Huntsville, AL -- Hydra-Stop® today announces the introduction of Insta-Valve® Plus, a resilient seat wedge valve that provides years of trouble-free operation, easy insertion, and high reliability. Through the use of advanced materials and new technologies this valve replacement system is more durable and highly resistant to breakage and leakage.
Insta-Valve Plus gives you unprecedented control of your distribution system. Now, valves can be easily be inserted wherever you need them in a fraction of the time that it used to take. “The Insta-Valve Plus is really easy to install,” states David Halopoff, Secretary for Halopoff & Sons and Project Manager for the City of Orange Cove. “After one day of training with Hydra-Stop, the crews were averaging 4-5 valve installations in an 8-hour shift.”
The new Plus design includes the industry standard bronze stem collar and a heavy duty valve stem for the strongest of valve operators. Insta-Valve Plus stops flow in all types of pipe (4” to 12”) including potable water mains, wastewater force and gravity mains, and industrial applications. It can be installed using existing Hydra-Stop equipment or as a stand alone system.
The sealing surfaces of the new Plus design have been completely re-engineered from the previous 360? vulcanized sealing surface. The new design consists of a compression molded hyperbolic parabola seating surface joined to the radial axis sealing area that optimizes the seal at both the pipe and the coupon removed location. Also important is the addition of a new centering plate for improved positioning control.
The complexity and expense of valve insertions are reduced with Insta-Valve Plus. Just install the fitting, make a line tap, and then install the valve, all without breaking the potable system seal. Difficult work conditions and time delays are avoided with Insta-Valve Plus. It requires only one cut, no reaming, and avoids excessive pipe strength loss.
