Back Flow Preventers (70 companies)
Back flow preventers are assemblies consisting of two check valves and two shut off valves. These assemblies may also include test cocks for each chamber. Learn more about Back Flow Preventers

Ball Valves (1180 companies)
Ball valves provide tight shut-off and characterizable control. They have high rangeability due to the design of the regulating element, without the complications of side loads typical of butterfly or globe valves.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Ball Valves

Butterfly Valves (724 companies)
Butterfly valves control flow through a circular disc or vane by turning the valve's pivot axis at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow.

Fire sprinkler heads deliver a high-pressure flow of water or dry chemicals to a fire. They are usually are heat-activated and part of a larger fire prevention and safety system. Learn more about Fire Sprinkler Heads

Gas Pressure Regulators (169 companies)
Gas pressure regulators reduce the pressure of a gas, as it passes through a cylinder or process line, to another piece of equipment. Regulators are not flow control devices. They are used to control delivery pressure only.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Gas Pressure Regulators

Gas Valves (305 companies)
Gas valves are used to handle and control the flow of gaseous media such as liquefied petroleum and natural gas. They are made of metal or plastic and vary in terms of valve size, pressure rating, number of ports, and flow.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Gas Valves

Gate Valves (658 companies)
Gate valves and knife valves are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element slides into the media stream to shut off flow.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Gate Valves

Globe Valves (479 companies)
Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived.  They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service. 
Search by Specification | Learn more about Globe Valves

Hydraulic Regulators (54 companies)
Hydraulic regulators maintain the output pressure at a set value. Learn more about Hydraulic Regulators

Hydraulic Valves (463 companies)
Hydraulic valves contain and transfer the flow and pressure of hydraulic fluid in hydraulic power systems. They range from simple shutoff valves to precision control valves.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Hydraulic Valves

Industrial Valves (2833 companies)
Industrial valves are classified in many different ways. They can be distinguished by material of construction, media handled, and/or application.

Mixing Valves (123 companies)
Mixing valves combine the flow of two or more inlets into a single outlet for applications such as temperature and concentration control.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Mixing Valves

Needle Valves (372 companies)
Needle valves are small valves used for flow control in liquid or gas services. The fine threading of the stem and the large seat area allow for precise resistance to flow.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Needle Valves

Pinch Valves (105 companies)
Pinch valves includes any valve with a flexible elastomer body that can be pinched closed, cutting off flow, using a mechanism or fluid pressure.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Pinch Valves

Plastic Valves (206 companies)
Plastic valves are made from plastic materials and are used in applications that require corrosion resistance and/or chemical handling.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Plastic Valves

Plug Valves (271 companies)
Quarter-turn plug valves use a cylindrical or tapered plug with a hole in the center to control straight through flow when in the open position.
