Home of the Insert Valve with no linestop needed!
In this valve installation, Rancho Water Company in Temecula, CA. wanted a DeZURIK Eccentric Plug Valve instaled on their 24" sewage main. Our pipeline plugging machine passed through a 16" tap and the folding linestop heads completed a 24" linestop with 100% shutdown. Next the valve was unbolted and replaced by a brand new valve. Lastly, a completion plug replaced the linestop machine leaving behind a job well completed.
The Insert Valve is a RW-Gate that allows you to install a real valve without a system shut down. The benefits of each installation is that it reduces costly risks, installation and restoration costs associated with shut down. This valve can be installed under pressure and can be repaired under pressure. The Insert Valve eliminates backflow contamination, purging, bac-t hits. You will love this valve!

Fusion epoxy coated carbon steel or 316 stainless steel for water, sewage & chemicals. Repair without SHUTTING DOWN, fast delivery,installation and turnkey services available.
The isolation of a section of pipe, stopping its flow. IFT provides the most advanced Line stopping services available today! Sizes from 1/2” - 60” on any type of pipeline. IFT is the leader for indoor pipeline services. We can perform services on steam systems, air lines, chemical lines and chilled water systems anywhere, any time.
A simple, cost-effective method to perform pipeline maintenance or pipeline modifications without draining. Using liquid nitrogen, IFT, can isolate the problem area in the line by freezing the product inside the pipeline to form solid freeze plugs. This allows for very little drain-down or refill, and in many cases, no system downtime. Once the work is complete the plugs are thawed and the line is back in operation. Standard freeze plugs range in size from 1/2" to 36" OD and can be performed on most fluids including petrochemicals.
The defective valve (Before Image), nipple and Dutch finger housing can be removed by lifting it up and over the tool. The new Air-valve (After Image), nipple and Dutch finger is set over the tool and installed onto the pipeline. The Dutch finger is relaxed and pulled into the pressure tight housing and the new Air-valve is closed completing the process.
Insert Valve installation on a 8" domestic water pipeline for the city of Long Beach California Water Department. This install only took 6 hours.
We stock 4”, 6” or 8” for Steel, PVC, C-900, Cast-iron, Ductile-iron and A/C by utilizing interchangeable side glands that mate the valve body to the pipeline. The Insert Valve can be inserted on pipelines without shutting down the system. Valves can be installed indoors and outdoors on chilled and domestic water and air lines.
Dual pipe freezes on 10" black steel pipeline with flanges installed in order to connect an branch connection to this chilled water system.
Pipe freezing is a non-intrusive, cost-effective, and quick method to perform pipeline maintenance modifications without draining the system. Using liquid nitrogen with freeze jackets we can isolate an area in the pipeline or vessel by freezing the product inside the pipeline to form a solid plug allowing you to add or change out a valve.
