Hunter AC Solenoid Assembly 24 VAC
Product Overview
A faulty solenoid is the quickest way to paralyze an entire irrigation zone, leading to costly system shutdowns and immediate turf stress during peak summer heat. When a valve fails to open or stay closed due to a worn coil, you risk catastrophic water waste, code violations, or even localized flooding. As the late spring demand surges, supply shortages and back-orders on critical components can stall your repair schedule for weeks. Securing these Hunter AC Solenoid units now ensures you can provide instant relief to your clients, keeping their systems operational and your project deadlines on track during the busiest months of the year.
The Hunter 24 VAC Solenoid Assembly is engineered for superior longevity compared to generic aftermarket alternatives. By utilizing a captured plunger design, this assembly prevents the loss of internal parts during field service, significantly reducing labor time and frustration for your crews. Investing in genuine Hunter components eliminates the compatibility issues and frequent callbacks associated with lower-grade options. Maintaining a well-stocked inventory of these solenoids gives you a distinct competitive edge, allowing you to complete service calls in a single visit while ensuring long-term system reliability for your clients.

Installation Notes
Before replacement, ensure the controller is powered down and the water supply is shut off to prevent accidental discharge. Thread the solenoid clockwise into the valve bonnet until hand-tight, taking care not to cross-thread the assembly or over-tighten, which can damage the O-ring seal. Always use waterproof wire connectors for the two 18 AWG leads to comply with local electrical codes and prevent corrosion in submersed environments.
