Install / Failure Note

The 14"/16" Type-55 IS is derated to 100 psi from the 150 psi rating that applies at 2"-12" — quoting the smaller size's pressure rating against a 14"/16" wastewater line is a real oversizing/undersizing trap in this family.

CSO and WWTP wastewater lines are exactly where Asahi's own named chemistries — acidic waste, oxidizers, caustics — go to work on a metal butterfly valve's wetted surfaces; the Type-57 LIS's non-wetted 316SS stem and full-seat isolation exist specifically so the metal never touches the media in the first place.
