Rural Water - Quarter 3, 2008 - (Page 63) Silent Check Valves Our Milliken Flex Check® check valve has only one moving part – a resilient disc reinforced with steel – ensuring maintenance-free performance, quiet operation and long service life. This strong, innovative valve has undergone more than 1 million cycles during testing and not only showed no sign of wear but continued to provide 100% unrestricted flow. This valve has a 250 psi rating and is available in all sizes from 2”–24”. M-94 Fire Hydrant Resilient Wedge Valve Quiet as a Mouse Solid as a Rock 1-800-871-2194 www.uspvh.com DECATUR, ILLINOIS Butterfly Valves Tight Our Milliken® AWWA butterfly valves have ductile iron bodies and discs, with the rubber seat in the body for abrasion resistance and bubble-tight closure. For corrosion and abrasion resistance, high quality epoxy paint covers valve exteriors and on larger valves, also the interior – the interior of smaller valves is fully rubber lined. We offer valves from 3”– 48” in size with flanged and mechanical joint ends. as a Drum The M-94 Fire Hydrant with its solid construction, has no exposed bolts or nuts on the upper barrel and bonnet which means no bolts or nuts to corrode, seize, or disappear because of vandalism. What’s more, once the M-94 is installed you won’t have to “see” it again for quite some time. That’s because it’s designed to require very little attention. The strong ductile iron resists traffic damage and its self-lubricating grease chamber means no more adding oil periodically. But when maintenance is needed, the M-94 Fire Hydrant keeps things very simple. Our new line of resilient wedge valves is the perfect compliment for the M-94 hydrant. Regardless of where you look, there’s no exposed iron. The entire wedge is 100% encapsulated in rubber. It is corrosion resistant and easy turning. Like our hydrant, once installed our new RW valves need little attention. In addition, you get new manufacturing and a dedicated customer support team. Our M-94 and RW valves are now made in state-of-the-art, ISO9001 manufacturing plants that specialize in this type of hydrant and valve production. Both valve and hydrant are built solid inside and out. 1-800-871-2194 www.uspvh.com DECATUR, ILLINOIS 1-800-871-2194 www.uspvh.com D E C AT U R , I L L I N O I S Pipe Repair Products Swing Check Valves Our Mueller® swing check valves are built to maintain years of dependable operation.
