KLSA Inline penstock
The KLSA Inline penstock from KWT is a very durable option and is designed to be placed in between of 2 connecting pipes. It can be used for surface- , sewage- and industrial water due to the HDPE and stainless steel combination, and is designed to segment your piping system, for example to seal a segment off in case of a spillage. Because of the non-rising stem, it is possible to install this penstock straight into the ground.

The KLSA Inline penstock from KWT is a very durable option and is designed to be placed in between of 2 connecting pipes. It can be used for surface- , sewage- and industrial water due to the HDPE and stainless steel combination, and is designed to segment your piping system, for example to seal a segment off in case of a spillage. Because of the non-rising stem, it is possible to install this penstock straight into the ground1, with the only visible above ground part being a culvert box for operating the penstock. The penstock is heavy duty and can handle up to 10 meters of water column (mWC), but can also come in very handy in low-pressure situations, like blocking drains on parkings or truck terminals! You mount this product between the pipelines either with a PVC adapter or with the optional flange. Between the (underground) penstock and the culvert box, we can provide additional spindle extensions in HDPE or stainless steel2.
1Please note that even though the yearly maintenance of the penstock is only operating it once up and down, for long-term maintenance it can be necessary to access the penstock!
2For the stainless steel option, we need the exact measurement from the pipeline to the ground level, this size is not adjustable.
