Coplastix products from Ashbrook Simon-Hartley arethe performance leaders in flow control equipment.When used in the fabrication of a number of productsincluding sluice gates, stop gates and logs, and flapvalves. Coplastix offers numerous advantages...

Coplastix is lighter, weighing as little as 20% ofsimilar cast iron products. The friction coefficient ofCoplastix is only 10% of that of conventional metal-to-metal faces. These two factors combine to makeCoplastix products significantly easier to operatemanually or they require smaller, less expensiveactuators

All Coplastix products are much easier to install thancast iron

Coplastix products are exceptionally water tight andexceed AWWA requirements

Coplastix products are corrosion free and resistantto chemicals and petroleum products

Coplastix products feature smooth surfaces thatresist marine growth and are easily cleaned

Coplastix is extremely durable Coplastix products do not experience problems

related to thermal expansion Coplastix products may be confidently used for

ambient temperatures ranging from -50F to +180F Coplastix is totally unlike plastic or fiberglass, in

fact, it is rated as Class I fire resistant Coplastix products are backed by decades of

dependable performance

Coplastix, in reality, is a system for product fabri-cation. In a Coplastix design, a special milled carbonsteel matrix is utilized to serve as a skeleton giving theproduct structural strength equal to that of cast iron.The structure is then encapsulated by specially formulat-ed synthetic composite Coplastix materials.

Flap ValvesCoplastix Flap Valves are available for sizes 4"- 24" in

diameter and rectangular for widths 20" and larger. forapplications where standard flap valves could experiencea strong surf or backsurge, flexible flap valves are avail-able. We are the original patent holder, with over 20years experience.

All flap valves can be used in applications calling fordischarge, where prevention of reverse flow back into theline is necessary...water works, sewage and industrialeffluent treatment discharge areas are but a few of themany possible applications for these valves. Coplastix flapvalves enjoy a number of advantages over cast iron...

Lighter, easier to install Quieter operation since metal-to-metal contact is

eliminated Corrosion-free frames and door Door surface does not support marine growth Hinges cannot seize and offer an almost unlimited

life expectancyCircular flap valves are constructed solely of Coplastix

materials and may be either wall-mounted or pipe-mounted. Rectangular flap valves employ a Coplastixdoor and frame of specially milled and coated steel.Flexible flap valves employ a specially developed rubber-ized Coplastix compound for the door.

Weirplates and ScumboardsWeirplates and scumboards are employed in scum

separation and weir-edge applications in both circularand rectangular settling tanks. Either can be manufac-tured to virtually any length, depth, and profile.

Coplastix weirplates are available with either astraight edge or as a notched type (V, semi-circular, rec-tangular, or trapezoidal) for use where fluctuations inflow rates are to be expected.

Oversized mounting holes are provided to makeadjustment of the weirline simple and special Coplastixelastomer is bonded to the wall side ensuring an effectiveseal with the wall, without the use of mastic. Cleaning ofCoplastix weirplates and scumboards is made easy by theirsmooth finish, algae resistant surface (hose off).

Operating EquipmentThere is a variety of operating equipment available to

work with Coplastix equipment, sluice gates in particular.This equipment uses special corrosion-resistant Coplastixpolyolefin in stem nuts, thrust washer, and guide brackets.This material has an extremely low friction coefficient,requiring no lubrication.

Operating equipment can be defined in the followingmanner:DriveHandwheel, Square Cap, Gearbox, Actuator,

Pneumatic Cylinder, Hydraulic CylinderMountingDirect On, Pedestal Direct On, Pedestal

Mounted on Coping, Pedestal Overhungfrom Coping, or Floor Box

Coplastix sluice gates can also be equipped with posi-tion indicators. A clear Indicator Tube or a Traveling NutIndicator are available to detail the position of the doorat a glance. All are supplied as specified by the engineer.

Typical Fabrication of Coplastix ProductWatertight Stoplogs

Stoplogs from Ashbrook Simon-Hartley are particu-larly suitable in situations where temporary or infre-quent isolation of a channel is necessary. Whetherlocated in the channel or wall-mounted at the end ofthe channel, stoplogs provide a watertight means tovary weir depth with little effort in handling. Coplastixstoplogs can be equipped with either eyebolts or SSpegs for easy, accessible handling. For larger stoplogsspecially designed lifting beams are available. Coplastixstoplogs are designed with the lower frame cross mem-ber placed flush with the channel invert offering noobstruction to a smooth flow. This eliminates ineffi-cient turbulence and material buildup.

Coplastix stoplog frames are either mounted inchannel recess or are wall-mounted. These stoplogs arefabricated of Coplastix materials placed over a specialsteel matrix. All areas of contact are of incompatibleCoplastix, eliminating sticking. Smooth catch-freemovement make the stoplogs exceptionally easy tooperate, each and every time.

Stopgates and Stoplogs

Watertight StopgatesWatertight stopgates from Ashbrook Simon-Hartley

are designed for hand operated flow control channels.Whether mounted in channels or wall-mounted, allgates feature the lower frame member positioned levelwith the invert for straight through flow with no turbu-lence created or grit deposits formed.

In sizes 6"- 20" in width, only the Coplastix materialis employed. In gates 24" in width and larger, theCoplastix slide is contained and supported by a specialsteel frame for additional rigidity. To facilitate lifting,the gates 20" and smaller employ a hand hole at thetop of the door. All gate contact faces are constructedof incompatible Coplastix in order to eliminate stickingand permit easy operation. The product's reducedweight also adds to overall ease of operation.

Sluice GatesCoplastix Sluice Gates from Ashbrook Simon-Hartley

are available in wall-mounted, flush, invert, channel-mounted, and downward opening weir versions. Thechannel and wall mount gates are equipped for square,rectangular, or circular openings, while the weir gatesare offered in square or rectangular openings. Allgates deliver a superior seal with a leakage rate of 0.05gallons per minute per foot of seating perimeter forseating heads and 0.10 for unseating heads, which istwice as good as allowed by the AWWA standards.

Usually it is standard practice to position sluicegates in seating positions so that the head will tend topush the door to its seat, but with Coplastix this isunnecessary. Coplastix offers the only sluice gates thatare equally capable of delivering dependable perfor-mance even in unseating heads, making themunmatched in versatility and reliability.

All Coplastix sluice gates are built for dependableperformance. Special milled steel matrices lendstrength to the durable Coplastix doors. All contactfaces are made from incompatible materials for mini-mum friction. The result of this type of construction isa lighter gate that can be handled easier when manual-ly operated and requires less horsepower when actua-tors are employed.

Wall-Mounted Sluice GatesCoplastix wall-mounted sluice gates combine

dependable flow control with ease of installation.These gates require no special concrete work, and dueto their lighter weight, can be installed in less thanthree hours. While Ashbrook Simon-Hartley wall-mounted sluice gates are available in all standard sizes,special orders present no problem, nor delay.

Channel-Mounted Sluice GatesChannel-mounted sluice gates are available with a

choice of square and rectangular openings. These gatesare designed to be mounted in knock-out recesses thatare much smaller than those required for cast iron, typi-cally avoiding any special placement of reinforcementsor necessitating over-width walls.

Downward Opening WeirSluice Gates

Weir sluice gates are designed for applicationswhere a level weir-edge must be maintained in all posi-tions. These gates are normally wall-mounted butother methods of installation can be employed.Coplastix Weir Sluice Gates are available in a variety ofsizes with the choice of square or rectangular openings.For special applications, custom orifices or doors in thegate can be provided.
