The demands of the hydro/dam industry can take a toll on valves not up to the job of using the power of moving waters to generate electricity. Val-Matic has a number of quarter-turn and check valves that can meet these demands. Quarter-turn valves such as QuadroSphere® ball valves, Ener•G® ball valves and American-BFV® butterfly valves are available in a wide range of sizes and pressure classes. The QuadroSphere® was designed with additional flow paths and seat contact minimized for reduced wear and operating torques. Val-Matic’s Surgebuster® check valve, Tilted Disc® check valve, and Swing check valve have features and designs to prevent slamming, reduce headloss and save pumping costs.
