Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ICV-151G-FS
Product Overview
The Hunter ICV-151G-FS is a 1-1/2-inch commercial globe irrigation valve with flow control and a factory-installed Filter Sentry mechanism. It is intended for higher-capacity commercial, municipal, campus, park, and large residential systems that need a valve capable of operating across a broad pressure and flow range. The female-threaded body uses glass-filled nylon construction, a fabric-reinforced EPDM diaphragm and seat, and Hunter’s double-beaded diaphragm seal design.
Hunter rates the 1-1/2-inch ICV platform for approximately 0.1 to 150 GPM with a recommended pressure range of 20 to 220 PSI. Actual design flow should be selected from the system pressure-loss requirements rather than using the published maximum as a target. The low end of the published range also allows the valve to serve compatible low-flow zones when the piping, filtration, and downstream equipment are properly designed.
The Filter Sentry mechanism helps clean the internal filter screen during operation, making this configuration useful where suspended debris from ponds, reclaimed-water sources, or other challenging supplies may be present. External and internal manual bleed options allow local activation. Captive bonnet screws reduce loose service parts, and the flow-control stem supports zone balancing or valve shutoff during maintenance. A standard encapsulated 24 VAC solenoid with captive plunger is included for compatible conventional irrigation controllers.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
- Connect to compatible 1-1/2-inch female NPT piping.
- Install with the body flow arrow aligned with the direction of water movement.
- Use with a compatible 24 VAC controller unless an approved DC-latching solenoid configuration is installed.
- Size the valve using design flow, pressure loss, pipe velocity, and downstream demand.
- Flush the mainline before installation and allow valve-box access for service.
- Follow Hunter instructions for flow control, manual bleed, Filter Sentry service, wiring, and winterization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Filter Sentry?
Filter Sentry is Hunter’s internal wiping mechanism that helps remove debris from the valve’s filter screen during operation.
Is the Filter Sentry option removable?
The mechanism can be serviced, and Hunter identifies Filter Sentry as an option that can be added to compatible installed ICV valves. Follow the current service instructions for the exact model.
Can this valve run at 150 GPM in every system?
No. That is the published upper limit. The acceptable design flow depends on pressure loss, available pressure, pipe sizing, velocity, and site requirements.
