Technical

How do I choose the right valve?

Valve selection depends on several factors including media type, pressure, temperature, flow requirements, and connection type. Our Valve Selection Guide covers these considerations in detail. You can also contact our technical team for personalised recommendations.

What materials are your valves available in?

We stock valves in stainless steel (304 and 316), brass, carbon steel, cast iron, ductile iron, PVC-U, and PTFE-lined variants. Material selection depends on the application — our chemical compatibility guide can help you choose the right material for your media.

Do you supply actuated valve packages?

Yes, we supply fully assembled actuated valve packages with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators. These are assembled and tested in-house to your specification, including fail-safe options, limit switches, and positioners. Contact us for a quotation.

Can you provide technical data sheets?

Yes, technical data sheets are available for all products in our range. Visit our Technical Data Sheets page to download PDFs, or contact our technical team for specific documentation including material certificates and test reports.

What certifications do your products carry?

Our products carry a range of certifications including CE marking, WRAS approval (for potable water applications), PED compliance, ATEX certification (for hazardous environments), and EN/ISO standard conformity. Specific certifications vary by product — check individual product pages or contact us for details.
