Welcome to Our Valves Section - Click Here for our Selection
Here at Bearing Boys, we take pride in supplying a wide range of valves to meet industrial, commercial, and maintenance needs. When you browse our Valves category, you’ll find devices designed to control the flow and direction of fluids (liquids or gases) across many systems. Let me walk you through how we approach our valve range, what kinds of valves we stock, and why we believe we deliver reliable solutions for you.
Our Philosophy & Approach
We believe that valves are more than just “fittings” — they are critical system components that must balance durability, precision, and compatibility. Because of that, we are intentional in the way we source, present, and support our valve offerings:
-
We ensure that material selection suits the intended environment (e.g. brass, stainless steel, etc.).
-
We choose designs that provide secure sealing, longevity, and maintenance ease.
-
We aim to provide clear specifications (dimensions, pressure ratings, flow paths) so that you can pick the right valve without guesswork.
-
We support you with technical guidance where needed, so you don’t mis-specify or fail in service.
Our goal is not just to sell you a valve — but to help you get the right valve so the rest of your system works reliably.
Types of Valves You’ll Find With Us
Within our Valves category, you’ll see many of the standard valve types commonly used in fluid systems, such as:
-
Ball valves — These are quarter-turn valves with internal spherical elements. The internal ball has a bore (hole) that aligns or misaligns with the flow path. When open, fluid passes straight through; when closed, the ball blocks flow. (This type is popular for its fast operation and good sealing.)
-
Gate, globe, or isolation valves — Though less “flashy,” these are essential for throttling or shutoff, especially in plumbing or process services.
-
Check valves or non-return valves — To prevent backflow in your systems.
-
Pneumatic or solenoid valves — For automation, where you need flow control under electrical or pneumatic actuation.
We stock a good spread of:
-
Different sizes (e.g. from small bore to larger diameters)
-
Different connection types (threaded, flanged, compression ends, etc.)
-
Varying pressure/temperature ratings
-
Different materials (brass, stainless, plastics) depending on media compatibility
Use Cases & Applications
We see our valves used across a broad range of applications:
-
Water systems (heating, plumbing, cooling circuits)
-
Industrial fluid or gas control
-
Automation and process control (for those valves with actuation)
-
Maintenance and repair work where you might replace a valve midstream
Because we know that system downtime is costly, we aim to stock valves that are ready to install, backed by robust specifications and good lead times.
Quality, Support & Assurance
We hold ourselves to certain standards when offering valves:
-
Reliability — We try to source from manufacturers with strong track records.
-
Specification clarity — We annotate pressure ratings, sizes, and material details so you know whether a valve fits your demands.
-
After‑sales support — If something does not behave as expected, we aim to help you troubleshoot (seals, installation, orientation).
-
Stock & delivery — We try to maintain valve stock so you can get what you need without long waits.
We don’t want you to second‑guess whether the valve will last; we want you to install it confident it will perform.
Some Observations & Tips (From Us to You)
-
Always verify the size and connection type — getting the thread or flange wrong is a common error.
-
Check pressure and temperature ratings to ensure the valve can endure your system’s extremes.
-
Consider the media (water, gas, steam, chemicals) — choose valve materials accordingly.
-
In many cases, valves are directional (or at least have preferred flow direction) — make sure you install them correctly.
-
For automated systems, ensure actuation (electric, pneumatic) matches the valve’s interface.
