Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: PGV-100-MB
Product Overview
The Hunter PGV-100-MB is a 1-inch screw-top irrigation valve with a male-threaded inlet, barb outlet, and no flow-control stem. It is designed for residential and light-commercial irrigation systems that use a compatible barb connection on the downstream side. The model uses Hunter’s standard PGV valve architecture with a double-beaded diaphragm, reverse-flow solenoid design, internal and external manual bleed, and a factory-installed 24 VAC solenoid.
Hunter rates the 1-inch PGV family for approximately 0.2 to 40 GPM and a recommended pressure range of 20 to 150 PSI. Actual design flow should be selected according to pipe size, pressure loss, available pressure, and downstream demand rather than treating the published maximum as the target operating point. This model does not include a flow-control handle, so zone balancing and manual throttling must be handled elsewhere in the irrigation design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PGV-100-MB include flow control?
No. Hunter identifies this model as a no-flow-control configuration.
Is the outlet threaded?
No. This model uses a barb outlet. Confirm the downstream pipe material and required connection hardware before ordering.
Can it be used with a battery controller?
The included solenoid is 24 VAC. A compatible Hunter DC-latching solenoid configuration is required for supported battery-controller applications.
