Dozens of municipalities and private organizations helped
Advanced Valve Technologies’ (AVT) RentEZ program has helped dozens of municipalities and private organizations to install insertion valves without the upfront cost of purchasing install equipment.
AVT’s EZ Valve can be installed on water pipes sized 1.5” to 24” without the need to shut off the water. This technology means control points can be added to water systems so when work does need to take place, only small areas need to be shut down. Many times, the EZ valve has ensured thousands of properties and businesses have maintained their water supply despite vital water line repair works taking place locally.
The board of directors of United Technologies Corp. needed some convincing before it agreed to break up the 45-year-old conglomerate and jettison stalwart subsidiaries Otis Elevator and Carrier.
