Hunter Globe Valve ICV Glass Filled Nylon 1 in. w/ Flow Control and Filter Sentry FIP...

Product Overview

When irrigation valves fail during the peak of the summer heat, the consequences for your clients include immediate turf stress, costly system shutdowns, and potential crop loss. In many jurisdictions, a weeping valve or a failure to close can lead to significant water waste and local code violations that result in heavy fines. With supply chain fluctuations causing unpredictable lead times across the industry, waiting until a valve fails to source a replacement is a risk your business cannot afford. Planning ahead and securing your inventory now ensures that your projects stay on schedule and your crews remain productive while competitors are stuck waiting on back-orders.

The Hunter ICV series provides a distinct technical advantage over standard residential-grade valves by utilizing glass filled nylon construction to handle pressures up to 220 PSI. This high-performance build reduces the frequency of service calls related to body fatigue or diaphragm failure in high-pressure environments. By choosing a valve equipped with Filter Sentry technology, your team spends less time addressing debris-related clogs in dirty water applications; this translates into lower long-term maintenance costs and higher profitability per contract. Investing in superior hardware reinforces your reputation for reliable installations and gives you a competitive edge in the professional landscape market.

Installation Notes

Ensure all threaded connections are made using high-quality PTFE tape or thread sealant to prevent leaks at the FIP ports. For optimal performance in dirty water conditions, install the valve with the solenoid upright and maintain a minimum of 20 PSI to ensure the diaphragm seats correctly. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention and ensure the wire path is protected by direct burial rated waterproof connectors.
