Valves
Valves are pipe fittings. but,
given their regulatory function
– responsive to pressure,
temperature, or flow – they
are pipe fittings like no others
and warrant a category all to
themselves. They are essential
to the design, manufacture,
acceptance, and serviceability
of vital products across a
spectrum of heavy and light
industry.
The makers of valves for tube
products also serve many
other masters, in the military,
commercial, residential, and
transport fields. Theirs is a
wide world of applications
from water taps to heart
valves — all calling, at a
minimum, for a guaranteed
leak-tight seal between tube
and fitting over a long,
maintenance-free life. It is the
sphere of experienced
professionals confident of
satisfying high expectations.
