Hunter Globe Valve IBV Brass 1-1/2 in. w/ Flow Control and Filter Sentry FIPT x FIPT
Product Overview
When a main control valve fails during the height of the summer heat, the consequences for your commercial clients range from catastrophic turf loss to expensive property damage. Relying on inferior plastic valves in high pressure or high reclaimed water environments often leads to diaphragm failure and unexpected system shutdowns. During peak installation season, supply chain delays on specialized brass components can stall your project deadlines and lead to failed inspections. Securing your inventory of Hunter IBV valves now ensures your crews stay on schedule, providing the relief of a reliable installation that eliminates the risk of emergency mid season repairs.
The Hunter IBV series offers a significant technical advantage over standard plastic valves by utilizing a heavy duty brass construction that handles pressures up to 220 PSI. This specific model features the Filter Sentry system, which actively scours the internal filter screen to prevent debris buildup and clogging in dirty water applications. By choosing a brass globe valve with flow control, you reduce long term maintenance costs and labor hours spent troubleshooting weeping valves. Investing in these commercial grade components provides your business with a competitive edge, as your installs will withstand harsh environments that cause lesser valves to fail prematurely.

Installation Notes
Install the valve with the arrow pointing in the direction of water flow and ensure all threaded connections are sealed with high quality PTFE tape or an approved pipe sealant. For optimal performance in commercial settings, install the valve within a jumbo valve box to provide adequate space for future maintenance of the Filter Sentry mechanism. Always flush the main line thoroughly before installing the solenoid assembly to prevent construction debris from damaging the diaphragm or internal ports. Adhere to all local plumbing codes regarding the use of brass components in irrigation mainlines.
