Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Ductile Iron: The Advanced and Pro models use ductile iron, offering 20–40% higher tensile strength than traditional cast iron, ideal for high-stress environments.
    • Dual-layer Coating: The Pro’s zinc-plated epoxy coating provides 5x longer corrosion resistance than standard painted finishes.
    • Custom Key Systems: Advanced models allow tailored key designs, enhancing security for multi-user facilities.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Suitable for standard applications (e.g., residential water meters) where basic durability and compliance suffice.
    • Advanced Model: Optimal for industrial or municipal use (e.g., fire hydrants in coastal areas) requiring enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
    • Pro Model: Designed for extreme conditions (e.g., chemical plants or marine environments) where unmatched durability and customization are critical.

With the Pro’s zinc-plated coating, you can ensure corrosion-free operation in saltwater environments. Pair its ductile iron body with a custom key system to create a tamper-proof solution for high-security sites.
