Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority’s West Side Loop 48-inch Replacement Project is being conducted to provide additional water to western Cobb County and Paulding County in Georgia. AMERICAN provided approximately 30,000 feet of 48-inch-diameter V-Bio wrapped ductile iron pipe and more than 20 resilient wedge gate valves with Flex-Ring® ends in sizes 24 to 48 inches in diameter.

AMERICAN Flow Control resilient wedge gate valves with Flex-Ring ends offer boltless restraint, reducing installation times and increasing joint flexibility. The valves are available in sizes up to 60 inches.

“Installing a Flex-Ring gate valve is like laying a piece of pipe,” said Andy Anderson, Unity Construction vice president and project manager for the West Side Loop Project. “It takes less time, minutes compared to hours.”
