Insta-Valve 250 Reduces Shutdown Area For One Of Largest Military Installations In The U.S.

Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valve has proven to be a game-changer for a military installation, as it successfully minimized water service outages and created a safer repair environment. This innovative solution came to the rescue when the installation faced a water leak on a 12-inch line, with no isolation valves nearby.

By utilizing the insertion valve, the repair crew was able to carry out the necessary repairs with a smaller shutdown radius. This meant that the water service to 13 buildings and two fire tanks could be maintained without any disruption. Not only did this prevent inconvenience for the occupants of these buildings, but it also ensured that the crucial fire protection systems remained fully operational.

Furthermore, the use of the insertion valve allowed the repair crew to work in a safer environment. By eliminating the need for a larger outage area, the risk of accidents and injuries was significantly reduced. Additionally, the solution eliminated the potential hazards associated with a water vault, further enhancing the safety of the repair process.
