Electric to Hydraulic Converters

Electric to hydraulic converters require careful integration of their electrical and hydraulic components. Turn off your system, then secure the electrohydraulic converter to a stable surface near the irrigation control valve. Connect the control wires from the irrigation controller to the converter's electrical terminals and the hydraulic tubing from the converter to the individual hydraulic valves. Make sure all hydraulic connections are sealed by briefly activating the system.

No, a hydraulic converter does not replace your existing valves. If your irrigation system already uses hydraulic valves, the electrohydraulic converter is installed to allow an electric irrigation controller to operate those valves. However, if you're switching from electric to hydraulic control (or vice versa), then you may need to change your valves to match the control type.
