Even better question, since the switches used to electronically supervise sprinkler control valves have to operate within two turns of the fully open position, does electronically monitoring a normally closed valve do anything for yo, because it only operates just before the valve is fully open?

IF there is a control valve in the normally closed position for Full Forward Flow Testing, is it REQUIRED to be monitored?
