Hunter Globe Valve ICV Glass Filled Nylon 1-1/2 in. w/ Flow Control FIPT x FIPT

Product Overview

System shutdowns during the peak of the summer heat can lead to rapid turf desiccation, costly plant loss, and frustrated commercial clients. When a standard valve fails under high pressure or contaminated water conditions, your crews are forced into emergency repairs that disrupt scheduled projects and eat into your profit margins. With supply chains remaining unpredictable, waiting for a failure to occur before ordering replacements risks extended downtime and failed site inspections. Planning ahead by stocking the Hunter ICV series ensures your projects stay on schedule and your clients remain satisfied with reliable irrigation performance.

The ICV series offers a significant technical advantage over standard PVC valves by utilizing glass filled nylon construction to handle pressures up to 220 PSI. This higher pressure rating and reinforced body prevent the stress cracking common in lower grade options, saving your team from frequent maintenance call backs and labor intensive replacements. By choosing a valve engineered for heavy duty commercial environments, you provide a more durable solution that reduces long term ownership costs. Maintaining a stock of these professional grade valves gives your business a competitive edge when bidding on demanding high pressure installations.

Installation Notes

Install the valve with the flow arrow pointing toward the downstream lateral lines to ensure proper diaphragm operation. Use high quality TEFLON tape or a non hardening thread sealant on the FIPT connections to prevent leaks without overstressing the nylon threads. Ensure the valve box provides adequate clearance for manual operation of the flow control handle and external bleed screw. Always flush the mainlines thoroughly before installing the valve to remove construction debris that could foul the internal solenoid or diaphragm ports.
