Product Overview
The Hunter 606800 is a standard 24 VAC replacement solenoid for compatible Hunter irrigation valves. It converts the controller’s electrical station signal into valve operation, allowing the valve to open during watering and close when power is removed.
The coil is encapsulated in a heavy-duty plastic body for service in wet valve-box environments, and the captive plunger helps keep internal parts together during removal and installation. Hunter uses this universal AC solenoid across multiple compatible valve families, including appropriate PGV, PGV Jar-Top, ICV, IBV, and HPV models.
This is an AC solenoid for conventional irrigation controllers. It is not interchangeable with the Hunter 458200 DC-latching solenoid required by NODE and other supported battery-operated controllers. Confirm the installed valve and controller type before ordering.

FAQ
Can Hunter 606800 be used with a NODE controller?
No. NODE controllers require a compatible DC-latching solenoid such as Hunter 458200.
Does it fit only HPV valves?
No. Hunter uses this AC solenoid on multiple compatible valve families.
Is a complete valve included?
No. This listing is for the replacement solenoid only.
Why Buy the Hunter 606800 From Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply identifies the exact solenoid SKU, 24 VAC operation, compatible valve families, electrical ratings, and DC-latching incompatibility so customers can match the replacement to the installed controller and valve.
