Read how the city of Westfield, Massachusetts, discovered that a water main blocked the construction of a new box culvert and how Team EJP overcame this obstacle by installing 3 AVT EZ Valves without disrupting the town’s water supply. 

The AVT EZ Valve is a great choice for emergency repairs and a smart solution for planned and emergency pipeline maintenance on 4” to 24” diameter lines. This inline insertion valve can be installed on horizontal or vertical lines and requires a single excavation; so fixing a line is fast, with fewer disruptions to businesses and residents and less cost and risk for owners and operators. Ranked among the industry’s most innovative solutions, the light, and compact AVT EZ Valve is designed with a built-in isolation gate that allows the valve to be installed under pressure, a design feature that permits flow through the line while the repair is being made. It is durable, reliable, and certified to industry standards.

• A control valve is placed in-line, under pressure, with no interruption of service.
• No loss of industrial service or fire protection.
• Control valves provide protection should breaks occur or partial shut-downs become necessary.
• Helps to reduce the hazards of backflow contamination.

• Necessary excavation (dimensions provided by us).
• Trench shoring as needed.
• Outside diameter of pipe.
• Pipe in area of insertion must be clean and free of raised lettering.
• Special requirements may be necessary depending on existing conditions. Please contact your local sales office for further information.
