hi. does the manual valve close by itself when not hooked up to a hose? or do you need to purchase a cap of some kind?

It has a valve inside the device and only opens when you press the manual button.

It has a lever that opens and closes the valve. You can see the lever on the left side of the photo. No cap is needed.

The through valve is manual, So you have to open it and you have to close it. However when you close it, than it is closed, nothing comes out. So you need not to buy any cap. This unit is great for low pressure watering. I was disappointed when I hooked this up to my lawn sprinkler and the pressure dropped significantly as this unit is a little bit of a throttle, or bottle neck. But it would be perfect and simple for low pressure garden watering. The timer is super simple and easy.

The manual outlet operates seperately from the timed outlet. A lever turns it off & on. No cap needed. It is like a seperate faucet but easier to operate.

No the manual connection on the left is controlled by a lever. The black strip on the left side of the timer is a lever. You pull it towards you to turn on the water flow from the left connector. To turn it off you push it down until it is flush with the body as show in the picture. You can control the flow of water by pulling the lever up part way.

No, the black piece on the left side pulls down to release water into the hose; then you move upward to shut off. So, I believe if you do not have a hose hooked up to the manual side you leave it up. The right side is control by the dial which can be shut off. I have a hose hooked up on the right side that goes to 3 underground sprinklers and is automatically set by how I set the dial. The other side I have a hose set up that is controlled by manual up or down thing on the left that I use for mostly garden activity.

If you hold it upside down and push the valve release in while your screwing it on it releases the air that pushes the water out after you close it. Then you don't get the leakage. Other than that, I just run clean up the leaks. Hope this helps.

I didn't get a video or manual either. I called the company and they quickly sent me the manual, however the video wasn't available. Plug in fill using water bottle. Make sure you use distilled water. turn on using both buttons and wait till lights turn on for use. makes sure you tighten cap before turning on but not too tight. to fill water open large cap. Green light indicates it is ready to use and yellow light means it needs more water. If it ever turns off on you during use check that hoses are properly connected it happened to me once. during use if you feel there isn't enough pressure just give it a few minutes to build more pressure, you will see the needles move. The small dial to the left of the large cap for filling water is used to regulate how much steam is being used. adjust to your needs.

No, that is not the correct operation of the valve. The valve is normally closed when there is no power input to the valve and it opens when power is supplied to the valve.

exactly the quick disconnect (k) with the pressure relief valve (k1) does not turn in mine either and something is not right! good luck. thanks for asking.

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

No, we've never had to shut our main valve off on this model, no leaking so far. It's worked perfect for us for over 2 years; we plan on purchasing another one for the other bathroom.

No. You must depress and hold down the lever on the top of the spigot to open the valve and then release the lever to close the valve. You can also lift the lever to an upright position which will keep the valve open without having to keep holding it.

Turn off the valve before it then relieve pressure after it. Then just twist off.

You'll need another piece to have a shutoff valve. This alone is just a straight flow. I found something decent at Lowes to accompany it, but the shower action on this piece is phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Doesn't come with manual release valves. That is the only gripe I have otherwise.

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.

Turn off the water supply. The black end of the connector is hand screwed onto the flexible hose. Do not use pliers or wrench. That was the reason in my case that I had to replace this unit in the first place. The green end of the connection is a simple slide connection, Slide the green end down and then seat the connector over the faucet feed and release. I have found that it does not leak.

I don't think that it can be used without the hose because the tire pressure fitting is swaged onto the hose. If you unscrew the hose, the ball/check valve is going to fall out.The unit that I bought fell apart the first time I used it. I don't recommend this product at all.

well, there is a valve if you would like to release the pressure quicker, that is not automatic, you have do that manual, its not hard, but you do have to careful when you do release that valve. So, far pretty satisfied with the product.

I would if I still had it. I read the reviews and order it. The review I read said the water shut off valve worked very good and didnt leak when closed. Sold me right there. 30 bucks later or whatever it cost it came in and had no shut off valve at ALL. AMAZON or whoever needs to post reviews to THAT item . Not THEIR items.

if you leave the valve open it will leak, close it every time you used it, now if that does not solve the problem you can call the factory's customer services and they can help you, they helped me when had questions.
