3922). The BV 120 Whisper Flood Stop Isolating Valve offers
an integrated ball valve to conveniently isolate the damaged
hose should a failure occur. The ball valve also assists with
tapware maintenance. An inline gauze filter is also supplied
to ensure that contaminants in the water supply cannot
impede performance of the Flood Stop function.
If a hose failure occurs and the Flood Stop Valve is
activated, a simple flat bladed screw driver is all that is
required to reset the valve.
“Our target market is predominantly multi-storey
buildings because that’s where the greatest amount of
flood damage can occur, particularly in unit and office
developments. That’s not to say stand alone residential
properties don’t benefit from the Whisper Flood Stop
Isolating Valve though. A hose burst in the toilet would flood
the whole house. Home owners would then be left to replace
carpets, floorboards and electrical goods. That could take
weeks or even months to fix everything. And it’s not so much
the issue of whether you have insurance or not, it’s the
inconvenience of the time taken to rectify everything.”
With water saving nowadays being a priority the BV 120
has an extra feature that guards against any outlet using an
excessive amount of water. Should the flow rate of any fixture
that the BV 120 is attached to exceed 11 litres per minute, the
Flood Stop Isolating Valve will activate, requiring the inline flow
regulator or tap aerator flow control to be replaced and the
valve reset before the water flow will start again.
Con-serv has a ten million dollar product assurance
warranty, meaning that if a Whisper Flood Stop Isolating
Valve has been installed, and a flood occurs at the point of
installation, it will cover your client up to ten million dollars
to cover the damage.
With that in mind, it’s pretty easy to see how strongly
Con-Serv stand by their product.
