The PipeBurst Pro TVFS 1" Stainless Steel Valve is constructed of 316 series Stainless Steel. This Stainless Steel’s high nickel content will not allow it to rust or otherwise deteriorate. It is built to provide decades of dependable service. It’s rated at 600 psi, which is typically more than a 6:1 safety factor, as most applications do not run above 100 psi.

Its 3 piece bolted construction allows for simple and quick disassembly and reassembly for difficult or tight installations. This premium feature also makes it very simple to install new valve seats and seals in the unlikely event that maintenance is ever required. It has proven itself to provide tens of thousands of openings and closings; thus lasting indefinitely in this application. The valve stem (the most likely spot to leak on most valves) is constructed using 2 methods of sealing:

1. A pair of twin O-rings as the primary seal, and:
2. A secondary PTFE lubricated thrust seal.

Thus, any one seal can fail and still leave sufficient sealing surfaces in place to avoid external leakage.

The Valve also comes equipped with a Manual Override Handle; thus providing fail-safe access to control the valve manually, if required, for any peculiar reason. Its ¼ turn handle is simple to use and highly visible (bright yellow in color) for quick access.

With proper maintenance and the occasional use of the 1" SS Valve Repair Kit, most likely you will never need it but the 1" Stainless Steel Valve can be used as a replacement valve for the Automated Water Leak Detection System.
