The Wireless Valve Link product family eliminates some of the biggest contractor costs in irrigation installations: copper wire and unnecessary excavation to connect or repair distant valves. Like decoders, it replaces commodity wire with Hunter ingenuity and provides an efficient alternative to activating irrigation valves. Once connected, wireless signals are immune to issues that commonly afflict wired systems, such as wire degradation and lightning damage.

With the Wireless Valve Link, you can add valves up to 2,000' (or more with a Repeater)* without the need for new valve wiring. Often described as a wireless decoder system, the Wireless Valve Link provides a flexible solution for complex landscapes. Now it’s possible to cross concrete sidewalks and asphalt driveways wirelessly, saving time and money during installation.

This convenient and innovative wireless valve technology simplifies installation for landscapes of all sizes by eliminating the need to run costly field wires or cut into hardscape.

* Wireless range is subject to terrain, foliage, buildings, and other site factors. Consult product documentation before installing.
