Communities all over Australia depend on water utilities to provide an essential service, so it’s critical that their assets are up to scratch and built for the task. In an effort to offer the sector both greater choice and exceptional quality solutions, AVK has expanded its range of resilient seated gate valves.
AVK is excited to introduce the new 91 and 51 models to its 570 series of resilient seated gate valves; high-quality flanged and socket valves, complete with all the essential features and benefits you would expect from AVK.
These new solutions offer:
- Low lead copper alloy wedge nut and thrust collar, which are designed to comply with the low lead requirements of the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) and New Zealand Building codes that will be mandatory in 2026.
- Reduced weight design that incorporates a slim line bonnet and gland flange improving general handling
- High AVK quality with local manufacturing, coating and individual pressure testing at the AVK Wingfield, South Australian facility.
- AVK has introduced these new valves into its Performance range, providing installers with a cost-effective, high‑quality option.
These new valves are available in both flanged and socket versions, ranging from DN80 to DN300 with a PN16 pressure rating. They are accompanied by the circle of confidence of StandardsMark and WaterMark and are WSAA appraised to AS/NZS 2638.2.
Installers can also choose to stay with or upgrade to the Premium 90 or 92 Series 570 models that they are accustomed to, which feature the traditional stainless steel gland flange.
This Premium range is the gateway to the Premium Plus range, which offers 16 value-add options for customisation. AVK provides a variety of gate/seat types, actuation options, gearboxes, extension spindles, materials, coatings and extended warranties to suit demanding water supply applications.
