Hunter Solenoid Valves: The Reliable Heart of Your Automatic Irrigation System

Every gardener knows that for a beautiful landscape—be it a vegetable garden, an orchard, or a pristine lawn—plants must be consistently supplied with the right amount of water. While every plant needs regular hydration, it can be extremely difficult to determine the exact volume required, or quite simply, there isn't enough time in a busy schedule to manage it manually. This is why automatic irrigation systems were invented: to handle the work for you, without your constant presence.

The component responsible for regulating water flow according to set parameters is the irrigation solenoid valve. Functioning like an intelligent faucet, the valve opens at the programmed time to allow water flow and closes securely once the cycle is complete. At the Agras online store, we offer Hunter solenoid valves, world-renowned for their superior quality and long-term reliability.

Why Choose Hunter Irrigation Valves?

Hunter valves are engineered for versatility, performing flawlessly in systems built entirely with Hunter components as well as those using third-party equipment.

Key Features and Technical Advantages:

• High-Pressure Durability: Most Hunter valves are constructed from heavy-duty, glass-filled nylon. This allows them to operate stably under loads of up to 10 bar (150 PSI).

• Voltage Flexibility: When installing your system, it is crucial to match the solenoid to your controller’s output. Hunter produces valves for both 24VAC (the industry standard for wired controllers) and 9VDC latching solenoids (for battery-operated, standalone controllers).

• Wide Range of Sizes: The Hunter brand offers valves with various inlet/outlet diameters (from 1" to 3"), enabling the assembly of irrigation systems for any scale—from a small backyard to a massive commercial park.

• Specialized Brass Line: For high-demand systems with extreme pressure requirements, Hunter provides a dedicated line of brass solenoid valves. These are designed for maximum wear resistance and high-volume water flow.

Drip Irrigation Control Kits

For micro-irrigation, the Hunter Drip Control Kit is an essential all-in-one solution. Installed before the drip tubing, it combines three functions:

• Automation: Via the solenoid valve.

• Filtration: Protecting emitters from clogging by filtering out fine particles.

• Pressure Regulation: Dropping the pressure to a safe level (e.g., 25 or 40 PSI) to prevent tube bursts and uneven watering.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Solenoid valves are typically installed underground within protective valve boxes for each zone. This keeps the landscape aesthetically pleasing while providing easy access for technical inspections.

Expert Advice: For systems involving large volumes of water, it is highly recommended to use 24-volt solenoids and install a pressure regulator (such as the Hunter Accu-Sync/AS-ADJ). This ensures stable sprinkler performance and significantly extends the lifespan of the entire hydraulic system.

As a reminder: upon completion of the installation, always keep a detailed as-built map of the actual underground pipe and valve layout. Physical locations often differ from the initial design, and this map is vital for preventing damage during future landscaping or construction.
