From casting to a crated valve
Four stages, in the order a valve goes through them. Visits to the factories can be arranged.
Stage 1 of 4
Machining and coating
Bodies, discs and stems are turned and milled, then coated before they reach the assembly floor. Brass and plastic parts have their own lines.
Stage 2 of 4
Assembly
Seats, discs and shafts are fitted, then gearboxes and handwheels go on.
Stage 3 of 4
Testing
Finished valves go on the test bench. Flow and function are checked on water test lines.
