Rain Bird 1ZEHTMR Single Zone Digital Hose End Timer

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD 1ZEHTMR is a single-zone, single-station digital hose end timer designed for residential and light commercial outdoor watering applications. It connects directly to a standard hose bib and controls one irrigation zone with a programmable digital interface. The large dial and backlit readout screen allow quick setup and review of watering schedules without tools. Instant override buttons provide a rain delay cancel and a manual water-now function. The inlet uses a 3/4-inch female hose thread connection, and the outlet uses a 3/4-inch male hose thread, making it compatible with standard garden hose fittings. Power comes from two AA batteries, not included.

This timer is suited for residential yards, garden beds, and container gardens where a single watering zone is needed. It works with hose end impact sprinklers, drip irrigation systems, and soaker hoses. The high flow rate supports operation of up to five impact sprinklers on one zone, making it practical for small to mid-size lawn areas. Landscape irrigation technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this unit as a simple, battery-powered alternative to hardwired irrigation controllers.

Installation Notes

A licensed irrigator or knowledgeable installer should confirm local watering schedules comply with any municipal restrictions before programming. Turn off the water supply at the hose bib before threading the timer onto the connection to avoid cross-threading. Insert batteries before mounting to confirm the digital display is functional. Do not overtighten the hose thread connections; hand-tight plus a quarter turn is sufficient to prevent leaks without damaging the plastic body.
