Reliability and purity are crucial when it comes to water supply. AVK products are renowned
for superior quality thanks to our market leading expertise when it comes to rubber
compounds. Due to own vulcanisation and coating facilities and worldwide approvals for
drinking water we can ensure maximum safety and durability.

AVK has been in the valve business for more than 50 years. Today, we are offering
solutions for numerous applications, not least valves, hydrants and accessories for water
supply. Our wide range includes gate valves, butterfly valves, control valves, check
valves, needle valves, air valves, service connection valves and hydrants as well as flange
adaptors, couplings, fittings, tapping saddles, repair clamps, surface boxes and valve
accessories.

More than 4,800 people in the AVK Group are doing their utmost to ensure that AVK
remains one of the world’s leading valve manufacturers for water, wastewater, gas, and fire
protection applications.

Inhouse R&D
In our Development Department in Denmark,
ideas and suggestions for new products are
gathered, and existing products are updated
continuously.

We use FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to

optimise the strength and geometry of our
components and CFD (Computational Fluid

designs prior to creating physical prototypes.
This enables us to predict consequences in
cases where it is impossible to create full scale

thorough prototype and life cycle tests prior to
release for production. New product types are
generally field tested in co-operation with end
users before final launch.

Quality certifications
AVK’s quality management system is certified
according to ISO 9001. Moreover, we are
certified to the ISO 14001 standard for
environmental management, the ISO 50001
standard for Energy Management, and the ISO

AVK EXTENSION SPINDLES
IN A USER FRIENDLY
DESIGN
Extension spindles are
used for easy access
to operation of valves
installed below ground.
AVK extension spindles
are produced on fully
automated state-of-the-art
production equipment to
ensure a uniform quality.

Our extension spindles are made of corrosion

resistant materials and random samples are
torque tested with up to 675 Nm to ensure
long service life. The inner tube is press fit
to the key and stem adaptor to safeguard the
corrosion protection of the tube. The bottom
cover protects the valve spindle from impurities
and enables it to rotate freely.

The “Safe Click” design provides a secure and

fast three-step mounting process on service
connection valves. A quick-mounting clip
secures the connection between the stem and
the bottom adapter and allows for mounting
and demounting without use of tools.

AVK SURFACE BOXES
A FULL RANGE

AVK offers a very

comprehensive range of
surface boxes in various
designs and material
combinations.

Cast iron surface boxes

The ductile iron surface boxes are available in
a floating design and a fixed/floating reversible
design. The reversible surface box allows for
deflection and internal fixation of telescopic
extension spindles from both ends.

The fixed surface boxes of grey cast iron are

height adjustable using ductile iron distance
rings of a height of 10-50 mm.

Floating surface boxes with great

flexibility
The internal fixation of telescopic extension
spindles enables height adjustment after
installation. The deflection ability secures
optimal fit on sloped surfaces.

The large chamber provides easy access for

mounting and demounting of the extension
spindle, and the closed design protects the
extension spindle against impurities.

AVK offers a wide range of fire hydrants for above and

underground installation and in a wealth of variants to meet
our customers’ needs.

ground barrel with all the components known
from our existing range. The upper barrel is
made of stainless steel for a modern look, and
the hydrant head of ductile iron is epoxy coated
and has an extra layer of UV resistant polyester
coating.

The head can be machined for several

outlet configurations according to customer
specifications such as 2 x Storz B or C, 3rd
Storz B or C and an optional Storz A on DN100.
The Multi hydrant is available with or without
traffic break-away design and with single shut-
off or double shut-off.

Series 09 above-ground hydrants

Our series 09 hydrants are 360 degrees
rotatable and height adjustable for easy
installation. In case of traffic knock down the
PE pipe, connecting the upper barrel with the
foot bend, will just bend and not break.

The hydrants are available of aluminium or

ductile iron with manual or automatic drainage,
and as top operated or gate valve operated. The
automatic drainage hydrant is made in a flush-
proof design by means of a membrane drainage
valve designed to close when the hydrant is
under pressure, and open when the hydrant is
shut-off, allowing the water inside the barrel to
be drained.

32 | Water supply
 Series 84 above-ground hydrants
Our series 84 hydrants are designed with a
double shut-off system for safe sealing of
the hydrant during maintenance. The flanges
connecting the upper and the lower barrel are
assembled with special titanium bushes which
are the only spare parts to be replaced in case
of an accidental traffic knock down.

The upper part is available in a nostalgic

design, a modern stainless steel design and in
an execution with a lockable cover protecting
against unauthorized operation. The lower
part is designed with a PUR vulcanised ductile
iron disc and vertical seal like the series 35
hydrants.

Series 84 hydrants are as standard with

automatic drainage, and optionally with manual
drainage. Back-flow protection can be fitted
to protect against contamination of the water
through the hydrant. The internal enamel and
the external GSK approved epoxy coating with
an additional topcoat of UV-resistant polyester
give a high durability and a strong corrosion
protection.

LARGE-SCALE
HOSPITAL PROJECT
IN DENMARK
The New University Hospital in Odense, New OUH, will be
one of the largest new hospitals in Denmark with its 250,000
m² under roof on the 780,000 m² site. The turnkey contract
amounts to 953m euros.

It will become a hospital of the future and will be part of Campus Odense – a new town focusing on
innovation and development. In addition to the New University Hospital, the new town will host the
University of Southern Denmark, Science Park Odense and the new Cortex Park supporting knowledge
sharing and networking between the business community, the university and the hospital. Generally,
innovative thinking characterises the project, and for easy access, new roads are being established and
a tramway is being constructed with two planned stops at the new hospital.

Almost 300 AVK valves and hydrants

All valves and hydrants for the project have been supplied by AVK, mainly gate valves with PE ends for
direct welding into the PE pipe system, and a lot of these are in DN300-400 to be used for cooling
water. Furthermore, flanged gate valves and ball check valves will be used for the wastewater system,
and 12 fire hydrants will be spread over the big site.

The new hospital is expected to open in 2025.
