KSA Isolation Penstocks – Simple but effective

• Quick and Easy to install
• Lightweight yet robust
• Virtually maintenance free
• Various mounting arrangements
• Low torque to operate

ACE KSA Penstocks are available in a number of forms, tailored to your requirements. They are manufactured in HDPE and Stainless Steel 316L, making them lightweight for ease of handling and installation, without compromising strength. Installation of the penstocks is very simple, with no need to grout on the majority of applications, and all fixings and seals supplied as part of the package, most penstocks can be fitted and used in a single shift.

Once installed, ACE penstocks require very little attention, as greasing is not required in most cases, and the construction of the penstock gate is self-aligning, with no fiddly wedges, and an integrated EPDM seal.

Although ACE stock a wide variety of sizes of Penstock for quick dispatch, our equipment can be customised to suit specific requirements, either to adhere to particular specifications, or to save complicated construction, or modification to existing structures.

ACE have installed penstocks from the KWT range for over 20 years, with the KSA-MD being one of our most long-standing products, due to it’s continuously growing popularity throughout our customer base, now being specified for use in an ever-increasing range of applications. For more information on our previous penstock projects, please see our case studies.
