Advanced Valve Technologies (AVTTM) has strengthened its established relationship with Ferguson Waterworks. The company has entered into a distributor and installer agreement covering the Arizona and New Mexico regions of the United States.
Ferguson Waterworks has been working with AVT, a manufacturer of insertion valves, for eight years. The company has successfully installed more than 200 4 to 12” AVT EZ Valves® across a range of materials: underground line stopping solutions on DI AC and C900 pipelines. The company has also completed several large-size installs including a 20” EZ Valve installed on a ductile iron line. This line controlled the flow of a one-million-gallon water tank that fed 32 homes in the Rio Rancho region of New Mexico and installing the EZ Valve under pressure meant the residents did not face having their water turned off.
As part of the agreement, three technicians, who were already experienced in the install of the smaller AVT EZ Valve, were trained to install the valve which is designed to last for decades. This enhanced partnership means Ferguson Waterworks now has highly experienced teams trained to install the full range of AVT EZ Valves across the region. They will have increased access to valves and install kits meaning they can respond to the need of the cities they service even quicker.
