Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: NODE-BT-100-VALVE
Product Overview
The Hunter NODE-BT-100-VALVE is a complete single-station, battery-operated irrigation control package that combines a Bluetooth-enabled NODE-BT controller with a 1-inch PGV-101-G valve and compatible DC-latching solenoid. It is designed for locations where AC power or conventional controller wiring is unavailable, including isolated landscape zones, traffic medians, green roofs, gardens, and temporary irrigation systems.
The controller is programmed and operated from a nearby compatible smartphone using the Hunter NODE-BT app. Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy communication provides a published line-of-sight range of approximately 50 feet, subject to the valve-box lid, soil, structures, phone hardware, and site conditions. The system operates locally and does not require Wi-Fi, cellular service, or a cloud connection.
NODE-BT provides three independent programs with eight start times per program and station run times from one second to 12 hours. Cycle and Soak, seasonal adjustment, a programmable 99-day irrigation suspension, controller passcode protection, and manual push-button operation support flexible field use. Two sensor inputs support a compatible wired soil sensor and a wired rain, freeze, or wind sensor when installed according to Hunter instructions.
The included PGV-101-G valve has 1-inch female NPT inlet and outlet connections, integrated flow control, and an approximate published flow range of 0.2 to 40 GPM at a recommended operating pressure of 20 to 150 PSI. The valve is fitted with the DC-latching solenoid required by the battery controller. One or two 9-volt alkaline batteries are required and are not identified as included with this listing.
