In 1922, the Belgian company ACV was founded with the dream of providing warmth and comfort to people around the world. Over the last century, ACV evolved into an international industry leader in the manufacturing and supply of quality stainless steel hot water equipment, with flagship technologies such as Tank-in-Tank and HeatMaster.

In August 2018, ACV was acquired by Groupe Atlantic, enabling it to reach new heights and seize new business opportunities, by opening up to previously unexplored markets.

To mark this important new chapter in ACV’s history, and to celebrate in 2022 one hundred years of existence as a brand, ACV updated its company logo and modernized its branding. This change was an evolution rather than a revolution, to show the world that ACV remains true to its DNA, while at the same time embarking on new business ventures.

The new ACV logo is a symbol of stability, craftsmanship and knowhow, all represented by a drop of water sheltering a flame, to convey excellence in hot water solutions.

The BIM content offering of ACV has recently been expanded. Discover the ACV product ranges on MEPcontent.com

Water discharge pipes are an essential component in all building structures, but they can sometimes be noisy and disruptive. The new Pipelife premium sound-insulated piping systems, known as the Master 3 Plus, meet this challenge head on.

The Master 3 Plus reduces noise generated by vibrations, which has been successfully tested at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. Results show that these characteristics make Master 3 Plus Systems quieter than any other sound-absorbing soil and waste piping system on the market. The comparison is based on values published by the producers.

BIM promises a future where all parties can collaborate by sharing project information from initial design through costing, build, delivery and ongoing operations. According to Trimble MEP’s Charles M.E. Lekx, real value can only be achieved when all parties across the construction sector operate in accordance with the same industry standards.

Growing BIM adoption and a need for uniformity within the construction industry worldwide have led to various public and private initiatives to develop standards that overlap in places. Harmonisation will be required as the opportunities for collaboration increase. Well-known standards in the UK and Ireland include ETIM and ETIM MC (European Technical Information Model), the Uniclass 2015 classifications, and the uniform GTIN code, also known as EAN / UPC issued by GS1 and, within the electrotechnical sector, the widely used Luckins data standard.

The App has been updated! The descriptions of the selection have been adapted. In the type description, the connection type and diameter/thread descriptions are added to the selection of the PLiP. And in the parts list (schedule) we added a material column. As a result, there is a better relationship between the documentation of Raccorderie Metalliche and the application. This makes it easier for engineers to order fitting materials.

The free Raccorderie Metalliche Product Line Placer App for Revit makes it easy to design piping systems with accurate and localized Raccorderie Metalliche content. Just click, draw, and the right fittings are automatically added to your piping system. In addition, if you want to make advanced connections with real-world fittings rather than using Revit’s custom fittings, it takes only a few clicks.
Use the in-app predefined schedules and order your items directly from the material lists with a guaranteed up-to-date content.

The following content is included in the App:

• InoxPres


• InoxPres Gas


• InoxPres HT


• InoxPres Steam


• SteelPres


• AESPres


• AESPres Gas


• MarinePres


• Uniko
