The Galcon High Flow LCD Timer (1" Valve) provides commercial-grade watering capacity combined with the steadfast reliability of standalone LCD programming. Built specifically for hard-plumbed, heavy-duty applications, this water-resistant timer integrates a 1" hydraulic latching solenoid valve capable of managing immense flow rates up to 32 gallons per minute (GPM). It is an excellent choice for automating extensive drip irrigation layouts, large sprinkler zones, and robust multi-bed systems. Because this unit is engineered to be hard-plumbed directly into your mainline using 1" PVC fittings or poly adapters, it does not include garden hose thread adapters.
Programming is simplified by the removable LCD controller—simply pop the faceplate off the heavy-duty housing, program your schedules comfortably in your hands, and snap it securely back onto the valve. Built to endure harsh outdoor conditions, it features a low battery indicator and a manual override function so you can run the system at any time without disrupting your schedule. We highly recommend installing a water filter upstream to protect the internal diaphragm and ensure seasons of flawless operation.

Follow these steps to safely install and program your 1" high-flow timer.
Step 1: Install the Battery
Detach the removable LCD controller faceplate from the main valve body. Insert one fresh 9-volt industrial alkaline battery into the rear compartment.
Step 2: Program Your Schedule
While the faceplate is detached, utilize the push buttons to comfortably set your current time, desired watering start times, run durations, and day frequency.
Step 3: Connect to the Mainline
Using thread seal tape, wrap the threads of your 1" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) PVC or poly adapters. Thread them into the timer's inlet and outlet, ensuring the entire assembly is plumbed in a strictly horizontal position for proper internal valve operation.
Step 4: Reattach and Test
Snap the programmed LCD controller securely back onto the valve body. Use the manual override button to perform a system test, verifying that water flows correctly without leaks at the threaded connections.
Does this timer include garden hose adapters?
No, this 1" model features female pipe thread (FPT) connections and does not include hose adapters. You will need 1" MPT fittings to connect it to your PVC or poly mainline.
If you are looking for a high-flow timer that connects directly to a standard garden hose spigot right out of the box, consider the 3/4" version of the Galcon High Flow Timer (which includes those adapters).
What is the maximum flow rate for this 1" timer?
This high-capacity timer can handle an impressive flow rate of up to 32 gallons per minute (GPM), making it ideal for running extensive drip irrigation networks or large sprinkler zones.
Because of this massive flow potential, it is perfectly suited for light commercial applications, large estates, and multi-bed nursery setups.
Can I install this valve vertically?
No, this timer must be installed in a strictly horizontal position for the internal hydraulic latching solenoid to operate correctly and prevent leaks.
Installing the valve body vertically can cause the internal mechanisms to fail over time, voiding the warranty and leading to improper water shut-off.
Does this model connect to my smartphone?
No, this is the standalone LCD model that is programmed manually using the buttons on the removable faceplate. For wireless smartphone control, consider the Bluetooth version of this 1" timer.
Direct LCD programming is highly reliable and perfect for users who prefer localized, straightforward control without needing an app.
