Val-Matic has become the first air valve manufacturer to have their complete line of air valves certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water use provided by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free products, material and components provided by WQA (Water Quality Association), after completion of testing and data verification.
Legislation in most states requires that drinking water systems must use certified products, if available. The new certification provides Val-Matic with a strong advantage in this marketplace. Verification of the certifications are available through UL’s website www.ul.com and WQA’s website www.wqa.org.
The company offers nine types of Air Valves from simple air release valve to surge-suppression combination air valve, provided standard with Type 316 stainless steel trim and floats ranging in sizes from ½” – 42”. The valves are produced in compliance with the AWWA C512 Standard and manufactured under a certified ISO 9001 quality system.
