GATES
In METACOL within our main products we have the commercialization of GATES in HD; These are hydraulic or mechanical elements, whose function is the regulation of the transit of water or any other fluid in pipes, canals, dams, locks, bypass works, among other hydraulic structures. Guillotine Gate with HD Shutter AWWA C-513 / C-561 /C-563 Key points for the selection of our gates SELECTION The correct selection of a certain type of side gate depends on many factors: the maximum fluid pressure head, the type of fluid, the number of seals required, the type of seal required, the depth of the installation, the drive system, the operating position, available space, width, stem length (distance from the center of the gate to the upper point from actuator to maneuvering column). ACCESSORIES NECESSARY FOR STEM INSTALLATION: Made of stainless steel. They allow the operation of the gate acting as a screw. MANEUVERING COLUMN: It ensures stem guidance and gate operation from the maneuvering surface. GUIDE SUPPORT: In installation depths greater than 2 meters it is convenient to use guide supports that control and guide the movement of the stem. MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE: The maximum operating pressure is 5 m.c.a. For higher working pressures, the METACOL technical department should be consulted beforehand. SEAL TESTS: According to AWWA C-513 / C-561 / C-563 standard. PAINT COATING: According to AWWA C-550. OPERATION: An opening and closing cycle. INSTALLATION You must take into account the following technical information: Assembly plan or installation according to the type of gate. Overall Plan of the Gate.

WET BARREL TRAFFIC HYDRANT
In METACOL within our main products we have the commercialization of HYDRANTS; Popularly known as fire hydrants, they are hydraulic devices, connected to a water supply network, intended to supply water in case of fire. General aspects of our products: Product Manufacturing according to Resolution 0501 of August 4, 2017 / Ministry of Housing, City and Territory. Norm: AWWA C-503 / C-502 Features The hydrant consists of two bodies, its seal is located on the lower elbow ensuring that, at the time of a vehicular collision with the breakage of the fuse screws of the flanged union between bodies, the closure of the hydrant is maintained in the buried body in order to control the fluid. The color of the upper body is manufactured according to the requested flow rate.Nominal diameter: DN 4"(100 mm) - 6"(150 mm) WORKING PRESSURE 200 PSI For higher working pressures, the METACOL technical department should be consulted beforehand. EXTREME CONDITIONS OF USE- Continuous pressures above the recommended pressures can cause the product to not operate properly.
- Prolonged exposure to the elements (sun's rays) affect the color of the coating.
- Operate the hydrant's main valve at least three times a year with an opening and closing cycle.
- In case of leakage by the seal of the stem, the O'Rings on top must be replaced.
- If the hydrant leaks in its seal, the condition of the seat and shutter should be checked, which must not present breakdowns or scratches.
- In case of damage to the seal, the seat and / or the shutter of the hydrant must be replaced.
