Putzmeister Pipe Technology, a division of Putzmeister America Inc., has introduced its further improved SDHV 3/2 S-Valve hydraulic diversion valve, which offers the smallest footprint in the industry as well as a 100 percent leak-proof design up to maximum operating pressure.

Compatible with both truck-mounted and stationary pumps being used on high-rise or long-distance projects, the new valve features an S-Valve design, resulting in a reduced footprint for tight working conditions. The valve’s hydraulic switchover is leak-proof up to 130 BAR (1890 psi), resulting in maximum efficiency.

“The new design will withstand the most rugged applications,” said Eric Zimmermann, general manager of Putzmeister Pipe Technology. “Our customers will find the valve efficient, reliable and easy to use.”

The valve’s versatile design can be used to prevent the back flow of concrete in a vertical delivery pipe system, or it can be used in set ups where one concrete pump is feeding two delivery lines.

The new S-Valve can be ordered from Putzmeister’s catalog at www.PutzmeisterPipeTech.com or by calling 886/734-0296.
