The Hunter ST-1600-KIT is the first and only fully integrated solution designed to exceed the unique needs of the synthetic turf irrigation market. This versatile offering features an exclusive IBS Infill Barrier System that accommodates every field surface configuration, including infill turf, short non-infill turf, synthetic running track, and in-concrete installations. It also comes standard with our legendary gear-driven rotor technology for reliable, long-term performance.

All irrigation components are accessible through the top, making maintenance simple while keeping the surface intact, playable, and safe. The kit also includes a durable manifold featuring 3" galvanized ductile iron components with heavy-duty, grooved Victaulic™ type fittings. Combined with a slow-opening, low-pressure-loss control valve, isolation valve, drain valve, and quick coupler valve, you get the most robust and powerful system of its kind.

To provide a complete product specification, designers simply need to specify the kit. Ordering is a snap too, thanks to a handy system reference guide that list all the components installers and distributors need.

Advanced Features

ST ROTOR AND MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY

ST Infill Barrier System
ST-IBS-1600
The unique IBS Rubber Cover Kit includes vertical rubber barriers to retain infill material creating a safe transition where the rotor pops up. The IBS can also be trimmed to create a flat exposed surface area.

Infill Turf Example

Synthetic Track Example

Non-Infill Hockey Turf

Bare Cover Option
ST-FRP-1600
ST Adjustable Hanger Bracket
ST-BKT-1600
This bracket supports the rotor within the vault and provides vertical elevation adjustments allowing for a perfect surface transition.
ST Manifold and Isolation Valve
ST-BVF30-K
Rated to 500 PSI working pressure, this 3" galvanized ductile iron assembly includes Victaulic™ type grooved connections, a butterfly isolation valve, a point of connection for the quick coupler, and a 1" brass drain valve.
ST Low-Loss, Slow-Opening Valve
ST-V30-KV: Heavy-duty control valve.
Valve: 3" grooved Victaulic type
Pressure loss: Ultra low (1.5 PSI at 325 GPM)
Manual control: Remote On-Off-Auto Selector and solenoid (not shown)
ST Flexible Stainless Inlet Hose
ST-H30-K
3" ultra-flexible stainless steel corrugated hose with stainless steel support braiding. Provides for minor offset and alignment of sub-mainline to the ST Manifold's inlet connection.

ST quick coupler bracket

ST-BKT-QCV
Bracket assures firm stabilization of quick coupler by attaching directly to the vault.

ST H-Block Manifold Supports

ST-SPT-K
Adjustable support stands include a large footprint base made from recycled tire rubber and a 2" vertically adjustable support rail (two required under manifold).

Inside the ST System

Open access to all components for ease of ongoing maintenance.

From the top

Smooth and safe surface area with quick-access ports.

ST VAULTS TOTAL top serviceability

Heavy-duty tapered fiberglass and polymer-concrete construction with precast holes for rotor, quick coupler valve, and remote on-off-auto selector manifold assembly.

The ST-V30-KV valve kit includes a remotely located On-Off-Auto selector and solenoid manifold assembly. These convenient features bring valve manual control functions and solenoid splice connections closer to the surface for easy access.

Quick couplers provide a convenient source of water for washing down spills and water-soluble paint. Integrated in-vault design eliminates the need for additional quick coupler enclosures.

Seamless integration

Blends in perfectly with the surrounding synthetic surface.
