Hunter PGV 1" Electric Sprinkler Valve – 24V AC, Flow Control, Female Threaded, Heavy-Duty Diaphragm, 150 PSI, Inline Irrigation Valve for Lawn, Garden, or Commercial Use

I was extremely pleased to find the exact product I needed for my sprinkler issue. Item matched my system and worked perfectly!

Son de excelente calidad

I ordered two units and onlly needed the top solenoid and diapram assembly. It easily fit onto my existing valves from 2016 without having to change the in-ground piping. The screws are stainless steel and the wire was very long. Nicely done!

HACK - I don’t bother changing the base just transfer the solenoid from the new by unscrewing the 4 screws and transferring the solenoid, mount, and filter/gasket to the existing base.TEST - Before changing a valve, purchase a water pressure gauge to determine delivery pressure. These little solenoids can take quite a bit of inlet pressure, but like all mechanical solenoids they use springs which weaken over years. It wasn’t until my second zone failed to shut off that I measured the pressure -130 lbs (teed directly from the county feed before my home regulator). They couldn’t handle the pressure and would spontaneously open or fail to close. If you see a LOT of misting at the heads, that can be a sign of excess pressure. Misting allows water to be misdirected by wind and potentially lost.FIX - I added a regulator and back-siphon valve and the system works fine now. I figured my regulator will save on water since the 70psi spray patterns are covering better (as designed).

Buy this part enabled me to fix my irrigation system myself, saving me tons of money on labor.

June 26, 2023. I have a 15 year old Hunter RSV 1 inch valve that is 16 years old. It stopped working and wasn't allowing water to pass through. After viewing several videos, I decided to repair it myself. First, delivery was expedient. Second, the product worked fine and saved me a lot of money. Thirdly, the solenoid is included! When I got the new Hunter PGV 1 " valve, I got very familiar with it. I took it apart and photographed each step. Once I was familiar with it, I started to repair the old one. I turned off the main sprinkler water valve. I removed the old solenoid. I marked all the wires. Then I removed the top part of the old valve. I removed the old diaphragm assembly. Note: I did not want to remove the entire valve; it meant more work. Here's an important step: Get a thin wire, like a sprinkler marker. Use the wire to carefully clean the hole in the bottom part of the old valve. Install new diaphragm assembly. Install the top of the new valve (called the bonnet). Use the old screws; the new ones are different. Screw in the solenoid. Cut wires to your preference. Twist wires, screw on connectors, and insert connectors into waterproof dioelectric greased tubes. I used the orbit ones. You're finished. There are plenty of youtube videos to help out. I am 78 years old with sciatica, and I completed the job in 102F Texas heat. Surely, you will do it as well.

These Hunter valves are great products and they're at affordable price, good quality, ease of install and no leakage

The items were not what I needed for my job, thank you.
