M-CEX
M-CEX™ — the fast, easy to use system for replacement of gas valves under controlled conditions.
The Meter Control Exchange (M-CEX™) system is a versatile, safe and efficient method of exchanging leaking valves from gas pipework systems under controlled ‘live’ gas conditions.
Key benefits include:
- Specifically designed for operation in restricted areas
- Significant reduction in the time consumers are off gas
- Avoids the need for planned maintenance operations to isolate pipework systems particularly in multi-occupancy environments
- Considerably reduces operational costs
How M-CEX™ works. . .
The system is designed using our unique Stargland™ gas seal technology and includes a range of rigid and flexible stoppers suitable for metallic and polyethylene (PE) pipes.
M-CEX™ kits are available for metallic mains sized 1⁄2'' to 2'' and PE pipes 16mm to 32mm diameter.
Applications:
- Can be used on 1⁄2'' to 2'' pipes.
- Can be used on pipework systems up to 75mbar operating pressure.
- Designed to exchange a wide range of gas valves including emergency control valves (ECV).
- Can be used on metallic and PE pipe systems.
- Can be used on 3⁄4'', 1 & 11⁄4'' metallic pipe systems containing long and short radius bends.
- Contains adaptors for BSP and BS 746 threads.

CaPEX
CaPEX™ — the safe, versatile system for removing caps and plugs from gas pipework systems and replacing them with an EPV (emergency control valve)
CaPEX™ isa fully tested and approved system for removal of a cap / plug and subsequent replacement with an emergency control valve (ECV).
Key benefits include:
- Specifically designed for operation in restricted areas
- Significant reduction in the time consumers are off gas
- Avoids the need for planned maintenance operations to isolate pipework systems particularly in multi-occupancy environments
CaPEX™ at a glance. .
The Cap and Plug Exchange (CaPEX®) system is designed to deliver a complete procedure without the need to isolate the supply and riser system. It can also be used to determine if a gas pipe is ‘live’ or ‘dead’.
CaPEX® is based on our unique Stargland™ gas seal technology and is fully integrated to work with our meter control valve exchange system (M-CEX™) for use with all types of gas valve.
This innovative system offers two methods of exchange:
• The CaPEX® tool comprises a plastic bodied valve and gland assembly and is approved to UK gas industry standards for use up to 75mbar.
• The CaPEX® bag system is a transparent laminated plastic bag system and is approved to UK gas industry standards for use up to 50mbar.
Applications:
- Can be used on 1⁄2'', 3⁄4'' & 1'' pipes.
- Can be used on pipework systems up to 75mbar operating pressure.
- Can remove a wide range of cap types including hexagonal, webbed and cylindrical.
- Can remove a wide range of plugs.
- Can be used on pipe systems containing bends.
- Attachments are available for use on copper riser and lateral systems.
