Manual valves are among the most critical needs of any industry. Our offering includes the following valves.
Gate Valves
Gate Valves are primarily designed to start or stop flow, and when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum flow restriction are needed. In service, these Valves generally are either fully open or fully closed.
The disk of a Gate Valve is completely removed when the Valve is fully open; the disk is fully drawn up into the Valve Bonnet. This leaves an opening for flow through the Valve at the same inside diameter as the pipesystem in which the Valve is installed.
Wedge type, parallel side and through conduit type Gate valves are available for a wide range of pressure ratings and sizes ( 1/2" to 48") .
Globe Valve
The fundamental principle of the Globe Valve operation is the perpendicular motion of the disk away from the seat. This ensures that the ring-shaped space between the disk and seat ring gradually close as the Valve is closed. This property gives a Globe Valve reasonably good throttling capability. Therefore, the Globe Valve can be used for starting and stopping flow and to regulate flow.
Globe valves from 150 class to 2500 Class and 1/2" to 12" are available.
Ball Valves
A Ball Valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion Valve that uses a ball-shaped disk to stop or start flow. If the Valve is opened, the ball rotates to a point where the hole through the ball is in line with the Valve body inlet and outlet. If the Valve is closed, the ball is rotated so that the hole is perpendicular to the flow openings of the Valve body and the flow is stopped.
Floating, trunnion mounted, one piece and three piece ball valves are available for various pressure ratings and sizes.
Check Valves
Check Valves are "automatic" Valves that open with forward flow and close with reverse flow. The pressure of the fluid passing through a system opens the Valve, while any reversal of flow will close the Valve. Exact operation will vary depending on the type of Check Valve mechanism.
Swing check, Piston check, single plate and dual plate check valves are available for various pressure ratings and sizes.
Plug Valves
A Plug Valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion Valve that use a tapered or cylindrical plug to stop or start flow. In the open position, the plug-passage is in one line with the inlet and outlet ports of the Valve body. If the plug 90° is rotated from the open position, the solid part of the plug blocks the port and stops flow. Plug Valves are similar to Ball Valves in operation.
We offer plug valves of various sizes and pressure ratings.
Butterfly Valves
A Butterfly Valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion Valve, that is used to stop, regulate, and start flow. Butterfly Valves are easy and fast to open. A 90° rotation of the handle provides a complete closure or opening of the Valve. Large Butterfly Valves are usually equipped with a so-called gearbox, where the handwheel by gears is connected to the stem. This simplifies the operation of the Valve, but at the expense of speed.
Our offering includes butterfly valves of various sizes, materials of construction and pressure ratings.
