Part of the 2300 series gate valve product line from Mueller, the new product is developed with “clean seat” technology and offers reliable and repeatable watertight shutoff suitable for utilities’ exercise programs.
Standard and oversized variants are now available in 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches, and can be inserted into an existing water main with minimal service disruption. Mueller also offers a line of PermaSeal Insertion Valve installation equipment that has been designed to ease common installation difficulties and comes as two independent sets intended to service individual size ranges of 4-8 inches and 10-12 inches.
“Mueller continues introducing new, innovative products to help our customers realize efficiencies and lower costs,” said Adam Donnelly, VP and general manager of the Iron Gate Valves at Mueller. “Combining our ductile iron tapping sleeve with our industry-leading resilient wedge gate valve, the PermaSeal Insertion Valve provides the ability to install a highly reliable, in-line valve without shutting off water service, lowering or eliminating water disruptions while saving on installation time and cost compared to other methods.”

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
