What’s important when a professional comes to a property to tackle a plumbing problem or diagnose water and sewer infrastructure?

Well, their experience is important, as people will often tell you. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to really look critically at somebody who shows up and isn’t completely qualified to deal with their water or sewer problem.

But another component of this is involved access.

It’s like one of our technicians said recently. When you go to the property, you need systems to be accessible. That means that key appliances and parts of systems should not have other items sitting on top of them. It means that a meter or other access point should not be walled off by a heaping mountain of junk. And it also means that the taps and endpoints of the system need to be able to open and close the right way.

In a way, this goes back to the idea of people saying that certain kinds of utility and contracting work are mainly a question of logistics. There is a step-by-step process that has to be followed, and tools that you need in order to get there.

Another way to think about it is that this work is not just a question of opinion. Mechanical systems respond to very specific interventions in a way that is foreign to some kinds of white-collar industries or types of knowledge work.

So having the right tools is critically important.

Our Catalog

There’s a phenomenon in this industry where metal pieces can fuse together in ways that make it difficult to open and close valves or other access points.

Here we offer high-quality actuator systems along with things like drive plates and adapters. When you look through our catalog, you can see how the durable metal cap plate and pin designs create the torque necessary to move pieces.

We also offer a range of transportation-related equipment like dollies and hand trucks. All of it comes with a standard, and a guarantee of quality. So take a look around – we think you’ll like what you see – and contact Eze-Turn for what you need for industrial and professional work. Be confident when you roll out to a property that you’ll have the tools to get into the systems that you need access to – so that the work can be done to everyone’s satisfaction, on schedule and on task!

Portable Actuators are used to help carry out many different tasks in the construction industry. Lightweight and affordable, actuators help defeat the most challenging environments, enabling various functions from basic hand movements to complex tasks involving valves, wheels and regulator mechanisms. 

Whether it’s working on road surfaces, pipelines, equipment in factories or mine workings, there are many applications in the industry that require the efficient use of portable actuators.

EZE Turn manufactures an extensive range of PVA systems, drive plates & adapters, and compressors employing our unique performance engineering techniques along with the latest technology for advanced reliability and performance. Check out below how our portable valve actuators benefit you:

Enhances Safety

When valves are operated manually, including by not using a safety handgrip, they can unexpectedly close and cause a force interference injury to the employee. While few of these injuries result in catastrophic events with property damage, the potential for serious personal injury exists. These injuries are because operators use their hands and wrists rather than their feet and legs to operate industrial valves. 

There is increasing pressure on the hands and arms when closing or opening an industrial valve with this practice. If the force needed to move the handle isn’t strong enough, injured employees may develop chronic pain in the hands and wrists. Accidental injuries such as the shearing of blood vessels in the hands can also result from fatigue related to repetitive motion without adequate rest.

With wide application in areas with high power demands, non-blocking performance, ease of closing and robust life, the EZE Turn PVA is an excellent solution for any valve. They minimize the danger that arises from the manual opening of valves when they are held in position by an operator due to their ability to open valves in a difficult position quickly. 

This makes them an invaluable addition to any facility’s toolbox. The EZE Turn PVA offers significant advantages to existing equipment and can be adapted to almost any machine. Operators’ exposure time is drastically reduced, and the threat of electrical shock or explosive atmospheres no longer exists.

Reduces Manpower

Back in the past, turning valves took hours, each man down to his knees pulling on the valve stem. The cost of this manual labor is enormous. The EZE Turn PVA eliminates the need for manual valve handling during plant stops, saving you time, labor, and money. By leaving the instrument connected to your pneumatic actuator, you can operate a single or multiple valves within minutes.
