It uses dual hydraulic locking disc brakes with push button release that’s designed to hold the full torque force of the machine while operating. Built to last, the ERV-750 arm is constructed with a strong 3in square steel box section to resist twisting forces. Available as a standalone option, it’s the ideal valve exerciser for water organizations of all sizes. The ERV-750 Low Stack model is ideal for mounting to trailers, skids, and flatbed trucks.

When you need the Mack Daddy of valve exercisers, step up to Wachs TM-7 Plus. It’s designed to free and exercise the larger or older valves often found in bigger or more established cities. Difficult or impossible to operate when the need arises, simply applying brute force on these valves trying to exercise or free them up can break or damage the valve stem, leaving costly replacement as the only option. For that reason you need more than just power, you also need control and intelligence, which is exactly what the TM-7 Plus offers. Wachs TM-7 Plus automatically conforms to the AWWA Valve Exercising Standard, allowing a single operator to exercise and rehabilitate these stubborn valves, even ones you may already have scheduled for replacement. If it’s not broken the TM-7 will likely turn it without damaging it. Featuring a precision hydraulic drive system, the TM-7 Plus uses a onboard computer and advanced programming as its primary means for controlling torque and direction during operation; however as a backup, the Plus adds manual control of torque, direction of rotation and counts. Its design places the hydraulic motor and drive gear on a smooth, ball bearing equipped, lockable slide that offers compact dimensions with increased energy transfer. Available as a standalone option with truck and trailer mounting options, it’s offered in two models: 17-000-33 TM-7 SD Plus Standard Duty Plus that develops up to 1500 ft-lbs (2034 Nm) of torque* 17-000-32 TM-7 HD Plus Heavy Duty Plus which develops 2500 ft-lbs (3390 Nm) of torque* TM-7 Plus models are fully compatible with VITALS Software and come standard with Bluetooth for communication with a variety of data logging programs. *Requires VITALS Datalogger sold separately. -
he Wachs Pow-R-Drive 2 ("Power-Drive 2") or P-2 is a handheld valve turner/valve exerciser engineered for maintaining and operating critical valves. This portable and rugged workhorse is designed for daily use. Water utilities, municipal water services, and fire departments use the P-2 on valves and hydrants with standard operator nuts and non-rising-stem handwheels (with an optional adapter). Why Pow-R-Drive 2?- Easy to set up and operate, using a Pow-R-Drive is more productive than turning valves by hand with t-handles.
- The P-2 can prevent common injuries caused by hand-turning valves with a valve key wrench.
- The Pow-R-Drive 2 works hard, so the valve crew won't be worn out from opening and closing valves all day.
- It provides enough torque for stubborn valves, and your operator will be less likely to shear off a valve nut.
- They're ideal for hard-to-reach valves.
- Using a Pow-R-Drive 2 can save money and prevent damage in fast shut-off situations.

Vitals Software is comprised of two modules, Vitals Mobile and Vitals Desktop. Here’s how it works: Wachs VITALS equipped machines contain the necessary motors and sensors, VITALS software contains the operating and recordability instructions, and our TC-100 tabletcontroller provides the microprocessor brains and memory. VITALS combined with our customized controllers offer users the most precise control of valve operation ever invented. Digital torque and turn displays provide clear insight into a valve’s condition, while the electronic torque sensor records the torque chart. Adjustable torque control limits include indicators that signal when preset limits are reached, and trigger auto shut down or auto reverse to prevent valve damage. Wachs TC-100 controller gives you the option to control the equipment wired or wireless via Bluetooth®. It helps keep your crew curbside, out of traffic where accidents can and do occur. Vitals gives you the ability to safely and remotely exercise valves, capture the data, and transfer it to your desktop. As the industry leader in valve exercising systems for decades, we can still say nobody else has anything like it! -

Wachs DW Guillotine® 208 Diamond Wire pipe saw is a faster and safer method of cutting 2 inch to 8 inch (DN50-200) pipe including steel, ductile, cast iron, concrete (CA), poly, PVC and mixed media. Secured to the pipe, the DWG 208 utilizes a fully enclosed, high speed diamond infused cutting wire that cuts quickly and precisely. Its compact design features stainless steel construction, with a collapsible, folding arm design that allows it to be easily stored and transported. Every DWG 208 saw comes complete with a custom carrier for protection, plus a carrier mounted water tank and spray lubricant. These saws do not bind like traditional saws, eliminating the kickback dangers associated with gasoline powered handheld chain saws or abrasive wheel devices that can occur from pipe compression or shifting. The DWG 208 is hydraulically powered using a sealed loop that can run in water, eliminating the danger of gas fumes collecting when working down in the ground. Apart from the cutting area, the diamond wire is fully enclosed within the saw for safety. The diamond wire is designed to slightly rotate radially while cutting, allowing all the diamond elements to come into contact with the workpiece. Due to the longevity of the diamond cutting wire Wachs DW series saws feature one of the lowest costs per cut in the industry, and a much lower cost of consumables over the life of the machine than other cutting devices. -
The big brother to Wachs DW Guillotine® 208 diamond wire saw, the DWG 416 is designed for cutting 4 inch to 16 inch (DN100-400) pipe including steel, ductile, cast iron, concrete (CA), poly, PVC and mixed media. The DWG 416 features exceptional build quality, with stainless steel and aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, and a collapsible, folding arm design that allows it to be easily transported and stored. Like all Wachs cutting solutions, the DWG 416 is secured to the pipe by a quick, secure chain mounting system, eliminating the danger of kickback accidents due to binding from pipe shifting or compression cuts. Hydraulically powered using a sealed loop, the DWG 416 can operate under the most extreme conditions, including full water immersion, and is ideal for cutting in restrictive spaces. The DWG series diamond wire is long lasting, giving the DWG 416 one of the lowest costs per cut in the industry. Like the smaller DWG 208, it utilizes a fully enclosed, high speed diamond infused cutting wire that rotates radially while cutting, allowing all the diamond elements to come into contact with the workpiece. Apart from the safety advantages, the lower cost of consumables over the life of the machine compared to handheld devices will offset its higher initial cost. Top mounted controls for wire speed and feed allow the operator to select the optimum settings for a quick, clean cut. -

Valve Nut Rx is Designed To:- Replace a rounded, corroded, or inoperable operator nut.
- Replace a missing operator nut.
- Replace corroded hardware securing the nut.
