Upgrade to Reliability:
4000 Series Ball Valves from American Valve
One of the primary concerns with traditional valves lies in their susceptibility to leaks. Gate and butterfly valves have obstructions and exposed seating surfaces that accumulate minerals and debris. Over time seals become compromised, leading to leaks and inefficiency. 4000 Series ball valves from American Valve are free of obstructions and feature a patented PFA*-fused solid metal ball. This means that you can trust these valves to maintain a positive shutoff, eliminating the risks associated with damaging leaks and expensive maintenance operations to “exercise” valves periodically.
The 4000 Series stands out for its reliable ease of operation, a crucial feature for healthcare facility management teams who often need to make valve adjustments quickly. The non-stick lubricity of a PFA*-fused ball allows maintenance teams to act quickly and efficiently without the need of cheater bars or come-alongs to operate valves. This ease of use not only enhances the overall efficiency of your systems but also minimizes the downtime associated with maintenance tasks.
American Valve pioneered the process to fuse PFA* .008” into a solid metal ball, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion even where acidic waste is present—a common reason for valve failure. With a cast iron ball used in a cast iron body and a stainless steel ball inside a ductile iron or stainless steel body, 4000 Series ball valves can be used in applications where thermal expansion causes dissimilar metals to fail.
4000 Series ball valves have the same flange dimensions, bolt patterns, and ANSI B16.10 end-to-end dimensions to seamlessly replace any 125/150 class gate valve. The 4000 Series is also lighter and takes up less space. With a full port design, you won’t need to worry about flow restriction, providing a more efficient and modern solution tailored to the specific needs of hospital facility management.
Zero-Maintenance Scale Inhibitors Reduce Hospital Maintenance Needs
Hard water issues are pervasive, affecting nearly 90% of healthcare facilities like yours. Traditional water softening systems, while effective, demand significant labor and upkeep to combat limescale buildup. This translates into extensive downtime, increased maintenance costs, and a strain on your maintenance team. Enter ScaleRX®, American Valve’s innovative zero-maintenance scale inhibitor, designed to revolutionize the way you address hard water challenges in your healthcare facility.
Compared to traditional water softening systems that require frequent regeneration, backwashing, and the handling of bulky and expensive salt and a nearby power source, ScaleRX stands out as a zero-maintenance alternative. With ScaleRX, the need for constant monitoring, preventative maintenance, and manual interventions is eliminated. Its cutting-edge technology works proactively to prevent limescale formation, sparing your staff from the burden of extensive descaling chemicals and maintenance. This not only saves time but also contributes to a more streamlined and efficient operation of your plumbing and HVAC systems.
Incorporating ScaleRX into your health facility’s water systems is not just a commitment to water quality but also a strategic decision to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of equipment, minimize labor, and free your budget from the expense of maintaining water softeners. Make the switch to ScaleRX and experience a maintenance-free solution that reduces operating expenses and maintenance needs, ensures the longevity of your water systems, and contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective healthcare environment.
