A 1-inch irrigation solenoid valve with built-in flow control and female threading, activated by a standard 24V AC solenoid compatible with any controller (not just Hunter).
Real-world use cases
- At home: Replacing a failed 1-inch valve in a large residential system, or building a new zone with that pipe diameter for more flow.
- In a business or workshop: An installer working on commercial or large residential irrigation systems, where 1-inch diameter is more common than 3/4.
How to avoid buying the wrong one
- 1-inch threading, larger than this catalog's 3/4-inch valves — not interchangeable without an adapter.
- Built-in flow control — lets you adjust outlet pressure without adding a separate regulating valve.
- Standard 24V AC solenoid — works with any irrigation controller, not just Hunter-brand ones.
The investment takeaway
If your system already uses 3/4-inch pipe, this catalog's Orbit or Rain Bird valves are the correct, cheaper pick. This Hunter makes sense specifically when your install is 1 inch or you need more flow per zone.
