15. A method of making an irrigation control device comprising:
-
holding a solenoid assembly with a coil near to control circuitry for controlling an electromagnetic flux at the coil; electrically connecting the coil to the control circuitry; placing the solenoid assembly and control circuitry into a housing; securing the solenoid assembly to the housing so that the solenoid assembly is actuated to reciprocate a valve member through an aperture in the housing to selectively engage a valve seat; and fixing the control circuitry and coil within the housing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
