Water Network Solutions at WETEX 2026

Managing a water network means keeping many things under control at the same time. Operators need to isolate sections safely, maintain the right pressure, manage trapped air and keep both existing and new pipelines working reliably.

This requires more than selecting individual valves. It requires a range of solutions developed around the different conditions found across a water network.

AVK, Denmark brings this wider approach to water infrastructure. With extensive expertise in valves and flow-control solutions, the company serves water supply, wastewater treatment and other infrastructure applications across global markets.

At WETEX 2026, visitors to our stand can discover how AVK technologies support different stages and functions within a water network.

Four AVK Solutions for Different Water Network Needs

Water networks can include new pipelines, older pipe systems, pumping stations, reservoirs and distribution lines. Each part of the network can face a different operating challenge.

Here is how the four AVK solutions address them.

DN100 Spigot Gate Valve – Connecting with Existing AC Pipelines

Working with an existing AC pipeline can make valve replacement or network upgrades more challenging.

The DN100 Spigot Gate Valve is made specifically for connection to AC pipes. Its spigot ends allow the valve to connect with suitable couplings, making it a practical option for existing drinking-water networks.

The valve also provides resilient-seated shut-off when a section of pipeline needs to be isolated.

It can be considered for:

Existing AC water pipelines
Pipeline rehabilitation
Network extensions
Valve replacement
Drinking-water distribution

For projects involving older infrastructure, the spigot end gate valve provides both the required connection and reliable isolation.

DN100 Gate Valve – Reliable Isolation When It Is Needed

Every water network needs points where the flow can be completely shut off.

This may be required during maintenance, pipeline repair, equipment replacement or network upgrades.

The DN100 Gate Valve provides this basic but important function. Its flanged connection makes it suitable for standard pipeline installations, while the resilient-seated design supports reliable shut-off.

The flanged gate valve can be used across:

Drinking-water networks
Water distribution pipelines
Pumping stations
Transmission lines
Treated-water systems

Most of the time, the valve may remain fully open. But when maintenance is required, it provides the isolation needed to work on a specific part of the network.

Air Valves - Managing Air Within Water Distribution Pipelines

Air can enter water pipelines during filling, draining or normal operation. If it remains trapped within the network, it can affect hydraulic performance and create operational challenges.

The Air Valve is designed to manage air within water pipelines by supporting the controlled release of accumulated air and helping maintain efficient pipeline operation.

Air valves are commonly used across:

Drinking water networks
Water distribution pipelines
Transmission pipelines
Pumping systems
Water infrastructure projects

Effective air management is an important part of maintaining stable and reliable water network operation.

Control Valve - Regulating Flow Within Water Infrastructure

Water distribution systems often require controlled flow and pressure management to maintain suitable operating conditions across different sections of a network.

The Control Valve is designed for applications where automated regulation of flow or pressure is required within water infrastructure.

These valves can support:

Water distribution networks
Water transmission systems
Pumping stations
Pressure management applications
Municipal water infrastructure

Selecting a suitable control valve allows operators to regulate network conditions according to the requirements of the water system.

These four products solve very different problems.

The DN100 Spigot Gate Valve helps connect and isolate existing AC pipelines.

The DN100 Gate Valve provides isolation in flanged water networks.

Together, they show how different valve technologies can support the operation of a complete water network.

One Network, Different Challenges

A water network may need all four functions at different locations.

For example, one section may need a drinking water gate valve for isolation, while another requires an air relief valve for water pipelines at a high point.

A different area may need a water pressure control valve because the incoming pressure is higher than the downstream network requires.

This is why valve selection should begin with a simple question:

What does this part of the network need the valve to do?

Once that is clear, selecting the right type of valve becomes much easier.

Explore the Four AVK Solutions at Our Stand

The Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition gives contractors, consultants, utilities and project teams an opportunity to see these AVK solutions together.

At Sheikh Saeed Hall 1 (SS1), Stand SS-C8, visitors can explore:

DN100 Spigot Gate Valve
DN100 Gate Valve

You can also discuss your project requirements, including pipeline type, connection method, isolation needs, air management and pressure control.

For professionals exploring WETEX 2026 exhibitors, this makes it easier to understand which AVK solution fits which part of the water network.

If you are planning a new water network, upgrading existing infrastructure or looking for a valve supplier at WETEX 2026, visit our stand to explore the AVK range.

Rather than looking at each valve as a separate product, you can see how isolation, air release and pressure control work together across a water distribution system.
