AVK recently revealed its new range of gate valves featuring its patented Supa Maxi universal tensile coupling end which connects to any pipe material as well as a polyethylene (PE) pipe end that enables direct welding into PE pipelines.
This fully welded PE pipe system offers a range of benefits including reduced risk of leakage, ease of installation and enhanced durability.
The valve itself is based on AVK’s renowned gate valve design with unique wedge and corrosion protection. AVK valves comply to the highest standards and hold worldwide drinking water approvals for coating, rubber and brass materials, and for the valve itself.
The PE pipe end offers a valve/pipe connection that is as strong as the pipe itself with pre-mounted standard PE pipes. Valves with PE pipe ends eliminate the need for couplings with the risk of leaks, and the joints will be as strong as the pipe itself. In addition, no bolts can come loose and leak if the ground settles around the valve.
