Brand: K-Rain SKU: 2214
Product Overview
The K-Rain 2214 is a short-duration mechanical single-station controller designed for misting, propagation, nursery, cooling, and other applications that require brief recurring 24 VAC cycles. It accepts 110 VAC input and uses a built-in transformer to provide a verified 24 VAC, 20 VA output for one compatible low-voltage irrigation device.
Unlike a standard day-long irrigation timer, the 2214 uses a 10-minute programming dial with short timing periods in multiples of approximately 1.5, 3, and 6 seconds. Multiple start settings let a compatible valve or relay operate in repeated brief intervals within the programmed cycle. This makes the controller useful where conventional multi-minute watering would be excessive.
The output rating is 20 VA. Confirm the connected solenoid, relay, or other approved 24 VAC load remains within the transformer's operating and inrush capacity. The 2214 does not directly switch a line-voltage pump motor and should not be substituted for a 2100 Series 110V or 220V pump controller. The product title may contain older catalog wording, but the verified customer-facing specification is 24 VAC, 20 VA. Installation should follow the current K-Rain wiring instructions, with power disconnected and all electrical work completed by a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the verified transformer rating?
The K-Rain 2214 provides 24 VAC output rated at 20 VA.
Is this suitable for normal lawn watering?
It is primarily designed for short-duration cycles. A standard irrigation controller is generally better suited to ordinary multi-minute lawn watering.
Does it include the valve or misting equipment?
No. This listing is for the controller; compatible valves, relays, wiring, and misting components are separate.
Why Buy This K-Rain 2214 from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply identifies the 2214 as the short-duration 20 VA transformer model, helping nursery and propagation customers avoid confusing it with standard daily timers or line-voltage pump controllers.
