Assured Automation Announces New 3-Way PVC Ball Valve: PTP Series
 | Press Release: |  |
| Oct 25, 2011 — CLARK, N.J. -- Engineers tasked with improving efficiency and reducing cost find Assured Automation’s 3-way PVC ball valves provide both. Rather than using two 2-way automated valves to control the flow of liquids, a single 3-way valve does the job with fewer components and lower cost. Better Economics With a single automated 3-way valve, there is no need to purchase and install multiple actuators and solenoids which saves I/O space in the control panel. A single 3-way valve eliminates extra overhead and installation time -- and money. In addition, eliminating the second valve, actuator, and solenoid reduces the weight of the piping system and occupies less space. Waste Water Treatment Plant Lesson A local waste treatment plant experienced a costly error using multiple valves to divert the flow of waste to its treatment tanks. Two valves were on a tee assembly. When one valve was open the other valve was closed-diverting flow from one tank to a second tank. When a solenoid coil burned out on one of the valves, the second valve failed to turn, leaving a closed piping system with a pump running. The pump dead headed and became irreparably damaged. The consequences were significant – and expensive. The plant was shut down until the waste stream could be repaired. Best Practices for Diverting Flow Assured Automation recommended replacing multiple valves with their L Port PTP Series 3-way PVC ball valve. The 3-way L port design always has a port open, even while in transition, so there is never a chance for dead heading a pump. The waste water plant supervisor worked with Assured Automation to improve their flow design, and subsequently replaced all of their multiple ball valves with PTP Series valves. The 3-way valves have made the piping design much simpler, and they have been running flawlessly for over a year. Online Configurator Assured Automation has added an online configurator for the PTP Series 3-way PVC ball valve to make it easy and quick for engineers to specify their requirements and obtain all relevant information needed to make a selection. Within a few key clicks, engineers select: • Valve Size • End Connections • Actuator type (pneumatic, electric) • Accessories (limit switches, solenoid valves) When selecting among the configurator options, engineers are able to: • See the complete valve design • Generate prices and quotes • Order immediately online About Assured Automation: Assured Automation is a privately held company that sells automated valves, actuators, flow meters and valve accessories.
