3 in. Globe/Angle Valve Plastic Hunter

Product Overview

System failures during peak mid summer heat can lead to rapid turf desiccation, expensive plant loss, and frustrated commercial clients. When a main control valve fails on a large scale project, it often results in total system shutdowns or localized flooding that can trigger code violations and failed inspections. Because supply chain shortages regularly impact high demand 3 inch components, waiting until a valve fails to order a replacement puts your project deadlines at serious risk. Purchasing your inventory now ensures your crews remain on schedule and your clients avoid the catastrophic costs of landscape replacement during the busiest weeks of the season.

The Hunter 3 inch Globe/Angle Valve is engineered to outperform lower grade residential valves by utilizing glass reinforced nylon construction that handles high pressure surges without weeping or body fatigue. This professional grade valve reduces labor costs by offering a versatile globe and angle configuration, which simplifies manifold design in deep trenches or complex retrofits. By choosing a heavy duty valve designed for dirty water and high flow rates, you minimize future service calls and long term maintenance expenses. Staying stocked with these reliable units provides your business with a competitive edge by allowing for immediate repairs while others are stalled by back orders.

Product Specifications

Available Models & Sizes

While this 3 inch model is the standard for high volume commercial zones, the series is typically available in sizes ranging from 1 inch to 3 inch diameters to accommodate various flow requirements. Please contact our sales team for full configurations, including DC latching solenoid options or reclaimed water identification handles.

Key Features

• Heavy duty glass reinforced nylon body provides maximum durability against high pressure and rugged site conditions.
• Dual purpose globe and angle configuration allows for flexible installation in diverse piping layouts.
• Fabric reinforced EPDM diaphragm ensures reliable operation and prevents leaks during frequent cycling.
• Internal and external manual bleed options allow for quick activation at the valve without flooding the valve box.
• Captive bonnet bolts eliminate the risk of lost hardware during field service or diaphragm inspections.
• Accu-Sync pressure regulation compatibility allows for precise downstream pressure control to protect lateral lines.

Common Applications

• Commercial landscape irrigation
• Sports turf and golf course maintenance
• Municipal parks and public spaces
• Agricultural and crop irrigation
• Greenhouse and nursery operations
• Erosion control and stormwater systems

Installation Notes

Install the valve with the flow arrow pointing in the direction of the water move; failure to orient the valve correctly will prevent the diaphragm from seating. Use Teflon tape or a non hardening pipe sealant on the 3 inch NPT threads to ensure a watertight connection without overstressing the nylon body. Always flush the main line thoroughly before installing the solenoid valve to prevent debris from fouling the internal ports. Ensure the valve box is sized appropriately to allow for future maintenance of the bonnet bolts and manual bleed screws.
