Every line needs its own plan.
This overview describes the method. Koppl reviews the line conditions and required work before selecting equipment and procedures.
Discuss your projectWhy add an insertion valve
A utility may need a new permanent control point where existing valve spacing is inadequate or a planned repair would otherwise affect a much larger service area. Insertion methods are designed to add that control on an active main.
The project advantages
Many installations use one primary excavation, limit draining and chlorination, and reduce customer interruption. The resulting valve remains as an asset for future operation and maintenance.
Selecting a valve system
Pipe material, diameter, pressure, outside diameter, condition, orientation, access, coating, owner standards, and the desired valve behavior all influence the selected system.
Why limitations matter
Nominal size ranges and published pressure ratings vary by manufacturer, pipe type, and configuration. A technical review is required to confirm the exact system available for a specific line.
What to send Koppl
Share the pipe size, material, wall thickness if known, operating pressure and temperature, media, line location, access, timing, and the work that needs to happen. Include current photographs and drawings.
