Expert Insight:
The 242.980.AB.1 is the specific solenoid solution for "legacy" HyTronic systems that use the white or black plastic valve bodies. Maintenance Tip: Before installing the new solenoid, ensure the internal filter screen is clear of mineral deposits, as sediment buildup is the leading cause of solenoid failure in high-traffic restrooms. Pro Tip: This kit includes the solenoid and the necessary adapter for 2nd and 3rd generation configurations. If your faucet has a brown plastic valve body (4th Generation), you may require a different part number. Using this OEM kit ensures that the electronic signal from your sensor accurately triggers the water flow, preventing ghost-activations and "leaky" spouts that waste water and money. It is an essential stock item for facilities managing aging HyTronic infrastructure. Buy at the best price or request a high-volume quote at ProDryers today by calling 888-503-7937!
