Orbit 57041 24V Universal Sprinkler Valve Solenoid Replacement(1)

Description

STOP – Read This Before Purchasing

Critical Installation Note: Many older Orbit 100-series valves used a separate adapter piece between the solenoid and valve bonnet. When you remove your old solenoid, look carefully at what came out. If you see ribs or a collar above the threads, you removed an adapter along with the solenoid. Thread that adapter back onto teh new solenoid or valve bonnet (hand-tight) BEFORE installing this new solenoid. Skipping this step will cause leaks or fit issues.

Compatibility Check:

• Works with: Orbit jar-top valves, 100-series valves, most standard 3/4″-20 UNEF threaded valves
• Does NOT work with: L-Series valves (order 57226 instead), DV-series, PEB-series (without separate adapters)

Replacing an old metal-plunger solenoid? Remove any rubber O-ring inside the valve threads. The new internal plunger design doesn't need it – leaving it in can prevent proper shutoff.

What's included: One 24V solenoid with waterproof housing, stainless steel internals, and insulated wires. Operates reliably from 20-28V AC. Replaces discontinued model 57039.

Installation steps:

1. Turn off water
2. Disconnect wires from old solenoid
3. Unscrew old solenoid – check if an adapter came with it
4. If adapter present, thread it back onto valve bonnet first
5. Remove any old O-rings from threads (optional)
6. Hand-tighten new solenoid into place
7. Connect wires with waterproof wire nuts
8. Turn water back on and test

For outdoor irrigation use with cold water only.
