AVT Products, including the EZ Valve®, an insertion valve for water mains, has proved itself to be quicker to install, uses an innovative cutting technique, and can be installed at full pressure with no need to shut off the water supply. AVT Products have simple designs that minimize risk to the environment and reduce costly downtime.
The AVT EZ Valve is available in sizes from 1.5" (40mm) to 24" (600mm) and is installed using the EZ Valve toolkit which includes the innovative EM (end milling) machines which cut a slot into the pipe meaning there is no possibility of coupon drop and the integrity of the pipe is not affected.
AVT Products are supported by experienced sales, engineering, and manufacturing professionals alongside a robust and all-encompassing training curriculum which means water professionals can become fully certified to install the AVT EZ Valve in just one day.
How does the AVT EZ Valve work?
The valve uses an integral isolation gate, which when operated after a slot has been milled across the pipe, allows the EM (end milling) machine to be removed and the resilient wedge installed. This process means the valve can be installed on a live line with no need to shut off the water.
