Custom Design Valves to Suit Your Application
Tyco Flow Control, manufacturer of the Rovalve, L&M Valve and Clarkson product lines, has
served the Custom Design valve needs of many diverse industries including power, pulp and
paper, mining, chemical/petrochem, waste treatment, steel, food, powder & bulk. We offer to you
unequaled experience in the design and manufacture of custom design valve products. We have
the fabricators, equipment and engineering capability, including state-of-the-art 3-D modeling and
Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA). This experience level, together with the most complete line of all
metal, elastomer lined and state-of-the-art polymer lined composite valve products, means Tyco
has more to offer you than any other manufacturer.

product suits the application.

Fabrication Equals Flexibility

Since we are not limited to the restrictive design parameters
inherent in cast products, we can design and build to your exact
specifications. With fabrication we start with a clean piece of
paper, or steel, and design and build whatever is required to meet
your application. Special materials, unique configurations, large
diameter, high pressure, high temperature, all are possible with
fabrication. How about a 24" square ported valve to match your
hopper? You want a 20" all Titanium knife gate? The specification
calls for a 96" diameter knife gate, where can you get one? No
problem, we can fabricate it. One of a kind, or a full production
run, we can build a custom valve to suit your service.
Unique Configurations
Special and unique configurations
The fabrication capabilities of Tyco means you can get the exact valve you need for
your application. Each custom valve is designed and manufactured to your specific
requirements. Replacement of O.E.M. valves is easy, we measure the exiting product and
build the new one to directly replace it.

Possible configurations include:

• Square port
• Rectangular port
• Tear drop
• Diamond port
• Round inlet-square outlet
• Reducing ports
• Multiple port "Y" or lateral
bodies

High Pressure
High pressure, high temperature
Tyco has designed and built valves
for temperatures up to 2000°F, as well
as pressures exceeding 1000 psi. The
design and manufacturing of these
critical valves takes into complete
account the relationship between
temperature and pressure. Tensile
strength of metal is degraded, the

tensile strength. Because we fabricate,
we are not restricted and can make the
body, gate, flanges and other body
parts of sufficient thickness to assure
the valve is right for your application.
