Brand: K-Rain SKU: P3008114
Product Overview
The K-Rain P3008114 is a 9V DC latching replacement solenoid for compatible battery-powered irrigation controllers and valves. Unlike a conventional 24 VAC solenoid that must remain energized while a valve is open, a latching solenoid changes position from a brief electrical pulse and remains in that position until it receives the opposite pulse. This low-power operation is required by K-Rain BLUE battery-powered controllers and similar approved systems.
The P3008114 is listed by K-Rain as the 9V latching-solenoid accessory for BLUE and BLUE LTE controllers. It threads directly onto compatible K-Rain valve solenoid ports. Other valve brands may require a model-specific adapter or replacement kit, and compatibility should not be assumed from voltage alone. Rain Bird and Hunter adapter components are available separately for approved K-Rain solenoid conversions.
This listing includes one solenoid with attached control leads. The irrigation valve, controller, waterproof wire connectors, and brand adapters are sold separately. Observe the controller's polarity instructions because DC latching coils typically use polarity to open and close the valve.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Use only with a controller designed for a 9V DC latching coil. A standard 24 VAC controller will not operate this solenoid correctly. Shut off water pressure before removing the existing coil, keep the plunger and valve port clean, and use waterproof field connections. Follow the controller's polarity and startup procedure because some latching coils may arrive in an open or closed latched position.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can P3008114 replace a standard 24 VAC solenoid?
Only when the valve is compatible and the controller is specifically designed for a 9V DC latching coil. It is not a direct electrical substitute on a conventional 24 VAC controller.
Does it work with K-Rain BLUE controllers?
Yes. K-Rain identifies P3008114 as the latching-solenoid accessory for BLUE battery-powered controllers.
Are Rain Bird or Hunter adapters included?
No. Model-specific adapters or a complete conversion kit are purchased separately.
Why Buy the K-Rain P3008114 from Big Frog Supply?
This page clearly distinguishes the 9V latching coil from a conventional 24 VAC solenoid, helping prevent an electrically incompatible replacement. Big Frog Supply also carries K-Rain BLUE controllers, 24V and 9V conversion kits, adapters, valves, and waterproof wire connectors for completing the installation.
