With the ASV, irrigation systems that require backflow prevention for every zone can enjoy simple operation and trouble-free performance without the need to install a separate backflow preventer. This convenient all-in-one valve offers a host of features that professionals expect from a Hunter valve – a rugged diaphragm that provides a leak-proof seal, internal bleed for manual operation, stainless steel hardware and springs, stainless steel bonnet screws, and heavy-duty PVC construction that is both corrosion- and UV-resistant. The valve also includes flow control, allowing precise adjustment of the flow plus manual shutoff. For proven reliability in an anti-siphon/electric valve, depend on the ASV.
High grade construction Made of durable PVC and stainless steel to resist wear
Internal manual bleed Easy to use and keeps valve area dry
Standard flow control Adjust the flow of each zone on a system
Optional slip configuration Permits direct solvent connection to PVC pipe
Rigid diaphragm support Works to prevent stress failure in tough conditions
Captive solenoid plunger and anti-siphon poppet No lost parts during routine service
All Hunter valves feature internal manual bleed, ensuring a neat, dry valve box.
Saving time at a job site – whether for installation or a maintenance call – is always a primary concern. The slip version of the makes new installs as well as retrofits a speedy task. The slip configuration permits a solvent-weld connection directly to PVC pipe and eliminates the chance for threaded fitting leaks, thus it's a very adaptable valve for the residential market. Not to mention, the ASV is perfectly sized to replace existing valves without reworking piping. Now that's fast!
What do you do if a portion of your irrigated landscape is elevated above your main line (such as a hill or a slope), or if you have an isolated zone or drip applications? Install a heavy-duty AVB downstream of remote control valves to ensure that no unwanted water flows back into your system while it is not in operation.
