Inserting Butterfly Valve IB

The Inserting Butterfly Valve (IB) system allows for the installation of a butterfly valve directly onto a live main pipeline under pressure. Using specialized equipment and a divided tee connection, the valve is inserted without interrupting service, making it ideal for retrofitting, repairs, or network upgrades in active water supply systems.

Live Installation Under Pressure
Enables valve insertion on pressurized mains—no shutdown required, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Standard-Compliant Components
- The butterfly valve, sliding parts, and operation mechanisms are all ISO standard compliant. - Manual or electrical speed reducers can be attached for operational flexibility.
Flexible Configuration
- For DN350mm and above, assistant valves can be added to support operation.- - Optional drainage or cleaning systems can be integrated as needed.
Safe and Proven Equipment
Installation uses high-performance tools, including: - Inserting divided tee - Work valve - Pressure-resistant companion flange - Cosmo borer - Insertion machine
