About Us

To Our Customers:

Bellows seal valves are beneficial in several ways. They can keep your plant, community, and the world cleaner by eliminating countless small (and some not so small) leaks that develop around valve stems as packing ages and wears. While most people agree that a cleaner environment is an admirable goal, most companies are driven by the bottom line and demand sound financial reasons to invest in technology that guarantees zero leakage.

A number of studies have shown that valves are one of the biggest sources of leaks in manufacturing processes. By using bellows seal valves, you can save the expense of fluid loss, and, for some media, bellows seal valves will pay for themselves in a matter of days.

If you need to avoid the high cost and safety liability of someone getting hurt by one of the hazardous chemicals in your operation, you should consider bellows seal valves. The cost and headaches involved with maintenance and monitoring can be greatly reduced by this technology.

Lately, more and more fluids are being used that require a high level of purity. In these applications, bellows seal valves are increasingly being used to ensure that no moisture or contamination enters systems.

Keep in mind that packed valves, no matter how good, still involve packing pressed against a sliding stem, which creates a potential leak path. While a packed valve might perform adequately when new, over time, the possibility of additional leakage increases.

Many of our valves have a five-year Bellows Fatigue Warranty, so you can be assured of years of trouble-free service.
