Valve Assist from Modec is a range of portable power tools designed to take the hard work out of operating manual valves. Valves can become difficult to operate for a number of reasons. Mostly due to long periods where the valve is never operated. During this time, the moving parts within deteriorate, lubrication dries up and corrosion may set in.
A program of valve exercising is essential to keeping valves in good working order and identifying maintenance needs. This is where ‘Valve Assist’ comes into its own. Each Modec portable drive tool is equipped with a mounting kit designed to couple the drive tool to the valve input shaft or handwheel. The tool incorporates a reaction device design to absorb any torque load when the valve encounters a tight spot or stops on its seat.
This all makes Modec Valve Assist a compelling proposition to significantly speed up operation and also reduce the risk of strain injury to the operator.
