    Flanged Ball Valves

    American Valve's Model 4000 Cast Iron Flanged-End Ball Valve revolutionized the PVF industry. With the addition of Model 4000D in Ductile Iron and Model 4001 in 316 Stainless Steel, we are raising the standards for ball valve technology.

    The 4000 and 3700 Series feature a Teflon-fused ball that is more durable, less succeptible to accumulating buildup and longer lasting than an ordinary unprotected ball.
  • This adds to a long list of advantages over other types of valves.
  • Teflon® fused solid ball and Teflon® seat design.
  • Quarter turn provides instant shutoff.
  • Easy to open and close.
  • Easy to automate. Built-in mounting pads require no special brackets.
  • Much more resistant to wear...especially in corrosive applications.
  • Handle position shows immediately whether it is open or closed.
  • Throttling is permitted... open and shut are not the only working positions.
  • Can be locked in either open of closed position.
  • Easy to manipulate quarter-turn handle allows for smaller, lighter, less expensive actuator!

    Flanged Steel Gate Valve
    Cast stainless steel body and investment cast yoke. In fabricated valves, leakage of corrosive medium due to neglected maintenance on the packing, or line pressure surges causes corrosion and failure of most carbon steel or cast iron components. An all stainless steel valve offers better corrosion resistance than cast iron lined valves. The total cost of ownership becomes more attractive than the initial savings.
       
    Flanged Butterfly Tapping Valves
    The Dylan Cartridge Valve® is a patented revolutionary process for hottaping existing systems then adding any valve desired. This breakthrough technology enables the tapping of butterfly valves and also enables tapping without leaving a permanent valve. Likewise, the Dylan Cartridge Valve® if installed in a new system enables a reliable future isolation point when necessary.

    Welcome To Our Website


    Tapping valves are used to isolate main line media while the main line is tapped mechanically. Some tapping valves are designed to be used while the line is under working pressure and in operation, eliminating system downtime. We have done all the dirty work and reduced the never ending lists of tapping valves to our favorite cost effective, durable, time tested, dependable valves you will need for any job.

     

    Tapping Valves Description

    Tapping valves are installed using a variety of techniques, including hot tapping, wet tapping, line stopping or plugging, or pipe freezing. Other applications use tapping valves for installing flow meters, probes, or control valves into an existing line. Tapping valves may be installed using a hot tap or a wet tap technique. A hot tap or a wet tap is installed using a pressure-contained tapping machine to attach a tapping valve to the existing pipeline. Hot tapping uses a nozzle or split tee welded to the surface of the existing pressurized pipe. Hot taps are used in refineries, heating and cooling applications, and steam lines. Wet taps use a tapping sleeve that is bolted to the existing pipeline to make a branch connection. Wet tapping is used on sewer or water systems.
