hunter pgv valve?

[bangmikkelbang]

i just bought a hunter pgv 1" sprinkler valve and was wondering if anyone has ever used one or if they even work. i dont want to tear into it and find out it wont work.

I've never seen one before, but if you post a picture of it, we might be able to help you.

heres a pic of the inner workings of it

It looks like a standard sprinkler valve, although it may have a guide rod, which would need a little extra modding, but I think you should be fine. (you may want to wait for advice from other people though, just to make sure)

They're actually quite common in NZ. Like <A HREF="http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Ou ... ">this?</a>

I'd say it's modable, just make sure you know what you're doing if it has a guide rod, and deal to the flow control in the usual manner. (There's a tutorial somewhere, i'm sure.)

It will work, but it would've been easier getting one without flow control and (if it has one) guide rod.

it doesnt have flow control, im trying to find out whether it has a guide rod or not.

when i fill it, it just honks. i have read the sticky and put a ball valve in front. it still honks. i also took out the little white part underneath the diaphram. it still does the same thing.

At what pressure?

[bangmikkelbang]

i fixed the honking. turns out the solenoid seal was not good enough. can i buy a plug or could i just use epoxy? also there was a little residual water in the valve and it makes a spitting sound in the last few seconds of filling.

why is there water in your valve?

[bangmikkelbang]

im guessing water was run through them for testing or something like that.
