Professional-Grade Durability for High-Demand Systems
The Hunter PGV 1″ Screw-Top Valve with Flow Control is engineered to handle the rigorous demands of professional landscaping and high-pressure residential environments. Built from robust, UV and corrosion-resistant PVC, this valve utilizes a secure 4-bolt “screw-top” bonnet design. This heavy-duty assembly provides superior structural integrity against water hammer and pressure spikes, making it an incredibly durable choice for heavy-use mainline tubing systems.
The integrated flow control handle on top is critical for maximizing water efficiency. By simply turning the dial, you can fine-tune the flow rate and pressure for each specific zone, perfectly balancing everything from low-pressure drip tape to high-demand sprinkler heads. With both internal and external manual bleed options, starting your system up for maintenance or spot-watering is fast and completely hassle-free.
- Heavy-Duty Screw-Top Bonnet: The 4-bolt design ensures a rigid, blow-out resistant seal, ideal for higher-pressure commercial or residential systems.
- Built-In Flow Control: Maximize efficiency by dialing down water flow to prevent misting in sprinklers or over-pressurizing drip zones.
- Hassle-Free Manual Bleed: Activate the valve manually without the timer by utilizing either the external bleed screw or turning the solenoid a quarter-turn.
- Rugged Solenoid: Features a fully encapsulated 24 VAC solenoid with a captive plunger, guaranteeing reliable electronic activation time after time.

Follow these steps to wire and install your Hunter PGV valve.
Step 1: Plumb the Valve
Using Teflon tape, thread your 1″ PVC male adapters into the inlet and outlet ports of the valve. Ensure the directional arrows on the valve body point in the direction of the water flow.
Step 2: Connect the Common Wire
Identify the two wires attached to the solenoid. Connect one of these wires (it does not matter which) to the common wire returning to your irrigation controller using a weatherproof wire nut.
Step 3: Connect the Station Wire
Connect the remaining solenoid wire to the specific station/zone wire running back to your controller using a weatherproof wire nut.
Step 4: Adjust the Flow Control
Turn on the zone manually. Rotate the central flow control handle to fine-tune the water output until your sprinklers or drip emitters are operating at optimal pressure.
