AQUAVALVE
The Tru-Design Aquavalve is the most versatile valve on the market today. The Aquavalve is
designed and made in New Zealand, for demanding marine sanitation applications.
The Aquavalve is typically used in marine toilet applications where protection for the environment
necessitates the need to control effluent discharge – in many countries this is governed by
regulation. The effluent can be held in a holding tank for later discharge overboard or to a shore
side facility.
The Tru-Design Aquavalve is moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength,
high-modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness,
toughness, and dimensional stability.

POSITION MONITORED BALL VALVE
Designed and made in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the water
line. Our Ball Valves are IMCI approved to ISO standard 9093-2, and are ideal for controlling and
monitoring inlet and outlet water requirements. The Ball Valve can be locked in the closed position
for use on toilet waste outlets.
Position Monitoring allows remote monitoring of Ball Valve Position. The Position Monitoring
circuit can also be used as part of an engine or generator start interlock to ensure these don’t start
without cooling water available.
The body of the Ball Valve is manufactured in a glass reinforced nylon composite with high impact
and tensile strength resulting in a light weight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis issues. The
ball and sealing rings utilise a PTFE polymer to ensure a smooth action, and continuous ease of
operation over many years.

See previous page for Key Features of Tru Design Ball Valves. Position Monitored Ball Valves also have the
following features:
PRODUCT
INFORMATION
KEY FEATURES continued
Feature :
Spanner supplied
A custom fitted spanner greatly simplifies fitting, and
stops the damage caused by pipe wrenches.
Remote indication of seacock position
No need to obtain visual access to sea cocks mounted in places
difficult to access.
Engine ignition interlock
Helps to avoid possible engine overheating caused by
accidental or inadvertent water intake closure.
Allow monitoring from accessible location
Helps alert user or owner that seacock is not open for discharge
avoiding possible outlet pipe explosion.
Remote indication of multiple seacock
positions.
Saves time when leaving a vessel, no need access bilges to
check seacock status.
SPECIFICATIONS
The connecting threads on each end of our ball valves are BSP (British Standard Pipe) and are
parallel. These parallel threads are designed so that thread tape is wound onto a male skin fitting
or tail then screwed into the ball valve. The advantage of parallel threads rather than tapered is
that there is maximum engagement between the mating threads providing a strong and watertight
seal. Mixing parallel and tapered threads can cause strength and sealing problems as the
engagement can frequently be only a few turns.
The Position Monitoring function switches state when the Ball Valve is in the open position.
Maximum switching current – 500mA
