Hunter DC Latching Solenoid Assembly
Product Overview
System shutdowns during peak summer heat or failed inspections due to non-functioning battery controllers can derail your schedule and damage your client relationships. When a solenoid fails to engage under the pressure of mid-season demand, the resulting turf stress and dry spots lead to costly callbacks and potential plant loss. With current supply chain fluctuations and high seasonal call volumes, waiting until a valve fails to source a replacement risks significant downtime. Planning ahead by stocking the Hunter DC Latching Solenoid ensures your crews can resolve issues immediately, keeping projects on track and clients satisfied during the busiest months of the year.
The Hunter DC Latching Solenoid provides a reliable technical advantage by allowing Hunter valves to operate with battery-powered controllers in locations where AC power is unavailable or too expensive to install. This assembly is engineered with encapsulated low-power consumption technology that maximizes battery life, reducing the frequency of maintenance visits and long-term labor costs. By standardizing on this professional-grade component, you gain a competitive edge by offering robust irrigation solutions in remote or complex landscapes where traditional wiring is not feasible.

Installation Notes
Ensure that the controller is in the off position before replacing the solenoid to prevent accidental discharge. Use the included waterproof wire connectors to secure the black and red leads to the controller output, maintaining proper polarity for correct latching function. It is recommended to hand-tighten the solenoid into the valve bonnet until snug to ensure a leak-proof seal without damaging the threads, following all local codes and manufacturer specifications for subsurface electrical connections.
