Term Definition
Orchard Valve

An outlet valve fitted to the interior of a vertical pipe (sometimes known as a riser). The orchard valve features an opening the same size as the diameter of the pipe and an adjustable cover to enable the flow of water through the pipe to be varied. Orchard valves are similar to alfalfa valves, but deliver lower flow capacity.
