## Description
ESP-HT2 (1ZEHTMRP) is Rain Bird's premium battery hose-end controller for a hose-end sprinkler, drip manifold, or soaker hose. Brass garden-hose-thread fittings on both ends resist cross-threading. A high-flow, low-pressure-loss valve keeps output closer to what the faucet can deliver.
Program a seven-day schedule with up to four start times and as long as six hours per cycle — enough for clay and drip that need a long soak. One-touch Water Now runs a manual cycle. Cancel Watering doubles as a rain delay up to 96 hours.
Power is two AA batteries (not included). The large LCD shows the next start and time remaining. This timer is not LNK2, not WaterSense, and not a 24 VAC controller. It is the hose-bib SKU when there is no valve box.
