Years of experience have shown that our rigid red brass control piping (minimum 1/2" diameter) can stand up to the decades of service expectd from our valves. A visual position indicator gives an accurate assessment of valve position, which is invaluable in monitoring valve performance and troubleshooting. Our standard strainer to protect the controls from contaminants is actually functional - with over 7 square inches of surface area. Due to the long stroke inherent to our piston style design, we can optimize each valve's performance by tailoring the seat contour design to the valve's specified application. Each valve is built standard with ANSI Class 250 construction with regard to wall thickness, internal components, and controls. Flanges are sized and drilled as specified to mate with adjacent pipes and equipment. All ferrous surfaces are coated with two layers of NSF Certified Epoxy Coating inside and out. The rugged bottom cylinder ensures that the valve piston is fully guided above and below the seat to counter any lateral forces and ensure correct alignment at the seat. All control devices are built to meet our strict requirements for durability, to ensure a long service life of the entire valve assembly. Though every valve is tested at the factory prior to shipment, devices like the speed control valve may be adjusted in the field for further refinement, should operating conditions change. The Ross Piston Style design utilizes rugged seals that wear gradually and are not vulnerable to sudden failure or rupturing.

Valve Basics

The Ross pilot-operated piston-style control valve is an extremely rugged and precise piece of equipment. The common globe (inline) style valve for treated water is shown, but angle (90°) orientation, direct acting types, and wastewater designs are also available. Roll over the image below to see some of the features that are provided as standard on most of our valves.

Ross Valve is proud that we still manufacture our valves in-house in our Troy, NY facilities. To ensure optimal performance of each valve in its intended application, we typically specify over 10 individual criteria with regard to the valve's design. No "off the shelf" valve can stack up to our engineered products in terms of control and durability. To reinforce our commitment to our customers, every valve must pass three tests prior to shipment: hydrostatic, tight seating, and functional. And the versatility of the Ross Valve design allows for easy customization either during initial manufacture or years down the road.
