Hunter prefers the use of Hunter valves with a Hunter DC-latching solenoids (P/N #458200) for best performance, however, existing irrigation systems can be retrofitted with another manufacturer’s valve and solenoid.
Hunter has tested and published a retrofittable compatibility chart that operates with the Hunter SVC, WVC, NODE, and XC Hybrid battery-powered controllers requiring 9-11 Volts DC to function. (Some listed DC-latching solenoids below require a reduced system pressure, below 150 PSI (10.34 bars/1034.25 kPa), to ensure proper operation)
