Product Description
This hard working, heavy-duty valve offers the best features of Hunters top-of-the-line valves. Built with enough durability to handle the rigors of most residential and light commercial sites, the PGV is available in an array of configurations. For smaller landscape applications, the PGV is available in four 1" body configurations: angle, globe, male x male, or male x barb design. In turn, each model is available in either a flow control or non-flow control version. For larger landscape applications, the PGV comes in both 1-1/2" and 2" globe/angle models (with flow control). All models feature durable high-grade construction and a rugged diaphragm with support to prevent stress failure.
Effortless Automation for Efficient IrrigationHarness fully automated water control with the Hunter SoloNide Valve, which streamlines irrigation processes and conserves resources through precise electric solenoid switching. Its sturdy plastic construction and tight sealing rubber diaphragm enable long-lasting performance, making it ideal for both agricultural and landscape applications. With flexible installation options and extensive flow and pressure capability, this valve easily fits complex irrigation designs.
Adaptable Design for Varied InstallationEnjoy versatility with in-line or angle mounting to accommodate site-specific requirements. The 1-inch female NPT threaded inlet and outlet facilitate straightforward integration into new or existing irrigation systems. Its compact, high-grade plastic body resists outdoor conditions, ensuring durability wherever it is deployed.
FAQs of Hunter SoloNide Valve:
Q: How does the Hunter SoloNide Valve operate in an irrigation system?
A: The valve uses a 24V AC electric solenoid switch, enabling automated opening and closing for precise water control based on your irrigation schedule. This motorized process ensures efficiency and consistency across fields or landscapes.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this electric solenoid valve in irrigation?
A: The main advantages include energy-efficient automation, reliable rubber diaphragm sealing to prevent leaks, and compatibility with varied operating pressures and flow rates. It reduces manual labor while optimizing water usage and coverage.
Q: When should I choose in-line versus angle configuration for mounting?
A: Select the in-line mount when you need straight pipe runs and angle mounting for tight or corner installations. Both configurations are compatible with the valve and ensure functional integration based on your irrigation layout.
Q: Where can the Hunter SoloNide Valve be used most effectively?
A: This valve is best suited for outdoor environments such as agricultural fields, gardens, or landscape irrigation areas. Its robust plastic construction withstands exposure to the elements and water pressure fluctuations.
Q: What is the process for installing the valve in my irrigation system?
A: Start by selecting the appropriate mounting (in-line or angle) and connecting the 1-inch NPT female threaded inlet and outlet to your pipework. Wire the solenoid coil to a compatible 24V AC controller for electric operation, checking sealing and alignment before enabling water flow.
Q: How does the valve ensure reliable sealing and minimize leaks?
A: It incorporates a high-quality rubber diaphragm that provides a secure seal during operation, helping prevent water leaks even at high pressures and extended usage.
