Shut Off Valves
Shut off valves are designed to safely manage the flow of a liquid, gas or compressed air. They are used to block the medium isolating part of a system to enable work to be carried out or to close off a part of the system.
Currie & Warner manufactures many components for these type of valves from a straight inline ball valve to complex banjo shut-off valves. Commonly the housing of the valve is made from a precision casting which is machined. Currie & Warner's contribution is the turned components which are assembled inside the valves. Below you can see some of the components we supply for shut of valve applications.
Ball Valves
Ball valves are probably the most common type of shut off valve. They are generally used when the shut off needs to happen quickly in an emergency situation or to allow maintenance of the system. It can be opened and closed completely with the help of a lever by a quarter-turn. When the internal ball of the valve is aligned with the pipe, it means that the valve is in the open position. The open position allows flow of the liquid or gas. With a rotation of the ball to 90 degrees, the valve will be closed and blocks the flow of the medium. Ball valves are usually sealed with a rubber or plastic fitting either side of the ball component. This eliminates leaks when the valve is in the closed position.
Another common usage of ball valves are Pneumatic or Actuator Ball valves. These valves integrate into systems to moderate valve opening and closure. They are often fitted with gauge monitors or flow meters to measure flow. Actuated valves are commonly used within industrial processes, manufacturing factories, chemical handling, food and beverage facilities, mining operations, power plants and energy sector use such as refineries. They are also frequently used in wastewater handling, municipal treatment facilities, clean water production, aquariums, aquatics and animal care, chemical synthesis, metals and plating operations.
Currie & Warner manufactures many components for these type of valves. They require high precision components with high surface finishes. Commonly the housing of the valve is made from a precision casting which is machined. Currie & Warner's contribution is the turned components which are assembled inside the valves.

Control Valves
Control valve (CV) is a valve used to control fluid, pressure or temperature flow by varying the size of the flow passage in a closed loop system. Signals received from sensors send information to controllers which operate actuators. The actuators open and close the valve to compensate for a change to a 'set point'. This regulates the flow in order for the sensors 'set point' to return back within tolerance.

Drain Valves
Drain valves remove fluid, gas or air from systems or storage tanks. They are used in applications such as compressed air systems where liquid, gas, or slurries need to drain or be drained from the system.
Two of the most common applications for drain valves are to remove condensate from compressed air systems and steam process lines.
