IrritrolR811-24VACG Replacement Solenoid

Works great

Easy to install and saved me a bunch. I did some trouble shooting myself since the sprinkler service company wanted $150 just to troubleshoot and then the same plus parts to fix. Very easy to change out since it just unscrews and two wires. So easy a Cave man can do it! Just don't forget to turn off the water to the system or you are going to get wet.

Ordered this solenoid because it was the correct part number for an older solenoid that had gone bad on a fairly old valve. Popped the new one on and once I turned the water on the zone wouldn’t close even after turning it off on the controller. Turns out the white plastic piece on the solenoid would not allow the metal cylinder to drop low enough to close the valve. I removed the plastic piece and no issues. I saw someone wrote this in another review and thought I’d reiterate it to save any aggravation to anyone else. If your valve is older you may have to do this.

I first thought this was incompatable but now concluded I won't know until I can test it in real lifeI have now tested it and it seems to work fine without leaks. So although it does not look exactly the same as my original Richdel it does the job for me.

Nice solenoid easy install.
