AGRU Kunststofftechnik GmbH, a global manufacturer of innovative plastic products has introduced a new generation of the AGRU pressure tapping valve (DAV). The new tapping valve helps to create re-closable branches in no time on PE pipes for potable water and gas.
During the development of the valve, the best attributes of existing pressure tapping valves were combined with new innovative features. Premium material PE 100-RC and a maintenance-free design enable a reliable operation with highest safety. An easy-to-install mounting device allows a smooth installation of the pressure tapping valve (DAV).
Fully embedded heating wire provides easy-to-clean welding surface, protection against corrosion and uniform and material friendly heat distribution in the welding area. Premium material PE 100-RC provides outstanding resistance against slow crack growth and cost savings through installation without sand bed.
Special design provides fast installation through mounting belt and screws, reduced space requirements, low weight, short welding times, cutting punch made of stainless steel for chipless tapping, low torque during the tapping process, actuation with max. 10.5 turns, fixed stops against over-twisting and low pressure loss. Traceability of each part is guaranteed through running serial number and traceability code.
