Advanced Valve Technologies (AVT) has launched its ground-breaking EZ Valve insertion valve in Spain via a new strategic partnership with B Continuity Solutions, an asset management and maintenance company that focuses on ensuring businesses can continue to operate even during times of repair and maintenance. This ethos sits hand-in-hand with AVT’s drive to keep water flowing while valves are installed on live lines.
The AVT EZ Valve uses an integral isolation gate, which when operated after the slot has been milled into the pipe, allows the EM machine, which milled the slot, to be removed and the resilient wedge installed. This process means the valve can be installed on a live line while the water is flowing. The resilient wedge needs to be lowered just 2/3 of the way into the pipe to commission the installation meaning users have the choice of when to turn off their water.
