For example this SMC valve is legal:

This MAC valve is also legal:

I'm sure there are MANY, MANY others that meet the specs required by the manual as well.

The distinction is fine, but important for those looking for additional parts.
Ya sorry every one It was a crazy thought that poped into my head thanx for all the good Ideas that are legal. We werent sure what was out there and couldn't seem to find what we were looking for thats what brought us to post the question here. Thanx to those who gave me a kick in the pants for even thinking about useing the Sprinkler system valve and not even trying to help.
