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.

Works as it should!

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 are great valves and almost impossible to find Hunter valves at my local Home Depot or Lowe’s. Amazon is my go to for these products!

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!

I didn’t replace entire valve because I didn’t want to cut the pipe, so I just unscrewed 4 screws and replaced the actual valve pieces, then splice the wires. Total install time about 15 minutes.

Incredibly affordable and good quality. No leaks and preserved pressure well.

Perfect. Just what we needed!

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.
