Wireholder for Hunter's irrigation sprinkler valve

thingiverse

I think many many houseowner knows this problem. After using this type of hunter 24vac valves for couple of years, they start to fail. All of them, like this. Wires brake of completly. My personal opinion is it's a design fault. In last five years I replaced two solenoid with same defect. Saidly the newly bought ones had no improvement... So I decided to protect my wallet. The solenoid only costs almost the same a complet new valve.... So buying parts is not really profitable. Thanks Hunter! Installation is dead simple. Put wires of solenoid throuh the printed part and place it on top of solenoid. Securing of wires and the new part happens with two zipties. You can even apply some hotglue to the neck of wires.
