smart Home Compatible | | Specification Met | CSA, NSF, UL, WaterSense | | Thread Size | 3/4-inch and 1-inch | | Thread Type | Female Pipe Thread | | UPC | 046878572805 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Valve Type | Butterfly Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Orbit - **Exterior Finish:** Plastic - **Inlet Connection Size:** 1 Inches - **Inlet Connection Type:** National Pipe Tapered - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.63 x 4.4 x 5.5 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Maximum Operating Pressure:** 175 Pound per Square Inch - **Number of Ports:** 1 - **Outlet Connection Size:** 0.75 Inches - **Outlet Connection Type:** Female National Pipe Tapered ## Images ![Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IH1xYb5oL.jpg) ![Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71etk+RRFCL.jpg) ![Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AB+lKwBzL.jpg) ![Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ho3JhDDUL.jpg) ![Orbit 57280 3/4" FPT L-Series Automatic Sprinkler Valve - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uoBpBmaQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i connect a garden hose to another garden hose through this unit or do i need an adapter? is it just a ght gender-reversing adapter?** A: I have this valve connected to a garden faucet using this adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007D5KFOG/ That converts this valve's NPTF threads to GHT. From the other end of this valve, I connect back to some drip system components using this adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00489Y9MO/ **Q: Just installed a new valve and it works but buzzes pretty loud when its working. Is that normal?** A: The list two replacements buzzed noticeably more than earlier models of this same valve. Mine are now two seasons old and continue to function well, albeit still buzzing. **Q: Can it be powered directly by a 24v transformer (https://amazon.com/dp/b000vryvys) connected to a z-wave switch (https://amazon.com/dp/b075p1nc6s)?** A: Yes, but how are you going to time it? It will be open as long as power is on.. **Q: will this replace orbit solenoid 57039-57?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use for irrigation or to keep your pond full *by K***R on April 23, 2026* I have 4 of these solenoid valves on my yard's underground irrigation system.

I put together a 6 manifold system. The controller has a glitch, it won't let you program #5 and #6 unless you start with #1 and reset (or maintain) the settings and just go in order. I have them in a little shelter so they do not get any sun and are at an easy hight to work with. They all worked for the first six month growing season. Two did not survive the winter, although I thought I had drained all of system. I replaced them. NONE of them survived the second winter although after I turned the water supply off, I left the system on for a day to be sure it drained the valves. Two will not turn off, 4 will not turn on. I did all the things the on-line fixers recommended, even buying 2 new solinoids, which did not solve the problem. So, I am buying new ones, same model, since they will be easy to plumb in, I think this winter I will take them out of the system and put them where freezing is not an issue, and put a drop of oil on the solinoid. The cost is small compared to the value of vegetables we grow, let alone the flowers and shrubs. My experience with Chinese products is that quality control is missing, so sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you do not - 10 electronic things failed in my new Audi - all made in China - in the first 50,000 miles, none of the replacements have failed in the second 50,000 miles. 3 of the 6 have failed, and, and 3 are going into their next season. Well drained when turned off, no water in lines in or out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 3/4 Inline Sprinkler Valve - Orbit 57894 4-Station Outdoor Swing Panel Sprinkler System Timer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43020611-orbit-57280-3-4-fpt-l-series-automatic-sprinkler-valve](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43020611-orbit-57280-3-4-fpt-l-series-automatic-sprinkler-valve) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
