This Asahi minute video presents a short information overview of Asahi/America''s double containment systems, including Duo-Pro® Fabricated PE100RC (PP, PVDF, ECTFE, PFA), Poly-Flo® (Molded PE100RC and PP), Fluid-Lok® (Fabricated PE), Pro-Lok® (Fabricated PVC & CPVC) and why they are important to the environment and society today.
Asahi/America introduces the next generation of thermoplastic butterfly valves, the Type-57P. This video introduces the new Type-57P highlighting all the new features and benefits.
Introducing Asahi/America''s Series 19 electric actuator: available in both smart (SAV) and basic (CAV) options. Compact and lightweight, the Series 19 is available in four operating configurations: on/off, modulating, failsafe, and modulating failsafe; and three sizes to meet valve torque requirements. The multi-voltage unit operates at a 75 percent duty cycle for more frequent cycling of the valve. Compatible with most PLCs, the Series 19 is an ideal choice for OEMs and skid manufacturers where space is at a premium, but power cannot be sacrificed. To learn more, visit https://www.asahi-am
Asahi/America''s Air-Pro Specially Formulated PE compressed air piping system is welded using butt, socket and electrofusion welding methods. This video covers socket and butt fusion welding methods. Air-Pro pipe is available in 20 - 110mm (1/2" - 4"), SDR 7.4, 230 psi and 160 - 315mm (6" - 12"), SDR 11, 160 psi. Weld parameters can be found on Asahi/America''s weld web app at myasahi.asahi-americ

This informative 3 minute video features Asahi/America''s SP 63-S mobile IR butt welding tool. Ideal for thermoplastic pipe up to 2", the SP 63-S is like having two tools in one, performing bench or remote welds after a quick change over. Featuring a compact design for tight spaces, the SP 63-S offers force controlled welding and automated clamp movement which provides precise control.
Asahi/America''s gate valve is the most widely used ON/OFF valve for large diameter, full port applications. When the valve is fully open, it allows straight-through passage through an opening that is essentially the same size as the inside diameter of the connecting pipe. In stock and ready to ship from Lawrence, MA. More information found at: www.asahi-america.co
Asahi/America featured Chem Proline® Advanced PE pipe at WEFTEC 2019. Advanced PE material possesses excellent physical and mechanical properties. These properties include: stress crack resistance, slow crack growth resistance, ductility, impact resistance, abrasion resistance and brittleness resistance. Engineered for water treatment applications, Chem Proline® is UV resistant, can be installed above or below ground, and is thermally fused.
Introducing the Type-21a Seat Support Technology (SST) flow control ball valve which offers all of the robust elements of the Type-21 ball valve and the ability to precisely control flow. This valve is now in stock. More information can be found on Asahi/America''s website at https://www.asahi-am
Asahi/America is pleased to introduce the addition of our manifold machine to our custom fabrication department. The machine is capable of producing HDPE headers and manifolds in IPS dimensions.
