Hunter Globe Valve IBV Brass 2 in. w/ Flow Control and Filter Sentry FIPT x FIPT
Product Overview
System failures during the height of the summer heat can lead to catastrophic turf damage and costly crop loss, particularly when high-pressure commercial systems are involved. Relying on inferior valves in demanding environments invites cracked bodies and blown diaphragms, leading to emergency repairs and frustrated clients. With peak irrigation season approaching and supply chain fluctuations affecting lead times, securing professional-grade brass valves now is the only way to prevent project delays and failed inspections. Planning your inventory today ensures your crews stay on schedule and your reputation for reliability remains intact.
The Hunter IBV series offers a significant technical advantage over standard plastic valves by utilizing a heavy-duty brass body and bonnet capable of withstanding pressures up to 220 PSI. This durability eliminates the risk of body stress fractures common in high-pressure or reclaimed water applications, saving your team hours in long-term maintenance and warranty calls. By installing a valve engineered for the harshest conditions, you gain a competitive edge through reduced system downtime and lower total cost of ownership for your clients. Being well-stocked with the IBV ensures you are prepared for the most rigorous commercial specifications.

Installation Notes
Install the IBV valve with the flow arrow pointing downstream and ensure the valve box provides adequate clearance for manual operation and solenoid access. Use high-quality thread sealant on the 2 inch FIPT connections, taking care not to over-tighten into the brass body. For systems utilizing dirty or reclaimed water, the Filter Sentry mechanism should be inspected periodically to ensure the scouring ring moves freely. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention and electrical connections for 24 VAC wiring.
