Tips For Replacing A Sprinkler Valve Solenoid | Hunter Sprinkler Valve Solenoid ( Example )

Replacing a Hunter sprinkler valve solenoid on your irrigation system can be easy with these tips, but can be hard if not done correctly. Dealing with a faulty solenoid can be frustrating, but with these tips, you'll be back to a smoothly running system in no time.
In this video, we emphasize the importance of turning off the water before replacing the solenoid to prevent pressurized water from shooting out of the valve where the solenoid is located. When there is too much water where the solenoid is, it makes it extremely hard to thread a new solenoid back in, that’s why it is better to shut the water off before you start replacing the sprinkler valve solenoid. Whether you opt to shut off the water at the backflow device, the master valve, or use the flow control feature if available, ensuring no water pressure is crucial for a hassle-free sprinkler solenoid replacement. This will keep you from cross threading the solenoid and messing up the threads and the gasket cause the it to leak. Don't let a faulty solenoid disrupt your irrigation system any longer. Follow these hunter sprinkler valve solenoid replacement tips and it will make the job done right and easy.

I try and install ball valves before manifolds/solenoids. Makes it a lot easier to make repairs. Keep it up Kelly!

[@AmericanIrrigator]

Yes it does. Good tip. Thanks.

[@ArcherNews-ch7yn]

Thanks for the honesty. Your point is well taken. 😅

[@AmericanIrrigator]

lol. You’re welcome

[@cisco9027]

Where is the rest of the valve? Is that much dirt normal covering the valve?.

[@edwardinanaheim6732]

You didn't mention if it matters if the wires are crossed

[@djk2063]

The next video will show you how dirt gets into the solenoid valve body, because you didn't remove any of the dirt that has accumulated around sprinkler valve before you begin to service the valve.

My zone won’t turn off!! Do I replace the entire valve or just the solenoid?

[@AmericanIrrigator]

Usually if the valve doesn’t shut off there is debris in the valve. First try taking the valve apart and flushing it out. If it still doesn’t shut off, you may need to rebuild the valve.
