Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ICV-151G
Product Overview
The Hunter ICV-151G is a standard 1-1/2-inch commercial globe irrigation valve with female NPT connections, integrated flow control, and a conventional 24 VAC solenoid. It is designed for large residential, commercial, municipal, campus, park, and athletic-field systems that need a serviceable valve across a broad pressure and flow range. The body uses glass-filled nylon construction, a fabric-reinforced EPDM diaphragm and seat, and a double-beaded diaphragm seal design.
Hunter rates the 1-1/2-inch ICV platform for approximately 0.1 to 150 GPM and a recommended pressure range of 20 to 220 PSI. The actual design flow should be selected according to pressure loss, pipe velocity, available pressure, and downstream zone demand rather than using the published maximum as a target. The low end of the range also supports compatible lower-flow applications when the full irrigation system is properly designed.
External and internal manual bleed options allow local valve activation during testing or service. Captive bonnet screws reduce loose parts during diaphragm access, while triple-tool screw heads can be serviced with common contractor tools. The flow-control stem can be used for zone balancing or controlled shutoff during maintenance. This standard model does not include Filter Sentry, although Hunter identifies Filter Sentry as a user-installed option for compatible ICV valves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ICV-151G include Filter Sentry?
No. This is the standard valve. Choose the ICV-151G-FS configuration when a factory-installed Filter Sentry mechanism is required.
Can the valve be used with a battery-operated controller?
The included solenoid is 24 VAC. A compatible Hunter DC-latching solenoid must be installed for supported battery-controller applications.
Should the valve be selected only by pipe size?
No. Confirm connection size, design flow, pressure loss, operating pressure, water quality, and controller type before ordering.
