IVL Flow Control’s new C-Valve is said to offer leading-edge advanced pressure management, eliminating the need for a costly and time-consuming by-pass in water supply networks.
Operating from zero flow and a maximum weight of just 19Kg for the largest 150mm cartridge, handling of the C-Valve is said to be a one-person operation, requiring no lifting equipment.
As well as being easy to install (no excavation required) and very easy to maintain, according to the firm, the C-Valve seemingly significantly reduces the health and safety issues caused by working in a confined space.
The new C-Valve has an intelligent manifold construction, says IVL Flow Control, and can be tailored to suit the largest pipe diameters. And because each valve cartridge is situated within the manifold, it can be individually isolated for ease of maintenance, without causing interruption to customer supply – which could then lead to damaging SIM (Service Incentive Mechanism) Points or OPA (Overall Performance Assessment) Points.
