Replacement options for Ames Backflow Prevention Valves
Replace your Existing Ames Valve with a made-to-measure MetCheck Valve
Replacing an existing Ames backflow prevention valve does not necessarily mean modifying the surrounding pipework.
Hydromet can manufacture a MetCheck valve to match the face-to-face length of an existing Ames valve. This allows the old valve to be removed and the new MetCheck valve installed within the existing space, minimising onsite pipework modifications, installation time and disruption.
Why choose a MetCheck replacement?
Manufactured to match the existing installation
MetCheck valves can be manufactured to match the required face-to-face dimensions of the existing Ames valve. This can significantly simplify replacement projects where altering the surrounding pipework would be difficult, disruptive or expensive.
Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel
MetCheck valve bodies are manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, providing an upgrade from the 304 stainless steel construction used on many older Ames valves.
The 316 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and is well suited to demanding Australian water infrastructure and installation environments.
WaterMark Approved
MetCheck backflow prevention valves are WaterMark approved under license WM-022473, providing confidence that they have been independently assessed for use in Australian plumbing installations.
Australian Made
MetCheck valves are manufactured in Australia by Hydromet. Local manufacturing also gives us the flexibility to accommodate replacement dimensions and project-specific requirements.
Reliable Components and accessible spare parts
Our valves are manufactured using carefully selected components and quality sealing materials. Replacement check modules, rubber components and other spare parts are readily available, helping make future servicing and maintenance straightforward.
A practical replacement solution
A made-to-measure MetCheck valve can offer:
- Minimal or no modification to the existing pipework
- Reduced installation time and onsite labour
- Marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction
- WaterMark-approved Australian manufacturing
- Easy access to replacement components and spare parts
- Local technical and after-sales support
Enquire about an Ames valve replacement
To determine the correct MetCheck replacement, the following information is important:
- Existing valve manufacturer and model
- Valve size
- Face-to-face measurement
- Flanged or roll-grooved connections
- Photographs of the valve and surrounding pipework
Our team can review the information and recommend a suitable replacement configuration.
