What specific information about valves should be documented?

1. Color and manufacturer

2. Brand and Model #

3. Type of materials used

4. Year of installation

The correct answer is: Brand and Model #

Documenting the brand and model number of valves is essential for several reasons. It allows for easier identification and replacement if necessary, facilitates compatibility checks with existing systems, and assists in the procurement of spare parts. Knowing the specific brand and model helps irrigation professionals understand the features and specifications of the valves being used, including their performance ratings and maintenance requirements. While other factors such as color, manufacturer, type of materials, and year of installation are relevant, they do not provide the same level of critical detail for operational and maintenance purposes. For instance, while knowing the year of installation can be helpful for assessing wear and tear, the brand and model number directly relate to functionality and support, ensuring that any maintenance or repairs can be carried out effectively.
