Valve position housing
Valve position housings sit on top of an actuator and hold switches or sensors that report the valve state. They are often outdoors or in process plants, so sealing, coating and thread quality decide how long they last.
We cast valve position housings and coated valve cover sets, machine their threads and sealing faces, and deliver them coated through our finishing partner, ready to fit.
