Transitional Systems Most Dual-Valve Operator | DOUBLER

DOUBLER Doubler allows independent control of two automatic valves with only one valve wire and the common. When Doubler is connected to one station of the controller, it switches when the station is turned on and passes the electrical current to the first valve. The next time that station is turned on, Doubler switches to the second valve. It simply alternates between the two valves. If two stations are connected to Doubler by a jumper wire in the controller, it switches between the two valves corresponding to the two stations. It simply uses one wire twice. If a second station is not available, use another program to power the added valve. Each valve will water for as long as the time set on the controller.

The industry standard for bypassing broken wires and adding new valves without the need to trench new wire back to your controller. DOUBLER allows the independent operation of two valves on one set of field wires.

  • Add a valve to separate wet and dry areas.

  • Operate 2 valves separately on one wire.

  • Bypass broken wires.

  • Divide low pressure lines by adding more valves.

  • Add new valves to a full controller by using additional programs.

  • Add a drip line without trenching more wires.

  • Completely waterproof for direct burial.

  • No disturbing your landscaping.

  • Compatible with all controllers using self diagnostic circuitry.

  • Switches before turning on a valve, not after.

  • No damage from short circuits up to 10 amps.

Very Nice
Unit was very easy to install, and instructions were simple to understand as it's easy to get your controller fooled.
Also works with Rachio controller, which was very nice indeed.

which one is more reliable? Add-a-zone, or Doubler?

BEST ANSWER: Doubler is mechanical, like a click pen. It will work with finicky controllers.
Add-A-Zone is solid state and will last for years. However, some electronic controllers will not operate properly with it. More info: Search - Triac Quadrant
Had a broken and lost wire to me zone 4. Lanskape firm installed a coupler to use zone 4 to control 3 as well. I understood that both 3 and 4 would work during a full cycle, but alternately. I’m confused, big time. Will 3 run during one cycle and 4 during the next cycle? If so, one or the other gets watered once every two weeks. (We water only weekly)

Using a rain bird ESP-ME timer, should I set up an additional program to run only 3 and 4? Program A would run skipping 3 or 4 and then program B would follow and run only 3or 4?

Please help me to understandd the function and operation of the coupler.

Thanks,
Tom Schroeder

BEST ANSWER: The way a doubler works is like a switch. Let's say a and b. When controller activates doubler a, or in this case zone 3 opens. When power goes off , doubler switches to b. Next time it is activated, it turns on b or in this case zone 4. Problem is that doubler is not switching because power is not being interrupted. This is the reason for separation. If 4 and 5 or 2 and 3 are switched than doubler will reset to next a or b.
I AM OUT OF ZONES ON THE ORBIT CONTROLLER, I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE MORE ZONE WITH THIS?
annie on May 4, 2016
BEST ANSWER: If you are out of zones on your controller you won't be able to use doubler. In order to use a doubler you need a free zone on your controller to bridge the new zone. For example, if your controller has 6 zones and you are using all 6 and want to add a 7th zone you will need a new controller. If you are using 5, then you could use a doubler and bridge to zone 6. I hope this helped.
How well does the doubler work? Had any troubles with it?
Stephen J on May 23, 2011
BEST ANSWER: It's great! It elminates a valve and the only reason I got this one was because the other one was worn out, put it on a commercial property of mine and it works like a charm!!! Hope this helps.
Is it worth the money
A shopper on May 13, 2011
BEST ANSWER: Yes it was, it allowed to split a zone with 5 heads to convert it to a zone for 3 heads and the other zone with 2 heads, I did not have enoygh water pressure to cover 5 heads at once.
does it come with 16 gauge wire?
Judy W on Jun 13, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Too long ago to recall for sure, but the doubler wire was about the same gauge as the valve/solenoid wire.
how do you install it ?
daniel c on Feb 7, 2012
BEST ANSWER: I purchased the doubler because I added a couple of new zones to my system and I ran out of spare wires. So, the doubler fixed this problem. It comes with four wire sticking out of it. I can be placed in one of your solenoid boxes and is sealed for moisture. You hook it up like the instructions say. The white wire is connected to the common coming from your controller and both of the two soledonoid valves for the zones you want to turn on. The black wire is connected to the wire( lets say it is green) from the controller that will be used to turn on your two stations. The two red wires are then connected to the other wires going to each solenoid valve. On the controller the green wire is connected to a station number and also jumpered to another spare station. These two station numbers must not be in sequence if you are using a solid state controller. I used this system most of last summer and it worked flawlessly.
