Hydra-Stop products

When tested against the AWWA C509 / 515 proof of design standards for resilient gate valves, this product’s performance surpassed all the requirements called for in the proof-of-design testing. Whether the gate, torque, leakage or shell test, the Insta-Valve 250 Patriot has what it takes to exceed the standards. The reliability, strength, quality and value of this product are unmatched — especially when you combine the features of the valve with its proof-of-design testing results. When your project calls for the best, specify the Insta-Valve 250 Patriot insertion valve.

The IVP 250 from Hydra-Stop is a permanent, insertable gate valves offering increased strength, improved performance, and simplified installation and operation. Available in sizes 14-16 inches, the IVP 250 is a result of years of successful installations and dedicated research and development. The IVP 250 continues Hydra-Stop’s legacy of setting the industry standard for insertion valves.

Hydra-Stop’s line stopping keeps the neighborhood pressurized while allowing you to isolate the water pipe or main requiring repair or maintenance. The line is stopped temporarily and the work undertaken, without disrupting pressure upstream of the stop. This is a cost-effective method of performing maintenance and repairs without incurring the risks and inconvenience associated with system shutdown.

Hydra-Stop installation equipment is designed to safely install Insta-Valve 250 Patriot insertion valves into your distribution system, without any shutdowns. Utilizing the IV 250 Patriot installation equipment, a trained crew can install a 4" to 12" valve in just under two hours.

Hydra-Stop’s low-cost, lightweight Hydra-Stopper isolates a section of pressurized pipe for repair, maintenance or replacement of valves and hydrants in minutes, eliminating system shutdowns and saving time and money on repairs and maintenance. Our Hydra-Stopper is effective on any commonly used pipe — steel, cast iron, ductile iron, asbestos cement, concrete and PVC.

Hydra-Stop’s revolutionary, lightweight tapping machine makes line taps on water and wastewater lines quickly and easily. Superior engineering, rugged construction and fewer moving parts mean Hydra-Tapper is designed to operate without costly and annoying malfunctions. Hydra-Tapper’s light weight also eliminates the need for the expensive blocking and bracing often required to support traditional heavy tapping equipment. The Hydra-Tapper hot tap (or wet tap) machine makes it easy to turn an inexperienced worker into a professional line tapper.

The Hydra-Core Pipe Wall Sampling Kit allows a small core sample to be taken from the host pipe prior to completing the final valve insertion line tap. Why is this important?

Hydra-Stop engineered and created a revolutionary set of valve insertion tools. These tools allow you to save up to 25 percent vs. current insertion valve installation time, greatly increasing operator safety.

When a leak is suspected in your system, do you know exactly where it is located? Is the broken valve on Main Street stuck in the open or closed position? How many illegal connections are in my system? Finding answers to these questions used to be difficult ... Not anymore.
