Description

The AMES 6 inch Series AVS Valve Setter (MJxFL) is a fusion epoxy-coated ductile iron component designed to augment "N" series backflow prevention valve installations. This model features a Mechanical Joint on one side and a Flange connection on the other. It eliminates the need for external thrust blocks, offering significant installation benefits. Constructed from corrosion-resistant ductile iron with stainless steel bolts, it withstands a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI and temperatures from 32°F to 140°F. The wetted surface contains less than 0.25% lead, meeting lead-free requirements for consumable water. Item number 0693217.

Help Me Connect

The AMES Series AVS valve setters, including this 6 inch Mechanical Joint by Flange model, are designed for use with "N" series backflow prevention valves. This particular model features a Mechanical Joint on one side and a Flange connection on the other, allowing for versatile integration into piping systems.

Connections

  • The Mechanical Joint side is designed to connect to pipes using mechanical joint restraint devices (depending on local conditions), typically requiring an external gland, bolts, and gasket (not included).
  • The Flange connection conforms to ANSI B16.1 Class 125 standards and connects to matching flanged pipe or components using flange bolts and gaskets (not included).

Note: Mechanical joint accessories, flange bolts, and gaskets are not included with this valve setter, except for center joints. Consult local governing authorities for specific installation requirements.
