The series 03 valve is our small diameter valve (1-inch to 3-inch) with push-on or NPT threaded ends. These valves meet the applicable requirements of AWWA C509.

Features:

• All AVK gate series 03 valves meet or exceed the applicable requirements of AWWA C509
• Stainless steel stem - standard
  • Lead free
  • Threads rolled in a separate cold pressing process to enhance strength
  • Rolled threads ensure smooth thread edges and low operating torques
  • Twice the yield strength required by AWWA eliminates bent and broken stems
• Stainless steel bolts - standard
  • Packing gland bolts and bonnet bolts are stainless steel for corrosion resistance
  • Bonnet bolts are countersunk and capped with hot melt to totally isolate the bolts from corrosive environments
  • O-ring bonnet gasket wraps each bolt to prevent corrosion
  • Bonnet blow offs due to bolt failure eliminated
• Fully encapsulated wedge with EPDM - standard
  • Ductile iron or bronze wedge fully encapsulated in EPDM rubber with an integral bronze stem nut for optimum corrosion protection and precision wedge tracking
  • EPDM resists attack from chloramines
• Wiper ring - to prevent impurities from entering the stem and to protect the o-rings.
• Two o-ring stem seals to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear - replaceable under full pressure
• Third o-ring stem seal protects upper stem from impurities entering from the water way
• Coating to AWWA C550 - Electrostatically applied fusion bonded epoxy coating inside and outside for excellent corrosion resistance
• 100% testing - All valves tested to 250 PSI / 500 PSI as required by AWWA.
