Introducing the NEW EasyFit Ball Valve

05/03/2010

We are delighted to announce the launch of another ‘first’ for the industry with our new and unique Easyfit ball valve.



Unlike other valves available to customers, the Durapipe Easyfit valve allows customers to brand or label the valve through specialist software that is provided with the product. This innovative technology means that companies can easily ‘own-brand’ the valve or alternatively label the valve with the chemical that the pipework is carrying, increasing plant efficiency as pipelines are instantly identifiable.



Launched as part of the Durapipe FIP system, the unique valve is designed to cater for simple isolation applications that do not require the complex properties that other valves in the Durapipe FIP range can offer. This also means that customers do not have to pay for additional and expensive valve features that they may not need for their applications.

Durapipe Easyfit also simplifies the installation process through the versatile nature of the valve handle. In addition to opening and closing the valve itself, the handle can also be used to tighten the double union nuts during installation. This makes it an ideal solution for installations that require a valve to be fitted into tight corners as minimum space is needed to install it; the handle uses the valve stem as a pivot in order to tighten the valve ends.

James Roper, our Industrial Brand Manager comments: “We wanted to provide our customers with a simple but invaluable product. We are extremely pleased with the new Easyfit valve and exceptionally proud of the accompanying ground-breaking technology, which allows companies to label the product as they wish."

“We feel the new Easyfit valve offers practicalities to companies that are unmatched by any other manufacturers and we are already experiencing a massive demand for the product.”

Available in sizes up to 2"/63mm, the Easyfit valve will be manufactured in PVC and PVC-C materials and is ideal for a variety of industrial applications including chemical, water treatment and processing plants.
