Matco-Norca’s 225 AWWA Ductile Valves are designed to meet the rigorous demands of waterworks and industrial applications. Crafted with precision and backed by Matco-Norca’s commitment to quality, these valves offer exceptional performance, durability, and reliability in critical fluid control systems.
Engineered for Excellence
The 225 AWWA Ductile Gate Valves are manufactured in compliance with the AWWA (American Water Works Association) C515 standard ensuring they meet stringent industry requirements for waterworks applications. Built from ductile iron, these valves are stronger and more impact-resistant than traditional cast iron, providing superior performance in challenging environments.
The robust ductile iron construction not only enhances strength but also delivers excellent resistance to corrosion, pressure, and temperature fluctuations. This durability makes the 225 AWWA Ductile Valves a dependable choice for long-term use in municipal, industrial, and commercial water systems.
Innovative Design and Features
Matco-Norca’s 225 AWWA Ductile Gate Valves are equipped with key design features that ensure reliable operation and ease of use:
Resilient-Seated Gate Design: The valve’s gate is coated with resilient rubber, providing a watertight seal when closed. This design minimizes the risk of leaks and enhances system efficiency.
Full Waterway Flow: With an unobstructed waterway, these valves reduce pressure loss and ensure efficient flow, making them ideal for high-volume systems.
Non-Rising Stem: The non-rising stem design is compact and particularly suited for underground or space-constrained installations. This feature also protects the stem threads from environmental contaminants.
Easy Operation: The valves feature a smooth-operating handwheel or operating nut for precise control, enabling operators to open or close the valve effortlessly.
Epoxy Coating: The interior and exterior surfaces are coated with 20 mil fusion-bonded epoxy, per AWWA C550 Standard, providing additional protection against corrosion and ensuring compliance with potable water safety standards.
Unique 3UP Valve Stem O-ring Configuration enhance leak prevention, increase durability, improve safety and ensure consistent pressure retention.
Versatile Applications
The 225 AWWA Ductile Gate Valves are built for versatility and can be used in a variety of systems, including:
Municipal Water Distribution: Ensuring reliable operation in drinking water and wastewater systems.
Industrial Applications: Managing fluid control in treatment plants and processing facilities.
Fire Protection Systems: Providing robust and dependable flow control for fire hydrants and sprinkler systems.
Agricultural Irrigation: Delivering efficient water management for large-scale irrigation networks.
Ease of Installation and Maintenance
Engineered with practicality in mind, the 225 AWWA Ductile Gate Valves feature mechanical joint and flanged connection options for seamless integration into existing systems. The compact, non-rising stem design simplifies installation in tight spaces, while the resilient-seated gate requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan. Regular inspections ensure the valves continue to perform optimally for years to come.
