Valve Insertion (Insta-Valve)

Our valve insertion methods allow Municipal Pipe Services to insert a specialty gate valve directly into an existing water or waste water main - while the existing pipeline is under working pressure, without interruption of flow or service.

Our insta-valve consists of a stainless steel body with a brass stem insert, providing positive shut offs and control of piping fluid.

Tight quarters, utilities in the way, curb cuts or pavement removal, with this method problems are eliminated as work can be accomplished in a minimum area of excavation.

Valve Insertions are performed on the
following types of pipe
Carbon Steel
Copper
Galvanized Steel
Stainless Steel
Transite/ACP
  
Brass
Cast Iron
Ductile Iron
PVC and MORE

12" Insta-Valve installed on a asbestos pipe. There was a 8' x 6' pit cut in middle of the intersection. Proper shoring was installed. Work was done in approximately 2 1/2 hours. Work started at 11 am and was repaved by 3:30pm.

This valve insertion was installed in a 12" ductile iron pipe. It takes about 2 hours to install 10" and 12". 30 minutes to 60 minutes to install 4" to 8". The fastest our crew has performed a valve insertion is 19 minutes. We have installed 9 valves in one 8 hour day.

A 32 acre lagoon went septic. The forced sewage needed to go to the second cell but the valve to the 32 acre lagoon would not function. This valve was installed live in the ductile pipe under presure. 4" to 12" is currently available.
