Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ICV-201G
Product Overview
The Hunter ICV-201G is a standard 2-inch commercial globe irrigation valve with female NPT connections, integrated flow control, and a conventional 24 VAC solenoid. It is intended for higher-capacity commercial, municipal, campus, park, and athletic-field irrigation systems where valve durability, pressure capability, and service access are important. The body uses glass-filled nylon construction, a fabric-reinforced EPDM diaphragm and seat, and Hunter’s double-beaded diaphragm seal design.
Hunter rates the 2-inch ICV platform for approximately 0.1 to 200 GPM and a recommended pressure range of 20 to 220 PSI. The actual design flow must be selected according to the system’s pressure-loss calculations, pipe velocity, available pressure, and downstream demand rather than treating the published maximum as a recommended operating point. The broad published range also allows the valve to serve compatible lower-flow zones when the complete installation is designed accordingly.
External and internal manual bleed options support local activation for testing and service. Captive bonnet screws reduce the chance of losing hardware during diaphragm access, while triple-tool screw heads work with common contractor tools. The flow-control stem can be used for zone balancing or controlled shutoff. This standard ICV-201G does not include Filter Sentry, although Hunter identifies Filter Sentry as a compatible option for suitable ICV installations.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
- Connect to compatible 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 alternate solenoid is installed.
- Size the valve using design flow, pressure loss, pipe velocity, and downstream demand.
- Flush the mainline before installation and allow adequate valve-box access for service.
- Filter Sentry, Accu Sync pressure regulation, DC-latching solenoids, and reclaimed-water components are separate options unless specifically ordered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the standard ICV-201G include Filter Sentry?
No. This listing is the standard 2-inch globe valve. Filter Sentry is a separate compatible configuration or add-on for supported ICV valves.
Can this valve be connected to a battery controller?
The included solenoid is 24 VAC. A compatible Hunter DC-latching solenoid must be installed for supported battery-operated controller systems.
Is 200 GPM the recommended flow?
No. It is the published upper flow limit. Select the actual design flow from pressure-loss, velocity, piping, and system-demand requirements.
