Hi All,

I need to replace 3 electronic control valves that are now under ground about 6 inches with above ground valves. This is in the Salt Lake City area where the temperature gets easily down to 10 deg. Does anyone know of above ground valves which will work with a shut off valve ahead of it and deep in ground that provides draining for winterizing? The water would need to flow back through the control valve when the water is turned off ahead of it with the shut down valve. Would a person add another shut off valve just ahead of the control valves?

Thanks in advance, justdoit007
