Hunter HCV Check Valves for Low-Head Drainage Prevention
Hunter HCV Check Valves
The Hunter HCV Check Valve is the ultimate solution to stop low-head drainage in irrigation systems installed on uneven terrain. When water in the pipes seeks out low points after the system shuts down, puddling, runoff, and wasted water can result. The HCV eliminates this by holding water in the line until pressure drops below the check setting, keeping landscapes neat and efficient.
Easily adjustable from the top of the valve, the HCV compensates for elevation changes up to 11 m (32 ft), making it ideal for sloped landscapes, terraced gardens, or sites with dramatic grade changes. Constructed to Schedule 80 specifications, the HCV is built tougher than ever to withstand high pressures and deliver long-lasting reliability.
By installing the HCV between the riser and sprinkler head, contractors and property owners can instantly prevent puddling and water waste, saving time, money, and valuable resources.
