[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1758362, member: 18945"] Did a little digging.. Wires are indeed running with the piping, to the master valve anyway. The popup spray heads are 8" long, usually sitting on a short riser, (4-6" long) so the lateral lines to the zone sprinklers I've seen so far are about 1 foot deep. 2" of thatch, 6-8" of black soil and kaliche from there down. The spray head that sits in zone 1, right (on the diagram) above where the master valve is, I dug down to it today. Was hoping there was a solenoid between it and the master which would mean that head was the first in zone 1. Evidently, it's not since there is no control solenoid in the short space between the head and the master valve. Just downsteam of master, these are the pipes and wires. The smaller pipe feeds the nearby sprayhead. [ATTACH type="full"]19585[/ATTACH] The master, which is about a foot upstream from the above picture. Already was cautious about snakes down in those plastic boxes so That toad scared the livin crap out of me when he hopped up. (It is darker down in there than what this photo indicates) [ATTACH type="full"]19586[/ATTACH] This whole area below isn't 6 sq ft. [ATTACH type="full"]19584[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
