Hybrid 3D Line
With Tucor’s Hybrid 3D, you can add additional valves, flow meter, or master valve to an existing irrigation controller with less wire, trenching, time & money!
Using time-tested Tucor 2-Wire & decoder technology, the Hybrid 3D addresses any situation with its patented 3 Dimensions of capability:
- 2-Wire Conversion: Convert a controller to a Hybrid (conventional & 2-Wire) or full 2-Wire system. To convert up to 96 stations to 2-Wire, check out our TDI.
- Transition Valve:
Utilize an existing valve wire & a 3D decoder to add new zones (and more!) with Tucor 2-Wire technology... all from the valve box, out. - Flow Meter & Master Valve: Add a flow meter & master valve without running wire back to the controller.
Use Less Wire
Use less wire than traditional retrofit situations by using existing field wiring with the Hybrid 3D’s “Transition Valve” concept.
Labor Savings
Make future expansions easier by leveraging the 3D’s patented 2-Wire technology for modular addition of new valves.
Conserve Water
Add a flow meter and master valve to your existing controller when installation would normally be prohibitive.
3D-FMV Assembly
The 3D-FMV Assembly contains everything you need to add a flow meter and master valve in one kit (3D, 3DLD-050 & 3D-FMV-M decoders & splice kits)
Hybrid 3D-6
Add up to 6 valves* and a flow meter/master valve to most conventional irrigation controllers.
Hybrid 3D-24
Add up to 24 valves* and a flow meter/master valve to most conventional irrigation controllers.
TDI-F
Convert up to 96 zones to 2-Wire and bring up to 2 Flow Meters and Master Valves back to most conventional irrigation controllers.
TDI
Convert up to 96 zones to 2-Wire and directly connect one flow meter. Ideal for host controllers without local flow measurement capabilities.
*Decoders are sold separately. Existing controller must have capacity for additional zones.
