BV is not a common abbreviation on these markers. "Bypass valve" is a possibility but only on large diameter mains (this one is shown as 100mm), and then you would expect to see SV (stop valve) as well. "Boundary valve" is another possibility, i.e. a valve connecting two distribution zones that is normally kept closed but can be opened in an emergency.
