Valve and pump quality and reliability are critical to the uninterrupted, day-to-day operation of buildings and businesses. In many cases, failure can also present a safety hazard and thus must be avoided at all costs.

Benefits of Aluminum in Valve and Pump Manufacturing
Aluminum castings provide numerous benefits over other materials, many of which make them ideally suited to valve casting manufacturing. These benefits include:
- Lightweight yet high-strength material properties
- Resistance to extreme temperatures, allowing for reliable, safe operation
- Aluminum alloys offer the most optimal corrosion resistance (a requirement for fluid handling applications) among typical casting material choices
- Extremely close conformity to designs and patterns, reducing the amount of finishing process required to meet your exact specifications
