Hunter PGV-ASV PVC Anti-Siphon Valve 1 in. FIPT with Flow Control
Product Overview
System failures due to inferior backflow prevention or cracked valve bodies can lead to catastrophic turf damage, high-volume water waste, and serious code violations. During the peak of the summer heat or the rush of the spring startup season, your clients cannot afford a system shutdown caused by back-orders on essential components. When regional supply shortages hit, having these valves on hand ensures your projects stay on schedule and your crews remain productive. Securing your inventory now provides the immediate relief of knowing you can meet inspection deadlines without the stress of local stockouts.
The Hunter PGV-ASV series offers a heavy-duty PVC construction that outperforms standard residential-grade valves in high-pressure environments. Its integrated flow control allows for precision tuning of zone pressure, which reduces misting and extends the life of your lateral lines. By choosing a professional-grade valve that combines zone control and backflow prevention in one unit, you reduce the number of components needed for an installation. This leads to lower labor costs and fewer potential leak points, providing your business with a clear competitive edge in both reliability and profitability.

Installation Notes
The PGV-ASV must be installed at least six inches above the highest sprinkler head in the zone to ensure the anti-siphon mechanism functions correctly. Use Teflon tape or a non-hardening thread sealant on the 1 inch FIPT connections to prevent leaks. Always flush the main line thoroughly before installing the valve to protect the internal diaphragm from construction debris. Ensure the arrow on the valve body points in the direction of water flow to maintain proper operation and code compliance.
