Install / Failure Note

AVCO's own marketing text references cast iron while its materials list names only 304SS/316SS/Hastelloy — a real, unresolved discrepancy in the vendor's own copy, worth confirming directly with AVCO before quoting cast iron on this valve.

Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
