What Sets Us Apart

The wide selection of materials available, combined with the simplicity and versatility of multi-port valves are utilized in a number of industries including transportation, food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and dairy.  Machined from castings, these valves are available in both bronze and steel.  Due to their unique one-piece design these valves eliminate a source of wear that is common amongst ball valve designs while also prohibiting leaks.

Quality Controls, Inc. has unique design capabilities which set it apart from the competition.  In addition to their manufacturing abilities, the Company's engineering staff have successfully worked with world class engineers, including, those at General Electric, in the Tier II locomotive design and Kidde- Fenwal in developing a UL approved fire suppression valve.  Quality Controls engineers have also successfully developed a patented 3A valve.

For product segmentation purposes, Quality Controls can be viewed as having three types of product offerings:

  • Stem sealed valves used almost exclusively by the locomotive industry for which GE, Pacific Railways and Norfolk Southern are major customers
  • Conventional, multi-port valves such as the type utilized by Kidde-Fenwal, Inc.
  • Multi-port valves with a "sanitarian's standard" that can be utilized by the dairy, food and beverage industries. (Note - the patent for such applications has just been awarded to Quality Controls, Inc. and the company has now received "3A approval".)
