Hunter Valve Solenoid Replacement

The Hunter Valve Solenoid Replacement 810?1078 is a direct replacement coil for Hunter irrigation valves. Designed for reliability and long service life, this solenoid ensures proper on/off switching of water flow in Hunter® valves. Ideal for use in maintenance, repair, or retrofit of Hunter irrigation systems.

Technical Specifications

Below are typical solenoid parameters in Hunter’s product line. If 810?1078 follows one of these models, these specs apply; otherwise check your existing solenoid or manual against these.

Operating Voltage
For AC model (e.g. Hunter’s 606800): minimum ~19 VAC, up to 28 VAC.
For DC / latching model (e.g. Hunter 458200): ~6?9 VDC.
Current Draw
At 24 VAC: Inrush ~?350?370 mA
Holding ~?190?210 mA (depending on 50 or 60 Hz).
Coil Resistance
Typical for DC model: ~?4.8 ?
Maximum Operating Pressure
AC model: up to ~?15.17 bar (??1517?kPa).
DC model: up to about 13.79 bar (??1379?kPa).
Wire Leads
Approx. 45 cm (0.8 mm²) UL approved wire leads. Colour coding: black common wire; red station wire (for DC models).

Compatibility & Installation
This solenoid is compatible with most Hunter irrigation valves that accept Hunter standard solenoid coils.

If replacing an AC coil with a DC?latching coil (or vice versa), ensure the controller is compatible. For example, Hunter NODE, NODE?BT, or XC Hybrid controllers use DC?latching coils.

The valve needs to be wired correctly: common wire to black lead, station wire to red lead (for DC models). Polarity matters.

Always shut off water supply and power before beginning replacement.

The captive plunger should be handled with care during removal and installation.
