AVK's Gate Valves: Setting a New Standard for Fire Protection
One of the highlights of our showcase at Intersec 2024 is AVK's Flanged Gate Valve with Wrench Nut, UL/FM approved for fire protection applications up to 70°C. AVK has meticulously designed this fire gate valve Dubai with a focus on safety, durability, and unmatched performance.
Key Features
Built-in Safety: AVK gate valves are engineered with safety at the forefront of every detail. The wedge is fully vulcanised in a double bonding process, using AVK's own drinking water approved EPDM rubber compound. This unique composition ensures a remarkably low compression set, allowing the valve to regain its original shape seamlessly after compression.
Triple Stem Seal System: The gate valves boast a high-strength stem combined with a thorough corrosion protection system. This triple stem seal system ensures unparalleled reliability in the most demanding conditions.
Innovative Design for Contamination Prevention: The wedge core in ductile iron is fully encapsulated in drinking water approved EPDM in a 2-step vulcanization process. This not only forms a robust rubber-iron bond, preventing corrosion underneath the rubber, but also eliminates the risk of stagnant water collection, averting potential contamination issues.
Stainless Steel Stem with Superior Strength: The gate valves feature a stainless steel stem with rolled threads, providing exceptional strength and durability.
Bonnet Security: A round bonnet gasket, fixed in a groove in the bonnet, prevents blowouts during pressure surges. Counterbored and hot melt-sealed bonnet bolts in stainless steel, encircled by the bonnet gasket, further ensure no contact with the water, maintaining the integrity of the system.
Full Bore and Clear Way: With a large through bore in the wedge, AVK gate valves guarantee a full bore and clear way, optimising water flow and system efficiency.
Low Operating Torque: These gate valves are designed for ease of use with low operating torque, making them efficient and user-friendly.
Robust Coating: The fusion-bonded epoxy coating, RAL 3000, acc. to DIN 30677, enhances the durability of the valves, providing an extra layer of protection against corrosion and environmental factors.
