Total Lockout Supplier Modec Create Valve Operation Kit for the Water Industry
Modec have been a Total Lockout supplier for over 6 years thanks to the mutual understanding of the difficulties operators face when opening and closing valves.
Using a Portable Valve Actuator has a number of key advantages over manual operation.
For one, it’s a lot safer. The Portable Valve Actuators offered by Total Lockout massively reduce the risk of strain injury when manually operating a difficult valve. It is also a lot more efficient as operators can easily go from one valve to another choosing the most effective speed and torque settings. Furthermore, the robustness of the Portable Valve Actuators are a key benefit. Their high build quality and strong components allow them to last for many years of regular use.
One industry which has a large demand for Portable Valve Actuators is the water industry. With a frequent need to operate underground valves that form part of the water distribution network and the high number of valves in operation, it is extremely common for some to be hard to operate manually. To best cater to organisations facing these issues, Modec carried out extensive research and sought valuable feedback from customers and clients.
Modec’s thorough due diligence focused on common problems found globally in this sector and identified that their solution needed to be affordable, easy to use, efficient and safe. As a result, Modec have created the H2O kit to operate these underground valves and meet these criteria.
The kit is now available from Total Lockout and includes:
- Battery Operated Portable Valve Actuator
- Height Adjustable Telescopic Extension and Adaptor
- Socket to Connect to the Nut on the Valve
- Spare Battery and Charger
- Articulated Reaction Arm
All of these are contained neatly in a compact transport case with a handle and wheels. The kit is designed to be quick and easy to use no matter the circumstance, to aid in this, all pieces of the kit install quickly and are secured by quick couplers and spring-loaded pins meaning it takes less than 3 minutes to have the actuator and accessories fully assembled. Once the job is complete and the kit is packed away, the foam cut-outs for each element allow you to easily identify any missing parts to save them from being left behind.
The Modec H2O kit presents a great option for the water industry and will perfectly fit the needs of the vast majority of valves to be operated. If you are interested in learning more about the kit then please contact us on +44 (0)1376 325506 to speak to our knowledgeable team.
