Long run to valve Actuators

How far can i run the low voltage feeds to valve actuators?
Do I need to up size my wire? How much for 150' run?
Can more than one valve work off of one feed?

Up to 100 feet, you can just add on some 22awg wire. 100-300 feet, you will need to use 18awg wire. When up sizing, add it on the panel side to reduce voltage drop.

More than one actuator on a feed will cause premature failure and void the warranty.
