Hunter PGV-101-JTG-S Valve

The jar-top design allows you to unscrew the top of the valve by hand, meaning you don't need any specialized tools to access the internal diaphragm for cleaning or repairs. It makes routine maintenance significantly faster and easier compared to traditional bolted-top valves.

Yes, this valve is fully compatible with all standard 24 VAC residential irrigation controllers. It is a drop-in replacement for most standard residential sprinkler systems.

The integrated flow control knob allows you to manually adjust the volume of water flowing through the valve. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the output of specific sprinkler zones to prevent overwatering or to balance pressure across different heads.

No, this is an inline valve and does not include an anti-siphon feature. You will need to ensure your irrigation system has the appropriate backflow prevention device installed elsewhere in the system to meet local plumbing codes.

You can activate the valve manually using the manual bleed feature. By turning the solenoid or the bleed screw, you can open the valve to test your sprinklers or run a zone without needing to trigger the controller.

This valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI, which covers the vast majority of residential water systems. If your home water pressure exceeds this, you should install a pressure regulator upstream.
