A brief overview of impregnation valves

PROTOX impregnation valves are used for the efficient introduction of impregnating agents into timber. They allow timber to be treated from the inside out, which is particularly important for combating and preventing fungal and insect attack. The solution is especially well-suited for large complex timber structures, surface-treated timber, and where ordinary surface treatment is not sufficiently effective.  

Application of Impregnation Valves

  1. Drill holes in the wood with the same diameter as the valve
  2. Drill with a distance of approx. 10–15 cm and to approx. 12 mm from the opposite side  
  3. Insert the valve into the hole and knock it in with a hammer
  4. Connect the spray/pump and inject the impregnating agent (5–10 bar)  
  5. Repeat the treatment after 12–24 hours for optimal effect  

OBS!

  • The valves should remain in the wood for later finishing.
  • Ensure correct pressure (5–10 bar) for optimal distribution
  • Always follow the instructions for the waterproofing agent used
