Hunter’s PGV Residential Valves: Widest Selection, Easiest to Install, Easiest to Service

Being able to recommend the perfect solution to your customer’s irrigation needs is always easy when you can suggest a product line with a longstanding reputation for quality, durability, variety, and value.

Hunter’s extensive line of PGV residential valves is a perfect example. Every PGV model—including the latest PGV 1 1/2- and 2-inch versions with external bleed screws—is rugged and reliable. Now with more than 24 models that address a wide range of applications, the PGV line is also one of the industry's most comprehensive.

That can be especially helpful when servicing existing systems. After all, upgrading a customer to dependable Hunter PGV valves is always a good move for your professional reputation!

PGV Means Professional Grade Valves

Just as controllers or timers are the “brains” of an irrigation grid, professional installers view valves as the “heart” of any sprinkler system. They have to be durable and dependable, providing just the right amount of water day in and day out—without missing a beat.

For smaller landscapes, the PGV comes in several 1-inch versions, including angle and globe configurations with a wide variety of connection types: male x male, male x barb, even an optional slip x slip for direct glue connections when using PVC pipe. Each configuration is available with flow control, which enables the water flow to be adjusted at each zone within the system.

For larger landscape applications, PGV comes in both 1 1/2- and 2-inch models with flow control. Both of these models are combination globe/angle, providing maximum flexibility.

In addition to the wide choice of models to suit any application without the need for a lot of re-piping, every Hunter PGV valve is built to the same exacting design and engineering standards that have made them the preferred choice among thousands of professionals the world over. High-grade materials and construction mean a true 150 PSI rating to easily withstand even the highest pressures. Hunter can make this claim because each valve is water tested to this pressure, as well as minimum and maximum flows, before being shipped.

Plus, captive bonnet bolts mean no lost parts during servicing, and the same heavy-duty solenoid model is used in all Hunter plastic valves. That means you have to stock only one kind in your truck for any maintenance calls—another contractor convenience.

PGV Jar-Top: Tops in Service

Speaking of convenience, the PGV Jar-Top series brings a whole new level of servicing ease to the industry. Much like a jam or jelly jar in your kitchen pantry, this design features a threaded, twist-off top that lets you service the diaphragm quickly and efficiently without using a single tool.

Just like the bonnet-top PGV, the PGV Jar-Top comes with a full range of connections to meet every need: male x male, male x barb, slip x slip joints for PVC pipe, even female threaded inlets and outlets. Like the rest of the PGV line, the Jar-Top uses the same robust solenoid model and diaphragms to keep service SKUs and inventories to a minimum.

So remember this three-letter combination next time you are in a position to recommend a valve that will be at the very heart of your professional reputation—PGV!
