Review: Replacement for older Rain Bird valves with some modification - I have old Rain Bird valves on my irrigation system which has a different solenoid than the new versions and I couldn't find any old style anywhere. Thanks to a comment in another review, I was able to utilize this solenoid on my valves. As the other review stated, you have to use a knife to cut off the white plastic at the end which retains the solenoid core then it works fine for the Rain Bird. Worked so good, I bought two more to replace all the solenoids while I could get them. Saved me from having to dig up my entire valve box and re-plumb everything.
Review: Good replacement for Irritrol 2713APR - Faulty wire connection on top of solenoid was causing zone to be skipped or shortened. I could reposition the wire and it would work for a while, but would eventually fail again. Found this replacement solenoid and it fixed the problem. Very easy to replace and it is an exact match for Irritrol 2713APR valve solenoid.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these solenoids made in mexico or usa? i ask, because the threads are different.**
A: i recently replaced one that was broken on my system.  The broken one (prob 20 years old) was made in the usa, but the replacement that I bought from ACE was made in mexico.  I'd imagine this one was also made in mexico.

**Q: How do I tell if it is bad?**
A: if you have 24v at the solenoid, and it does not open the valve the solenoid is bad

**Q: how wide are the threads?  I need a 3/4 inch diameter**
A: Rain Bird makes a replacement solenoid that is a 3/4" male thread.

**Q: Are these waterproof or do they need a cover?  My old solenoid had a thread on top that held a cover on.**
A: I wouldn't say waterproof, but mine were exposed and got wet often, but they lasted a long time before needing to be replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good replacement for Irritrol 2713APR

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be a good valve solenoid - following a small modification.
*by R***K on January 7, 2026*

I saw reviews that indicated that the valve doesn't close for some older valves with this solenoid. Sure enough, mine has that problem! Several reviews indicated that they fixed the problem by removing the white plastic spacer. The engineer in me told me that part has a role in this design and should not simply be removed. Irritrol didn't simply have some extra white plastic and concluded they could get rid of it here! I removed the white plastic part from the old solenoid and compared it to the new plastic piece. See attached photos. The new white plastic part is noticeably taller. The height difference appears to be entirely in the lower section of the white part. I used a flat file to evenly remove material from the back side of the white plastic (lower section) until the old and new parts were roughly the same height. The overall height of the modified white part is about 5.6mm. The height of the bottom section after modification is about 3.3mm It seems to work fine and all parts are present!
