Philadelphia Scientific Introduces Valve for Tough Environments



An upgrade to the Instant Valve(TM) designed specifically for difficult, abusive environments

MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa., August 29, 2006 - Philadelphia Scientific, a leading international manufacturer of industrial battery components, accessories and tools, has introduced the Instant Valve Pro(TM) on/off valve for battery watering systems, an optional upgrade to the standard Instant Valve(TM). Featuring a heavy duty brass valve body that is abuse resistant, the new valve was designed specifically for customers in facilities with extraordinarily abusive conditions. The Instant Valve Pro, which can be ordered at an additional cost, is compatible with all Philadelphia Scientific Injector Water Supplies and easy self-installation makes upgrading simple.

Instant Valve and Instant Valve Pro control water flow into a Water Injector System from a water supply. Squeezing the ergonomically designed handle activates a Rapid Response Valve that actuates on contact-so there is no way to choke or throttle the water flow. A flow indicator provides visual indication that the Water Injector string is full, helping to minimize the risk of overfilling a battery. The Instant Valve Pro also comes with a 35 PSI (pound-force per square inch) pressure regulator to ensure proper filling.

"We recognize that our products are often used in tough environments surrounded by harsh, abusive materials," said Harold Vanasse, vice president of sales and marketing for Philadelphia Scientific. "We've responded by creating the Instant Valve Pro which is tough enough for even the most difficult environments while still providing the quality and precision expected of our products."
