CORPORATE PRESENTATION PVC-U fittings

• PVC-U-made fittings for PVC pipe unions • Any fluid distribution network can be designed by combining these fittings properly.

• Unions by solvent cement, threaded, rubber ring joint or adaptor • Types of pieces: elbows & bends, tees & crosses, sockets & reducers, flanges, caps, nipples, unions, spigots, manifolds for electric valves, sight glasses, flowmeters, solvent cement / cleaner.

• Sizes from D16 to D315 (3/8” – 12”) and working pressures at 20ºC (75ºF) PN16 – PN 10 (240 psi – 150 psi) Features and benefits: • Wide range in figures and sizes • Quality certifications worldwide • Complete system made not only for fittings (valves, flexible pipe, etc.) • Available also in British Standard and American Sizes • Own formula to produce PVC

2010 Pressure Fittings PVC-U 13

CORPORATE PRESENTATION PP compression fittings

• PP fittings for PE pipes union • With an adequate combination of these fittings it is possible to design any pressure piping application of fluids with PE pipes • Unions by compression or mixed (threaded) • Types of pieces: elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, caps, universal fitting, clamp saddles, pipe clips • Sizes from D16 to D110 (3/8” – 4”) and working pressures at 20ºC (75ºF) PN16 – PN 10 (240 psi – 150 psi)

Compression Fittings PP

Features and benefits: • Wide range in figures and sizes • Quality certifications worldwide • Complete system made not only for fittings (valves with compression unions, flexible pipe, etc.) • Available also in British Standard and American Sizes • Two ranges (performance and Standard) to achieve different needs • Potable water approved (in Performance Series)

CORPORATE PRESENTATION Ball valves 2010 Ball Valves PVC-U & PVC-C Ball Valves PVC-U / PVC-C / PP-H / PVDF / ABS

• They are used to control the fluid pass through it.

• Changes in the flow are not proportional to the movement of the handle; a little turn can vary the flow a lot.

• Valve with quarter turn (90º) (3-way Series with T PORT turn 180º).

• Several possibilities in the unions (socket, threaded, male, female, butt welded, etc.) • Sizes form D16 to D110 (3/8” – 4”) and working pressures at 20ºC (75ºF) from PN16 to PN10 (240 psi to 150 psi) Features and benefits: • Different kinds of valves to adapt to different needs (true union, uniblock, compact, etc.) • Possibilities of different materials to adapt to different needs (PVC-U, PVC-C, PP-H, PVDF, ABS) • Antiblock system • Easy connection • Completely made in plastic • Possibility of electric and pneumatic actuation • Threaded seal carrier to allow the maintenance without breaking the system • 100% tested in factory after the assembly

15

CORPORATE PRESENTATION Check valves 2010 Check Valves PVC-U & PVC-C

• Check valves are valves with automatic action, they work without external controls and depends for their working on the sense of the flow or the pressures in the pipe system.

• Its main function is to allow the fluid pass through only in one sense of the installation, allowing to work without fluid in the opposite sense or to avoid emptying situations in the line.

• Three different types: closing by spring, by ball (both can transform to foot valve) or wafer check valve • Threaded or solvent cement unions (flanged for the wafer check valves) • Sizes form D16 to D110 (3/8” – 4”) and working pressures at 20ºC (75ºF) from PN16 to PN10 (240 psi to 150 psi) Features and benefits: • Horizontal or vertical installation • Easy installation (true union valves) • Made in two possible materials (PVC-U and PVC-C) and stainless steel (parts which aren’t in plastic) • Slow closing • Threaded seal carrier to allow the maintenance without breaking the system • Minimum space required in the installation • 100% tested in factory after the assembly

16

CORPORATE PRESENTATION Butterfly valves 2010

• Butterfly valves are composed of a body and a disc within, which turns 90º on its own shaft, shutting down the flow according to the disc’s position (longitudinally positioned or crossed to flow).

• The valve is operated by a handle, provided with a lock to fix it 0º, 90º or intermediate positions.

• They are installed to piping by flange adaptors and flanges, not taking too much space and can be open under pressure quite easily. • Sizes form D63 to D315 (2” – 12”) and working pressures at 20ºC (75ºF) PN10 (150 psi) • Available with handle, gear box, electrically or pneumatically actuated

Butterfly Valves PVC-U Butterfly Valves PVC-U / PVC-C / PP-H / PVDF / ABS

Features and benefits: • Installation by flanges • Only plastic parts are in contact with the fluid • Possibilities of different materials in the disc to adapt to different needs (PVC-U, PVC-C, PP-H, PVDF, ABS) • Light weight and easy to install • Long ergonomic handle and antifriction disc gasket to obtain a low torque • Full “all around” disc gasket • Handle with lock and throttle pad

17

CORPORATE PRESENTATION Valve boxes 2010

• The valve boxes are elements that provide an ideal protection and easy access to underground equipment like valves, control modules, flowmeters, filters, etc. • It can offer protection of physical impacts and weather conditions.

• It must permit an easy and comfortable access to the inner element in order to operate it or to do its maintenance. • Round and rectangular forms, and several sizes • Made in high impact strength PP Features and benefits: • Light weight and easy handling, adapted to easy transport and stockage • Overlapping covers and beveled cover edges • Factory pierce slots for pipe • Slot in body for cover removal • Vandal resistant bolt lock cover • Accessories: anti-frost plate, base grid, extension • Anti-slide engraving in the cover • Built-in space for control systems
