Prevost PPS Aluminum Tapping Flange with Integrated Valve

Description

Prevost PPS Aluminum Tapping Flange with Integrated Valve

The Fastest Way to Add a Shut-Off Drop.

Expand your air system and gain immediate control with the Prevost Aluminum Tapping Flange with Valve. This all-in-one solution combines a “hot tap” saddle flange with a high-quality integrated ball valve, allowing you to install a new drop point on your existing pipe network that can be isolated instantly.

Designed for the Prevost PPS Aluminum Pipe system, this unit eliminates the need to buy and install a separate isolation valve.¹ It is the perfect choice for adding maintenance-friendly drops for machinery, hose reels, or new workstations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Quarter-Turn Valve: Features a built-in shut-off valve directly on the flange outlet.² This allows you to isolate the downstream equipment (like a hose reel or FRL) for maintenance without shutting down the main air line.
• “Hot Tap” Capable: Easily installs on existing pipe runs. Simply drill the main pipe using the Prevost jig, clamp the flange on, and tighten. There is no need to cut the pipe, disassemble the header, or re-thread any connections.
• Leak-Free Integrity: The flange utilizes a contoured high-performance gasket that seals perfectly against the pipe OD, while the integrated valve eliminates the leak potential of a threaded connection between a standard flange and a separate valve.
• Compact & Low Profile: By combining the flange and valve into one unit, the assembly is significantly shorter and less vulnerable to accidental impact than a stacked assembly of separate parts.
• Moisture Protection: The unique internal design pulls air from the side or top of the pipe (depending on orientation), preventing water condensate traveling along the bottom of the main header from entering your new drop leg.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• New Machine Hookups: quickly adding a dedicated, valved supply line for a new piece of equipment.
• Hose Reel Drops: providing a mandatory shut-off point immediately above a hose reel for safe servicing.
• System Expansion: adding inspection points or drain drops with built-in isolation.

Why Choose the Flange with Integrated Valve?

Installing a standard flange requires you to screw in a separate nipple and valve, adding labor time and potential leak points. The Prevost Integrated Valve Flange solves this in one robust component. It is the cleanest, safest way to expand your system.
