Notes from the vendor documentation
Wastewater treatment is named among the industries for the 5-family metal-replacement set — industry-list evidence, not a wastewater-specific spec. The MAV pairing matters here: gate valves are multi-turn, so the quarter-turn CAV/SAV actuators do not apply and MAV is the only Series 19 sub-model rated for them.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Type P Gate Valve pressure/temp | 150 psi @ 70°F for 1-1/2"-8" | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Series 19 MAV duty cycle & enclosure | 75% duty cycle, NEMA 4X enclosure | Asahi/America — General Catalog (Valves, Actuators, Piping Systems, Welding Equipment) |
Gate valves being multi-turn is the operative fact here — MAV is the only Series 19 sub-model rated for them, so an automated wastewater gate valve quote has to spec the actuator sub-model correctly, not just the torque class.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
