Superior Buckner VB Series 24V AC 2-Way Solenoid Kit
Restore electric control on a Superior Buckner VB brass valve with the genuine
VBPRASKIT 24V AC 2-way solenoid kit. When the valve has power but
will not open, or the plunger never lifts when energized, the solenoid is the part
to replace — not the diaphragm. This kit is listed by Superior for all VB
Series sizes and uses the standard 24-volt AC coil that irrigation controllers
already output.

When to Replace the Solenoid vs. the Diaphragm
On a reverse-flow VB valve, a torn diaphragm usually keeps the valve closed
(will not open). A dead solenoid has the same symptom electrically: no click and
no plunger movement when the station is on. Test the coil first. If the solenoid
is good and the valve still will not seal or shut off, use the
VB Series diaphragm repair kit.
