Match the threads and control voltage first
An inline valve is a system component, so pipe size and controller output matter more than the product's appearance. The flow-control version adds an adjustment at the valve. Leave service space above the lid and use system-appropriate backflow protection rather than treating the valve as that protection.
Living with it in the garden
Check connections for leaks after installation.
Keep serviceable seals and fittings accessible.
