This AMES Series AVS valve setter is specifically designed to augment and simplify installations of "N" series backflow prevention valves.

  • The Flange by Flange connection means both ends of the valve setter feature standard flanges, allowing direct connection to other flanged components in your piping system.
  • While mechanical joint restraint devices may be used at pipe connections, the integral ductile iron support within the setter itself helps manage thrust.
