Description

The TruDesign Aquavalve is the most versatile valve on the market today. The Aquavalve is designed and made in New Zealand, for demanding marine sanitation applications. The Aquavalve is typically used in marine toilet applications where protection for the environment necessitates the need to control effluent discharge - in many countries this is governed by regulation. The effluent can be held in a holding tank for later discharge overboard or to a shore side facility. The TruDesign Aquavalve is moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability.

Features:

Manufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - High strength and light weight

Stainless steel 316 fasteners - Will not corrode in salt laden air

Easy installation - With a range of straight, 90∞ and 120∞ tails, and two seal options, plumbing in confined spaces is made easy

Clear and easy to understand labeling of positions - OPEN (in green) when the handle is turned. The operator knows exactly what direction the flow is going in. Valve handles have a red ìclosedî arrow. The operator knows exactly what direction the flow is not going in

Handle position lockable - Legislation in some regions require the overboard discharge handle to be locked into the holding tank position when in ëno dischargeí zones

Available in black or white - Fits in with colour schemes in plumbing areas allowing easy identification of components

Pressure tested - All valves are pressure tested to ensure quality and safety in respect to sealing and operation

Silicon seal - The AquavalveÆ is the only valve on the market today with smooth movement and an excellent seal with good wear resistance

Composite spanner included - Avoids using pipe wrenches that gouge the fitting. Facilitates access in tight places

Fascia plate on standard model can be removed to reveal simple ìopen - open - inletî labeling. Where product is not used for marine toilets, all toilet references are removed

Large operating temperature range - Suitable for all marine environments, from -20∞C to +100∞C

International Standards and Specifications:

Legislation forbidding the dumping of marine waste has been in place in areas such as the Great Lakes (USA) for many years. With 124 countries now party to MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV for ships, smaller vessels are now being targeted. Legislation in many countries now dictates the use of holding tanks near shore, or in defined areas

By installing a diverting valve, the user has the ability to hold sewage when required by law, and can pump directly overboard when allowed

Has the ability to be locked to comply with local legislation

Designed to withstand the rigors of marine toilet operation

The Aquavalve is resistant to most chemicals used in toilets. Recommendations from toilet manufacturers should be followed with regards to chemicals and lubrication

As per marine toilet use best practice, all wastes should be fully flushed into the holding tank to reduce the chance of buildup and permeation issues

The Aquavalve is a diverting valve.

The rotor seal is designed to operate under low pressure, and therefore may not be suitable for vacuum toilets depending on the position of the valve relative to the toilet
