This hard working, heavy-duty valve offers the best features of Hunter’s 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 25 mm is available in either a flow control or non-flow control version. For larger landscape applications, the PGV comes in 40 mm and 50 mm models (with flow control). All models feature durable high-grade construction and a rugged diaphragm with support to prevent stress failure.

A solenoid valve is the automatic tap that controls that flow of water to an irrigation zone. Solenoid Valves are automatically operated by an irrigation controller which is programmed to tell the solenoid valve when to open & close.
The number of solenoid valves you use depends on the size of your garden & the flow output of your water supply. The number of litres per minute that are available will determine the number of sprinklers or drippers you can operate at any one time. Once your garden is divided up into each section using that information, you’ll need one solenoid valve to operate each one individually.
A master valve is installed upstream of the solenoid valves being used to control each irrigation zone. They’re not mandatory, but they are a good idea as installing one increases the life-span of each valve by protect the valves downstream from the constant pressure that would otherwise be applied. The way it works is, every time a zone is programmed to come on the master valve also switches on, providing the flow, but when all the zones are off, the master valve closes, holding back the flow & pressure of the water supply. Simply, it’s kind of like an irrigation insurance policy.
Being exposed to the weather, water damage will occur any where water can get in. Electrical tape isn’t quite water tight & over time water will creep into the circuit & create havoc & void all warranties. For this reason you should always use waterproof cable joins like heat shrinks.
Nearly all of the time, a solenoid valve staying open is caused by debris caught in the diaphragm. Even the finest debris can cause the valve not to seal shut, causing a constant leak. Other cause can be: Not enough flow because the irrigation zone is too small or, not enough pressure, the valve needs the pressure to seal shut.
Unless your tank located is upwards of 20m above your valves, gravity feed will not provide enough pressure for your valves to reliably open & close. It is not recommended.
Did not work with my hunter controller, purchased generic ones at local hardware, they worked fine they had no + or - wire.
Hi Lindsay, I'm sorry this looks as though you may have purchased the 12v DC Latching model (compatible with battery controllers), when the 12v AC (compatible with plug-in controllers) is what was needed. If you like to arrange for then to be shipped back for a refund, please call or email & we can certainly assist.
Sunshower provide excellent service at a good price for these valves.
These valves are excellent. Used them for 2 years on a community garden and performed faultless when controlled by a Torro Controller.
Well designed for maintenance in the field, with bolt fixed with retainers to prevent accidental loss. The photo shows one of two cabinets. We have 7 solenoids in total. The 2 controller have 8 stations and 3 start times on each, so the valves can be operated one at a time with full mains water pressure.
