Why A.Y. McDonald's Regulated Hose Kit is the Whole (Bypass) Package

The greatest appeal to bypass technology is the ability to perform maintenance, inspection, or meter changeouts without interruption of gas flow for the consumer. Since 2006, A.Y. McDonald has been providing a solution with our self-contained bypass meter bars, angle bypass ball valves, and inline bypass ball valves. In 2018, we introduced the Portable Bypass Kit, which allows the technician to bypass the angle bypass ball valve with a tank system. Due to the success found in these products, 2020 brings with it yet another bypass option to add to the mix: the Regulated Hose Kit.

A.Y. McDonald’s new Regulated Hose Kit is designed to provide technicians with a safe and easy way to bypass at the job site without the need for an external tank to be transported in order to perform a meter set inspection, maintenance, meter change out, regulator, riser valve, or sample testing. The kit itself is durable and lightweight and can be used with our angle body valves and inline bypass ball valves, allowing continuous service to the customer. This means no reschedules, no loss of pilot lights, and no interruption of service. Having an adapter valve size of 3/8” and regulator pressure of 6-8” WC gives the user flexibility in the meter sets they are servicing.
