Orbit 27241 Mechanical Water Timer 120 Min Hose End

Product Description

The ORBIT IRRIGATION PRODUCTS INC 27241 is a mechanical hose-end water timer designed for residential garden and lawn irrigation. It connects directly to a standard hose bib or hose fitting and uses a simple dial mechanism to set continuous watering durations up to 120 minutes, then shuts off automatically without any batteries or electrical connections required. The rubber overmold dial provides a firm grip for easy adjustment in wet conditions, and the top-view settings layout lets the user read the selected time at a glance. A manual on/off function gives immediate control over water flow when needed. This timer is installed by homeowners, landscapers, and irrigation technicians as a low-cost, no-programming alternative to electronic timer systems.

The 27241 is suited for residential outdoor watering applications including garden beds, lawn sprinklers, soaker hoses, and drip irrigation setups connected to a standard outdoor hose bib. It is recommended for use with cold water supply lines only and is not rated for hot water service. The swivel nut inlet simplifies connection to standard hose threads without requiring tools. Water pressure must fall within the 15 to 80 psi operating range for proper function and reliable shutoff.
