Hunter PGV 1" Sprinkler Valve,

I installed 18 of these valves in 2015 to service a 2-acre property with extensive drip systems. They have performed exceptionally well. Thankfully, I had the foresight to install the valves using a manifold system. There are several on the market; I chose Action Machine brand. I also use a two-wire automotive waterproof connector for each solenoid, which makes replacement a breeze. With all of this, I can swap out any valve in about two to three minutes and keep the system working. When using these types of valves on drip systems, the solenoids take a beating. They're often energized for 6 hours or more. Along with the low waterflow of a drip system, the solenoids will succumb to heat after a few years. And the valve diaphram eventually will break down, especially in our Arizona heat. So, being able to swap out a valve quickly is a blessing. I can then rebuild the old valve (if economical to do so), or recycle it. Overall, great quality, reliability, and easy to maintain.

They work good did have to buy more fittings

DIYers need two in their tool box

When turning on lawn irrigation system, one zone would not function. After some quick on line searching isolated the problem to a malfunctioning solenoid on the sprinkler valve for this zone. This part fit was exactly like the original. The big advantage to using this for the repair is that I did not have to remove the old assembly completely which meant I didn't have to dig up the pipes connecting to the valve assembly. Simply removed the top part (which has the solenoid) and then put in the top part of the new assembly (with the valve and solenoid). The installation was simple and straightforward. Checked after install and no leaking. The price of this entire assembly with the valve and solenoid was less than some other places for either the valve or solenoid by themselves. Will purchase another as a spare in case another zone fails with same problem.

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

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!

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.

Works as it should!

Good quality and find it much cheaper in Amazon.

Funktioniert geräuschlos ! Robuster eindruck

It was a direct replacement for my failed sprinkler SOV. Took around 10 min to replace.

Buena calidad, fácil de armar, usar y programar.

I added some A/C power near my former D/C powered section of my garden. The D/C solenoid only open the valves with A/C powering. Took me a moment or two to figure it out ( I didn't see a difference with the rest of my A/C units). Popped the new solenoids in and we are rocking!! The valves go into my spare parts.
