Which item is NOT listed as a valve accessory?

• A. Locators
• B. Rain Sensor
• C. ID Tags
• D. Effluent designator

Answer: (B)

Valve accessories are items that attach to or accompany valves to help with locating, identifying, or controlling at the valve site. A locator helps you find buried valve boxes during maintenance. ID tags stay with valves to identify them on plans and in the field. An effluent designator is used to label lines or valves that carry effluent or reclaimed water, aiding correct identification and operation. A rain sensor, however, is part of the controller’s weather-based irrigation management system and is not attached to or used with the valve itself. It senses rainfall and can pause irrigation across zones, which is why it isn’t considered a valve accessory.
