  • Publication number: 20120047723
    Abstract: The Actuator Tool is designed to allow easy removal of saucer-shaped irrigation flow control devices known by many names such as irrigation actuators, automatic adapters, automators, etc., that are part of an irrigation valve assembly. The Actuator Tool has a unique design allowing it to circumvent the saucer-shaped diaphragm housing to allow easy access to said irrigation actuators' said grip point when the irrigation valve assembly is obstructed by a tree, wall, irrigation valve box, etc., or in cases where the irrigation valve assemblies have been installed too close together to allow access to the said actuators' hexagonal square or similar shaped said grip point. The preferred configuration is “U” shaped with a jaw on either end, two holes to accommodate a ½? drive breaker bar as a handle on both ends, and two flat areas to allow the use of a pipe wrench as a handle.
