Manual Ball Valves

  Manual Ball Valves are among the most widely used and versatile flow control devices in industrial and commercial piping systems. At Concorde Valves & Automations , we supply and distribute a comprehensive range of high-quality Manual Ball Valves designed for reliable shut-off, smooth operation, and long service life. Engineered for precision and durability, these valves are ideal for a wide range of fluids, including water, oil, gas, steam, and chemicals. What Are Manual Ball Valves?  A Manual Ball Valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a rotating ball with a central bore to control fluid flow. When the handle is turned 90 degrees, the ball either allows the medium to pass through or completely blocks the flow. This simple yet effective mechanism makes ball valves ideal for applications requiring quick shut-off and minimal pressure drop. Manual Ball Valves are operated using a lever or handwheel, offering easy manual control without the need for actuators or exte...

KITZ Butterfly Valve

  When it comes to reliable and high-performance flow control, the KITZ Butterfly Valve stands out as one of the most trusted and efficient solutions in the industry. At Concorde Valves & Automations , we are proud to supply and distribute premium-quality KITZ Butterfly Valves designed to deliver durability, precision, and superior performance across a wide range of industrial applications. Known for their innovative design and robust construction, KITZ Butterfly Valves ensure smooth operation, low torque, and leak-proof sealing for both manual and automated systems. Overview of KITZ Butterfly Valve The KITZ Butterfly Valve is a quarter-turn valve that controls the flow of liquids or gases through a pipe using a circular disc that rotates on a central shaft. This simple yet effective design allows for quick opening and closing with minimal pressure drop. KITZ, a globally renowned Japanese brand, is recognized for manufacturing valves that meet international quality and per...

Non Slam Disc Check Valve

 A non-slam disc check valve is a specialized type of check valve designed to prevent reverse flow and eliminate the water hammer effect that commonly occurs when fluid flow suddenly stops or reverses. Unlike conventional check valves, which can close abruptly and cause pressure surges, a non-slam disc check valve closes smoothly and quietly, ensuring stable and reliable operation in fluid systems. These valves are widely used in water distribution, pumping stations, power plants, and industrial process systems where flow stability and protection of equipment are critical. The non-slam disc check valve operates automatically, allowing flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. It consists of a body, disc, spring, and seat. When the fluid flows in the forward direction, pressure lifts the disc off the seat, allowing flow through the valve. When the flow stops or reverses, the spring assists in closing the disc gradually before the flow can reverse...

Cast Iron Wafer Check Valve

 A cast iron wafer check valve is a type of non-return valve designed to allow fluid to flow in one direction while preventing backflow in piping systems. It is compact, durable, and widely used in water supply, wastewater treatment, HVAC, and industrial applications. The term “wafer” refers to its slim, sandwich-like design, which allows the valve to fit between two pipe flanges, saving space and reducing installation costs. The “cast iron” body provides strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for handling water, air, oil, and other non-corrosive fluids. The basic working principle of a cast iron wafer check valve i s straightforward. The valve contains a disc or dual plates that open when the forward flow pressure exceeds the cracking pressure — the minimum pressure required to open the valve. When the flow stops or reverses, gravity and back pressure cause the disc to close, preventing reverse flow. This automatic action helps protect pumps, compressors, and oth...
