ScaleRx: The Answer to Your Hard Water Problems
Increase Appliance Efficiency
Optimize Flow Rate
Limescale deposits can also build up in pipe systems, slowing down flow rate and decreasing water pressure across campus. Descaling is hard work, and your facilities team doesn’t have extra time to waste. Prevent limescale from the start with ScaleRX. When you install ScaleRX, you’ll never have to worry about replenishing salt, cleaning or replacing resin beds, or backflushing your system again. Save time and money with our ScaleRX maintenance-free scale inhibitor, and provide healthy water to your entire campus without the labor and mess that come with traditional water softeners.

Avoid Downtime withBoiler Valve Replacements from American Valve
In any university facility, the reliability of your boiler valves is critical to ensure hot water is readily accessible across campus. A leaky or corroded boiler water valve poses significant challenges, leading to steam loss, energy inefficiency, and potential water system damage. If you’re struggling with a boiler valve that sticks or binds, American Valve has the solution for you. Our 4000 Series ball valves with patented PFA*-fused balls are engineered to eliminate sticking, binding, leaks, and corrosion, ensuring even heating and water pressure.
Our valves are a direct replacement for gate valves throughout your campus, providing an additional layer of protection against leaks and corrosion in steam, condensate, chilled water, and potable water applications alike.
4000 Series Valve Benefits
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 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 campus facility management.
American Valve builds valves that not only ensure easy quarter-turn operation and positive shutoff in steam, chilled water, and waste lines, but are also certified to NSF/ANSI standards 61 and 372 for potable systems.
