Description
Battery Powered Valve Operator for Drilling, Tapping, and Valve Turning
Product Overview
Valve operating, drilling, and tapping all require a reliable power source in the field. The Reed CPDWW cordless power drive runs on a Bosch 18V battery and handles all three tasks with one tool. Operators switch between operations by changing the drophead. At 15 lbs, this cordless waterworks power drive fits into ditches where corded or pneumatic units cannot reach.
Key Features of this Reed CPDWW Cordless Waterworks Power Drive
Adaptive Drophead Technology
The CPDWW switches between valve turning, drilling, and tapping by changing the drophead. This portable power drive handles multiple operations without swapping to a separate motor. Field crews use the same waterworks drilling and tapping tool for valve exercising, corporation stop drilling, and service tapping.
Two-Layer Safety System
A motor kick-off sensor detects torque spikes or kickbacks and shuts the motor down automatically. The instant-stop paddle switch halts rotation the moment the operator releases their grip. These features make this battery powered valve operator safer in confined spaces and ditches where unexpected resistance is common.
Cordless and Compact for Ditch Work
This cordless waterworks power drive eliminates pneumatic hoses and electric cords that create trip hazards in tight excavations. At 24 inches long and 15 lbs, the unit fits into narrow trenches and confined utility vaults. The carrying handle provides a secure grip and simplifies transport between sites.
4,800 In-Lbs Torque on Bosch 18V Battery
The Reed CPDWW cordless power drive produces 4,800 in-lbs of torque at 36 RPM. The low speed provides controlled rotation for exercising valves and driving tapping tools without over-torquing fittings. Use a minimum 4.0 Ah Bosch 18V slide-style battery for standard work, or 8.0 Ah for extended heavy-duty jobs. Battery and charger sold separately.

Applications
Municipal water crews use this cordless waterworks power drive for valve exercising programs where hundreds of valves need cycling on a set schedule. A cordless power drive for waterworks eliminates the generator or compressor that corded and pneumatic tools require, cutting setup time between valve locations.
Contractors use the Reed CPDWW cordless power drive for corporation stops and service taps. With the TMPDA adapter, the CPDWW becomes a waterworks drilling and tapping tool that connects to Reed TM1100 tapping machines. This portable power drive also handles irrigation main taps, HVAC connections, and industrial valve cycling. Cleanflow carries the Reed CPDWW for sale with compatible Reed accessories.
