Hunter PGV Globe/Angle Valve Plastic 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 and costly crop loss, placing immense pressure on your maintenance crews to perform immediate repairs. When a main control valve fails due to debris or high pressure, it often results in failed inspections and wasted water that impacts your client's bottom line. With current global supply chain fluctuations, lead times for high capacity valves can be unpredictable during the late spring demand surge. Securing your inventory now ensures that your projects stay on schedule and your clients remain satisfied with a system that performs reliably when temperatures spike.
The Hunter PGV 2 inch globe and angle valve is engineered to handle the rigors of large scale residential and commercial sites where lower grade valves often fail under pressure. Its glass reinforced nylon construction provides a significant technical advantage over standard PVC valves, offering superior strength and resistance to UV damage and wear. By installing a valve with integrated flow control, your crews can fine tune the zone performance to maximize efficiency, which reduces long term maintenance call backs and saves labor costs. Maintaining a stock of these durable units gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for rapid deployment and professional grade reliability on every job site.

Installation Notes
Installation of the Hunter PGV 2 inch valve requires standard pipe wrenches or large channel locks to secure the FIPT connections. It is recommended to use high quality Teflon tape or a non-hardening pipe sealant on the threads to ensure a watertight seal, taking care not to over-tighten and stress the valve body. Always flush the main lines thoroughly before installing the valve to prevent debris from damaging the internal diaphragm. Ensure the arrows on the valve body are aligned with the direction of water flow and verify that all wiring complies with local electrical codes for 24VAC systems.
