The Weathermatic SOL16 is a 12V DC latching replacement solenoid engineered for reliable field repairs and battery-powered irrigation controllers. Designed to replace OEM AC solenoids on Weathermatic electric valves, the SOL16 provides dependable latching action that reduces power draw and extends battery life for remote or off-grid systems.

  • Voltage: 12V DC latching design for low-power operation and battery controllers.
  • Compatibility: Direct replacement for many Weathermatic electric valves, compatible with common brass and plastic valve bodies and legacy series.
  • Installation: Simple threaded fit — installs in the valve solenoid port without special tools for quick field service.
  • Power-saving: Latching action minimizes current draw so controllers use less energy between position changes.
  • Reliable operation: Built for outdoor irrigation environments where consistent valve actuation matters.
  • Ideal use: Retrofits, remote battery controllers, and on-site valve repairs.

Before ordering, confirm your valve’s solenoid thread and model to ensure direct fit. If you’re replacing an AC-wired solenoid, the SOL16 provides a DC option for battery-operated or low-voltage systems. For specific fitment questions, consult your valve manual or contact technical support with the valve model and serial details. SKU: SOL16.
