Inline Penstock – AQUIKO Pipe-Mounted Gate

The AQUIKO Inline Penstock is engineered specifically for installations within a pipeline or culvert — offering a full-flow, compact gate solution that integrates directly into the pipe run. Ideal for contractors and resellers seeking a high-quality, stock-ready solution for surface-water, effluent, industrial and agricultural flows. According to AQUIKO’s specification, the standard series covers DN 100–600 mm and DN 700–1200 mm pipe diameters.

Key Features & Benefits

• Designed for full through-flow within the pipeline with minimal disruption — excellent for retrofit and new-build civil works.

• Materials: HDPE and stainless steel (316) — corrosion-resistant, suitable for aggressive service conditions and underground/chamber mounting.

• Operation options: manual hand-wheel / hand­wheel spindle, or actuator (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic) for automated installations.

• Self-cleaning design with non-rising stem: ensures reliable closure and long service life even where there’s debris or variable flow.

• Flexible mountings: can be installed via flange or butt-weld, in-line with piping systems, above or below ground.

Technical Specification Snapshot

• Size Range: DN 100 to DN 600 (standard) and DN 700 to DN 1200 (on request)

• Material Options: HDPE body with stainless steel components (for corrosion resistance)

• Mounting & Connection: Flanged, electrofusion, butt-weld or mechanical coupling to suit new or retrofit pipelines.

• Operation: Manual via hand-wheel or automated-actuator compatible. Non-rising stem design for chamber installations.

• Design Life: Built for robust long-term service — comparable systems are often rated 50 years.

Applications & Use Cases

The AQUIKO Inline Penstock is especially suited for:

• Pipeline or culvert systems where flow control or isolation is required without major structural works

• Effluent, industrial, surface-water or agricultural water systems where in-line access and control are needed

• Retrofit operations in manholes or chambers: non-rising stem allows installation beneath cover or within restricted head-space

• Contractor stock lines or reseller inventory where reliability, flexibility and rapid deployment are key
