Below is an animation of a Insta-Valve Plus Installation.






Insta-Valve Plus provides a means of a permanent block  valve into a pressurized water main with no interruption of flow through the pipe and no reduction of line pressure. The insertion of an Insta-Valve Plus is accomplished through a single circular whole cut (under full line pressure) into the top of the pipe with no reaming. 

The Insta-Valve, itself, permanently remains in the water distribution piping to allow shutdowns in the same manner as any gate or butterfly valve originally installed with the water main would do.
