Can be used to replace Galcon S-392 from a DIG 7001
I can confirm the other review about using it to fix an old DIG 7001 battery hose timer/valve.The latching solenoid on the device did not hold the plunger in place after the opening pulse. I don't know how a magnet goes bad, but that is apparently what happened. Like the other reviewer, I experienced the new one being bigger so everything didn't snap together, but some tape worked for me. Note, the threads are the same, it is just the body of the solenoid that is bigger. If you take the old solenoid off and the plunger doesn't stay in when pushed in manually then it is defective.The packaging says it is for 13v devices, but the 9v of the DIG 7001 works fine. You will need to cut the wires and solder it to the old wiring, as there is no connector. Suggest using heat shrink tubing on the solder joints

Perfect!
Exactly what we needed. Arrived on time and was exactly what we ordered. Replaced the old one in our irrigation system and it started right up and worked perfectly.

Not very durable
Installed 2 of these and both failed after about 5 months of use. The same thing happened with both; the solenoid couldn't latch at the end of the watering interval, so the sprinklers just stay on indefinitely until I intervene.I'm still glad I automated a couple of my manual zones, as everything got much more consistent watering last season and looked much better all summer, but I suspect it'll be an ongoing $20+ of parts replacement each season which is kind of annoying.

Easy install
I knew nothing about sprinkler controls before this, but I was able to install these to hook up to a battery timer with ease.

The solenoid adapter is not included
I have received and returned this item twice because the solenoid adapter is not included. What you see in the picture with the gray ring in it is not included and the valve does not work without that piece in the DC battery operated valve.Amazon customer support was great to replace the parts the first time and the second time to waive the cost for these parts however the description and the picture is totally incorrect.
