We looked at several aspects when choosing the best valves, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a valve for any aesthetic preference, we looked for valves that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.
Note: It doesn't mean that the valves that aren't mentioned here are bad. We picked these because these will help most of the people. If you have very specific preferences, we suggest you consider one of the below-mentioned products as a starting point before finalizing your pick.

If you often find yourself scrambling for good valve, rain bird one valve should be your first option for buying. The siphon valve is intended to be installed above ground ( where backflow prevention is required) for an underground irrigation system. It is designed for above ground installation, which will prevent back flow when properly installed 6" above the highest sprinkler head. It works well but not abundantly clear that the valves must be higher than the highest sprinkler head on the zone, otherwise all the water in that zone backflows through the valve into your pit or wherever you mount the valve.
Operation of the flow control is smooth, easy and reproducible making fine tuning sprinkler coverage a joy rather than an ordeal. It allows you to set the amount of output water you desire. It can be used as an on-off handle. These products have been chosen and installed worldwide in the largest and most prestigious projects for residential, commercial, agricultural and golf course irrigation.
