AquaFlex™ Outdoor Actuator Valve

5-Position Remote Valve for 3rd-Party AMI Systems (AVS)

PRODUCT DETAILS

The AquaFlex™ is an IP68-rated remote disconnect ball valve designed to integrate with any existing AMI platform, as an AMI ready valve. The AquaFlex™ supports five valve positions (OPEN, CLOSED, REDUCED FLOW 1, 2, 3). AMI ready means that any AMI system can integrate the AquaFlex™ using the Aquana standard AquaFlex™ protocol. Contact us for integration protocol docs.

With Aquana, there is a way to stay in your office and remotely shut off and turn on customers’ water. Our remote-control smart valves, along with our cloud-based software, create automated workflows that save you time and money and keep your employees safe while eliminating costly truck rolls.

AMI Compatible

Each AquaFlex includes a 3’ serial cable designed with industry standard Geospace Hydroconn® AMR3 (Nicor) or AMR4 (Itron compatible) connections, compatible with most existing AMI endpoints.



Five Valve Positions

Positions are Open, Closed, Reduced Flow 1, 2, 3. Position Reduced 1 is configured for trickle flow for utilities not wanting to disconnect water service fully. Customize other positions for more reduced flow rates for conservation compliance or other applications.



Swivel Nut

Each residential size valve is designed with NPSM threaded male and female swivel nut (1/2”, 3/4”, 1”). This allows easy installation directly to meter. Each valve body is NSF61/ lead-free certified with a brass body and stainless steel ball.



Simple Servicing

The AquaFlex actuator can be serviced separately from the valve body, enabling you to pre-install a valve body without a controller until valve control is needed, or service them independently.
