A New Easy to Install, Time Saving Delayed Valve Launched by Tyco Waterworks
Posted: Monday 21st June 2010
Tyco Waterworks is pleased to announce the availability of the new EBCO Delayed Valve (EBV), developed and manufactured to provide full flow replenishment of storage tanks used in high rise buildings, buildings with multiple outlets fed from storage tanks or from pumped systems.
This new delayed valve is packed full of time, energy and cost saving
features. After extensive field trials, engineers have found that ease
of installation is its most outstanding attribute. The Delayed Valve
has been designed as a simple mechanical device, comes fully assembled
and can be fitted easily and efficiently straight from the box, with
no need to dismantle the unit before installation. For added
efficiency, the adjustable delay valve design means that the
positioning of the floats to provide the required delay can be carried
out away from the tank. This makes installation more convenient and
reduces the possibility of spills and water damage during installation.
Technically, the design is based on the renowned and established EBCO
equilibrium ball float valve and this new EBV incorporates the unique
and patented ECOvalve fill control device. Allowing the valve to open
fully and operate at full flow every fill cycle, means that trickling
is eliminated, valve and pump wear is significantly reduced and
running costs are kept to a minimum. Tyco Waterworks has shown that an
energy saving of up to 81% can be achieved by installing the EBV. The
robust and simple mechanical design can operate in tanks with walls
sloping up to 5º and does not require precise vertical or horizontal
levelling for the valve to function.
For added versatility, it is available in single float (fixed delay)
or twin float (adjustable delay) versions. The adjustable twin float
device is recommended for tank systems with a raised inlet or float
valve housing, so the float can be adjusted to allow optimum main tank
capacity.
Cost savings can also be made due to the fact that there is no need
for ancillary equipment. In other products on the market, filters are
often part of the design and not only do they add to the cost of the
original job, but they need to be replaced regularly and require
ongoing maintenance. The Tyco Waterworks delayed valves provide the
perfect cost-effective ‘fit and forget’ solution.
