How it Works

The installation of the Hydra-Stop Insta-Valve 250 insertion valve is accomplished through a single circular hole — commonly known as a “tap” — cut under full line pressure into the top of the pipe without the need to ream or sever the pipe. By installing the Insta-Valve 250 right where a control point is needed, you gain a permanent asset allowing system control and maintenance in the same manner as a resilient seated gate valve.
