4. STORAGE
To put into storage / Winter storage:
GARDENA Irrigation Valves are intended for outdoor
use and are only frost-proof to a limited extent. The
only way to protect your Irrigation Valves completely
is to remove the valves before the frosty season
begins. Alternatively, you can drain the pipeline sys-
tem upstream and downstream of the Irrigation
Valve.
Emptying the pipeline system UPSTREAM of
the valve [ Fig. O1 ]:
1. Turn off the tap and disconnect the hose
between the tap and the GARDENA Water
Connection Point Art. 8262 / 2722 / 2795.
This allows the air to flow freely, thereby draining
the supply line via the integrated Drain Valve
Art. 2760.
Requirement: The Drainage Valve must be
installed deeper than or at the same depth as
the Irrigation Valve.
2. If the watering system is directly connected to the
water tap, turn off the water supply and open the
venting tap.
