Applications
Industrial and Mechanical Solutions
Refineries, tank farms, process plants, and many other industrial and mechanical operations require a constant supply of running water to remain operational. If a break or leak occurs on a water line or a piece of equipment fed by water, such as booster pumps, require repair or maintenance, many times, operations must be halted.
Having the equipment on hand to avoid shutdowns save industrial and mechanical operations millions of dollars a year, and is a vital part of any maintenance contractor's toolkit.

Fire Hydrants
Across the US alone there are nearly 9 million* fire hydrants, many of which are not operational due to their need for repair.
In many cases repairs to these vital resources are postponed time and time again as shutting off their water supply would lead to local businesses and homes, also losing their water supply. This leaves water districts and municipalities with the delicate balancing act of ensuring enough hydrants are in operation, should they be needed, while not disrupting their communities to carry out repairs.
Typically fire hydrants are supplied by a ‘T’ line. This is a small section of water line that is fed by the main line running along a street. Conventional water valves require a large section of pipe to be available when installed due to the need for at least two excavations for the fitting of line stops and a valve, but the AVT EZ Valve, an insertion valve, requires just one small excavation meaning they can be fit on this small ‘T’ line and isolate the hydrant without having any effect on the rest of the local water supply.

Addition of Control Points
Many water networks are decades old and when originally created, were not designed to handle the new infrastructure that was added over the years.
This issue affects thousands of communities around the world and in many cases, water companies choose to insert new valves to create control points around their networks. These points enable water network operators to isolate small areas should they need to repair burst mains or carry out routine maintenance.
The AVT EZ Valve, an insertion valve, is proving to be the valve of choice when it comes to creating these new control points as it can be installed with just one excavation being made, on a relatively short section of pipe and without the need to shut off the water supply.
