Emergency portable valve operation
February 1st 2010

The Easi-Drive portable valve actuator from Smith Flow Control provides wastewater treatment plants with emergency operation of valves in the event of a power failure. Easi- Drive can open or close electric actuated valves during a power outage to protect against overflows.

In the event of an outage, an operator can use Easi-Drive powered by an electric generator to make the required valve movements until power is restored.

Easi-Drive is a fully portable, lightweight and adaptable tool available in electric, pneumatic and battery powered modes. Suitable for all hazardous areas, Easi-Drive reduces work crew tasks down to oneman operation and eliminates operator fatigue and risk of injury.

The tool's reaction device protects the operator from the "kick" normally associated with a torque wrench.
