Valve

A valve is an interactable object that can be constructed by converting raw material into clay. It is a hexagonal valve handle that Pikmin can turn to disable sprinklers. Indications of where they can be built consist of a misshapen pile of clay.

In Pikmin V
Valves appear in Pikmin V as already-completed objects. Instead of a sprinkler, they connect to one of a fire burner, exposed wire, gas pipe, or leaky pipe, and can be turned with 10 Pikmin to disable the obstacle. As none of these obstacles can be destroyed, this is the only means of removing them; they are usually found beyond where the obstacle is located and require the appropriate Pikmin type to deactivate them.
