Actually, the plastic j-box has been working out pretty well. I just transferred all of the components into it. I haven't gotten around to replacing the connectors on the solenoid valve yet, female spade connectors work pretty well. I also found why the system went crazy on me and quit - bad factory solder joint in the power connector. All back up and working fine. The local Sitech rep told me the same thing. Tried to shame me into a new GPS system. Told him to pound sand.
