Company History

Established in 1991, Western Valve is the leading remanufacturer of pipeline thru-conduit valves. Each valve is completely refurbished to same as new condition and tested to American Petroleum Institute (API) 6D standards. Laws on pipeline integrity and attention to infrastructure have led to increased pipeline maintenance and replacement of obsolete equipment. Offering reconditioned valves, as well as repairing valves, allows Western Valve to recycle and reuse equipment, which is environmentally friendly and cost efficient to our customers.

In 2000, Western Valve began manufacturing the DAN-EX Dual Expanding Plug Valve. The specially engineered product line, acquired from Daniel Valve Company, was introduced into the industrial valve market in 1979. Western Valve supplies new valves and repair kits for existing valves. The DAN-EX valve is a green valve; it is fugitive emission free, verifiable by design features.

The growth of the double block and bleed market is relative to the need for pipeline integrity and the increased demand for fuel, due to population growth. Alternate transportation routes, such as underground pipelines, substantially reduce highway traffic from fuel trucks and the safety hazards they produce. The DAN-EX valve is also seeing an increased demand in the standard and military aviation fueling industry. Since purchasing the DAN-EX line, Western Valve has shipped valves and valve parts within the United States, as well as exporting to 24 different countries.
