When you need to add new inline valves to your water or sewer infrastructure but can’t afford a shutdown, valve insertion is the perfect solution. Recently, Flow Control Solutions installed 10″ and 12″ valve inserts, ensuring uninterrupted service while upgrading critical pipeline infrastructure. 

How Valve Insertion Works 

We use ductile iron resilient wedge insert valves (RWGVs) manufactured by Team Industries, designed to withstand 250 PSI. These advanced gate valves remove the entire host pipe during the hot tapping process, allowing the gate to seat directly on the valve body rather than the existing pipeline. This ensures: 

  • A precise, pressure-tight seal 
  • Extended valve lifespan 
  • Reliable, long-term performance 

If you need specifications, drawings, literature, or recommendations for your next valve insertion project, our team is happy to assist.
