Elster Perfection PSV Polyethylene Shut-off Valves

Elster PerfectionPSV Polyethylene Shut-off Valves

Polyethylene Shut-off Valves2 Elster PerfectionPSV PolyethyleneShut-off ValvesElster Perfection’s PSV familyof polyethylene shut-off valvesoffers proven performanceand total compatibility with allPE gas distribution systems.PSV valves are an excellent choice for replacingnon-PE plastic curb valves and metallic valves,as well as for new installations. The polyethyleneconstruction of PSV valves eliminates the needfor metal-to-plastic transitions, as well ascorrosion inhibiting coatings, cathodic protection,federally mandated corrosion control inspection,and record keeping required of metallic valves.

Polyethylene Shut-off Valves3 Elster PerfectionPSV polyethylene shut-off valves for gas service linesBenefits Large port design for maximumgas flow Quarter turn actuation Maintenance-free operationrequires no cathodic protection,corrosion inhibiting coatings,federally mandated inspection andrecord keeping Permasert mechanical couplingsor fusion outlets Compatible with standard PEdistribution systems Available in PE 2406/2708 and3408/4710 Sizes 1/2” CTS through 8” IPS(Metric sizes available from 20mmto 225mm) Facilitates fullport, branch saddlehot taps Combo Valve: PSV polyethyleneshut off valve with integral ElsterPerfection Excess Flow ValveElster Perfection’s PSV shut-off valvesare available in sizes ranging from 1/2”through 8”. Permasert or fusion outletsare available for valves 2” and smallerwhile valves 3” and larger have fusionoutlets only. The PSV is molded fromdistribution pipe grade polyethylenematerials that meet or exceed therequirements of ASTM D 2513, US DOTPart 192, ISO 4437 and ANSI B16.40. ElsterPerfection’s PSV valves are pressure rated,per ANSI B16.40, to be equivalent to theSDR pressure rating of the PE piping.Operating temperatures for the PSV rangefrom -20 F to 100 F (-29 C to 38 C).Safe, reliable operation forreplacement or new valveapplicationsElster Perfection’s PSV operate with alow torque, one-quarter turn actuatorwith positive stops for dependable,fail-safe on-off operation. In addition,we designed the PSV to withstandexcessive torque, backfilling, soil loading,and “operating key” abuse. The valve’sstructural integrity combined with ElsterPerfection’s commitment to quality makethe PSV a safe, reliable alternative to gasdistribution system valves.Elster Perfection’s PSV for service linesare designed with flexibility to facilitateboth new and replacement installations.The compact design of the PSV makesthem easier to install in tight replacementapplications. PSV also fit a variety ofcommercially available curb valve boxes.The variety of outlet end configurationsavailable make the PSV ideal for newinstallations.

Polyethylene Shut-off Valves4 Elster PerfectionOnly Elster Perfectionhas developed acomplete mechanicalpolyethylene gasdistribution systemtaking you from mainto meter.Design advantagesAll PSVs feature a large port openingwhich ensures maximum gas flow andminimizes pressure drop. Dependingon PSV size, either a plug or ball-typemechanism is incorporated whichprovides an obstruction-free port area.In order to achieve the compact physicalsize of the plug-type PSV, Elster Perfectionutilizes a totally encapsulated metallicsleeve. By integrating this sleeve with ourproprietary molding process we are ableto maintain a compact overall size. Thelong term reliability of our small diameterPSV valves is enhanced with our onepiece actuator/plug design.The full port design of the larger PSVs(size 2”-6” and reduced port 8) allowsinstallers to make full port branch hot tapsinto gas main lines.Testing and complianceElster Perfection’s research anddevelopment laboratory performedextensive qualification testing to verify theperformance characteristics of the PSV.Testing covered areas such as operation,temperature resistance, sustainedpressure capability, flow capacity, shortterm rupture, and elevated temperature.In addition, all PSVs are subjected to inprocess production testing to assureperformance compliance.All Elster Perfection PSV polyethyleneshut-off valves meet or exceed therequirements of US DOT Part 192,ANSI B16.40, ASTM D 2513 andCSA B137.4.Complete polyethylene gasdistribution systemOnly Elster Perfection has developed acomplete mechanical polyethylene gasdistribution system taking you from mainto meter. These easy-to-install productsallow you to make fast and safe fieldconnections without the use of tools orexpensive equipment.Our complete system includesmechanical fittings, anodeless serviceline risers, transition fittings, polyethyleneshut-off valves, mechanical tappingtees, excess flow valves, and meter setpiping. All of our products meet or exceedthe requirements of ASTM D 2513, ANSIB16.40, US DOT Part 192, and CSA B137.4.
