Recent statistics indicate most sinking’s are due to reasons that may surprise you. For every boat that sinks at sea, four boats sink while they are safely moored at their slips!* Corroded fittings, loose clamps, weakened hoses, and failed seals all allow water to collect in the hull. Simply closing the seacocks will virtually eliminate all of those problems – but manual valves are not convenient or easy to get to… so it seldom gets done.

You can significantly reduce this industry wide risk by specifying and installing automatic valves from KZValve. But that’s only the beginning…KZValve can automate almost any valve for a marine application; thus providing new found security and convenience for owners and improving space constraints for design engineers. This adds up to the ability to build a better craft.

The Solution KZValve automated valves can be programmed to control a wide variety of valves upon operator command, engine start up, intelligent system directives, or via manual operation. KZValve automatic valves can be used in conjunction with manual seacocks. KZValve gives you the ability to design an automated system for operating multiple automatic valves that perform synchronous tasks in a precise, verifiable mode of action.
