Slow Friday in the unit and have had a couple vendors come through so my mind is on it..

For me it’s got to be Kitz ball valves & Gate Valves. If you’re talking about dependability/cost, going to have a hard time beating. These are the work horse of our area. I’ve rarely been put in a bind because a Kitz.

Vanessa would be a close second.

I'm partial to TechnipFMC Model PlusGate Valves. They
inherit the design philosophy/features from Model 100 series valve to retain the same performance and yet be more cost-effective and easier to handle/maintain:

Similar to the Model 100 series Gate Valve, it offers design features such as floating slab gate, bi-directional sealing, stem back-seat sealing, non-rising stem, metal-to-metal sealing between body-bonnet interface and seat-body interface. It also uses forged body and bonnet, and TechnipFMC patented UV packing, leading to reliable performance.

As compared to Model 100 series Gate Valve, Model Plus Gate Valve uses a smaller and lighter valve body. In addition, it also removed some components such as gate guide and belleville spring, resulting in an easier assembly process.

Available:

For bore sizes ranging from 1 13/16" to 6 3/8",
With pressure ratings of 3,000, 5,000, 6,700, 10,000, and 15,000psi
In product specification levels ranging from PSL 1-4
API 6A and NACE MR-0175 compliant
