Valve stem extensions - essential installation components
Valve stem extenders are key components in water and gas systems. They enable the operation of valves located deep underground. At Onninen, we offer a wide selection of these products. Our range includes various types and sizes of extension cords. These allow you to adapt the installation to specific terrain conditions.
We often come across questions about selecting the right extension. It is crucial to consider the depth of the valve's installation. The type of soil should also be taken into account. In our daily practice we see how important it is to select these elements correctly. An improperly selected extension cord can make valve operation difficult. In extreme cases, it can even damage the installation.
Types of valve stem extensions available at Onninen
Our offer includes various types of valve stem extensions. The most popular are earth columns of various lengths. Models are available from 25 cm to 300 cm. Here are the basic variants:
- Earth Column -25
- Earth Column -50
- Earth Column -100
- Earth Column -200
- Earth column -300
Each of these models has its own application depending on the installation depth. Shorter extensions are suitable for shallower excavations. Longer models are necessary for deep-lying pipelines. At Onninen, we advise on the selection of the optimal solution. We take into account the specifics of the given project.
It is worth paying attention to our own brands. Onnline and FXA products are appreciated by customers. They offer a good price-quality ratio. Our experience has shown that these are reliable solutions for many applications. We especially recommend them for standard water and gas installations.
Valve Stem Extension Selection Criteria
When choosing a valve stem extension, several factors should be taken into account. The first is of course the depth of the valve. This determines the length of the extension needed. The second important aspect is the type of soil. In the case of unstable soils, it is recommended to use longer extensions. They provide better stability and durability of the installation.
Onninen recommends paying attention to the material the extension cord is made of. The most commonly used extension cords are steel with an appropriate anti-corrosion coating. In the case of aggressive environments, it is worth considering stainless steel models. They provide long-term protection against corrosion.
Another important aspect is the compatibility of the extension with a specific type of valve. At Onninen, we offer extensions that fit various valve models. This allows our customers to choose the perfectly matched element. This guarantees trouble-free installation and long-term, failure-free operation.
Practical Applications of Valve Stem Extenders
In our daily practice we observe a variety of applications for valve stem extensions. One of the most common is their use in municipal water supply networks. Recently, we delivered hundreds of extension cords to a large city project. They were used to modernize old sections of the network.
Another example is gas installations in suburban areas. Here, longer extensions are often used. This is due to the need to place gas pipes deeper. In such cases, our -200 and -300 earth columns are useful. They provide easy access to valves even at considerable depths.
Valve stem extensions are also used in industry. Manufacturing plants often have extensive pipeline networks. Our products enable easy operation of valves in hard-to-reach places. This increases work safety and efficiency.
In the case of reorganization of the terrain, shorter extensions are most often needed. Earth columns -25 and -50 are suitable for shallow installations. They are often used in parks or recreational areas. They allow easy access to valves without the need for deep excavations.
Our experience shows that the correct selection of extension cord is crucial for the functionality of the installation. That is why at Onninen we attach great importance to consulting in this area. Our specialists help in choosing the optimal solution. In doing so, they take into account the specifics of a given project and the individual needs of the client.
Many customers ask us about the durability of valve stem extensions. Under normal conditions, when properly installed, they can last for many years. However, it is crucial to check their condition regularly. At Onninen, we recommend periodic inspections, especially in the case of older installations.
Valve stem extensions are products that significantly facilitate the operation and maintenance of water and gas networks. Their correct selection and installation translates into long-term and trouble-free operation of the entire installation. At Onninen, we are ready to advise in every situation.
