ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic-metering, multiple-valve device for use primarily in a sprinkler system associated with large parcels of land. The valve device comprises a valve housing having an inlet and a plurality of outlets, wherein each outlet is controlled by corresponding valve means disposed within said housing and each valve means communicates with a flow channel having a drive means operably disposed therein and in direct alignment with the inlet of the housing. There is a timer-sequential metering means having a gear train interconnected between a sequencer drum and the drive means for controlled rotation of the drum, the drum being provided with a plurality of pins positioned and mounted to the surface thereof which cooperate with individual valve-actuating mechanisms, to selectively open and close the individual valve means as the drum rotates. By selecting the number and location of the pins, the sequence and time of operation of each valve may be readily selected.
