About Our Industrial Valves

At Smith Valves, we offer a full spectrum of API 602 forged valves, from standard gate, globe, and check valves to cryogenic, and bellows-seal designs. We build all our solutions for maximum reliability, safety, and performance in demanding industrial processes.

Backed by a massive U.S. inventory and rigorous in-house quality controls, we deliver the flexibility you need without ever bottlenecking your project timeline.

Built for the Jobs Other Valve Manufacturers Turn Down

For over 70 years, Smith Valves has been a dedicated leader in manufacturing forged steel valves, specializing in API 602 forged valves engineered for hydrofluoric acid (HF acid), chlorine, and oxygen service. While other suppliers focus on generic cast or stainless steel alloy construction, our core material and process distinction is precision, and rapid turnaround times. This specialized focus ensures our valve products deliver leak-free reliability in severe, high-pressure, and hazardous media applications where component failure is simply not an option.

Certified Industrial Valves

To meet the most stringent compliance standards in modern manufacturing, our forged industrial valve designs are certified to ASME B16.34 for pressure-temperature ratings and API 624 for fugitive emissions. Unlike cast alternatives, the structural integrity of forged steel provides superior resistance to mechanical stress and thermal fatigue. Whether supporting industrial automation lines, high-pressure utility setups, or harsh chemical refining, our valve solutions provide uncompromising safety and operational longevity.

From extremely hazardous chemical systems to high-purity drinking water networks requiring NSF certification, our broad capabilities span critical infrastructure. As a proven valve manufacturer, we supply specialty valves that outperform standard market offerings. By focusing strictly on heavy-duty forged construction rather than standard cast alloy lines, our brand continues to set the benchmark for quality when safety and performance matter most.

When you need a forged steel valve for your industrial project, second-best isn’t acceptable. That’s why you 
need to work with Smith Valves as we continue our legacy of quality.

FAQs About Industrial Forged Valves

What Are Common Use Cases For Industrial Valves?

Industrial valves show up anywhere flow needs to be controlled, isolated, or shut off under demanding conditions, including:

– Oil, gas, and petrochemical processing.
– Hazardous chemical handling, including hydrofluoric acid, chlorine, and oxygen service.
– High-pressure isolation and flow control using specialized gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and ball valves.
– Power generation systems utilizing advanced control valves and butterfly valves.
– Cryogenic and low-temperature applications.
– Potable water systems needing NSF-certified valve products.
– Any process line where failure isn’t an option.

Why Do Distributors Partner With Smith Valves?

Because 70+ years in business isn’t a coincidence — it’s what happens when you build industrial valves people can actually rely on. Smith specializes in the jobs other industrial valve manufacturers shy away from. In harsh process environments where a valve failure isn’t just inconvenient, but dangerous, Smith Valves pass the test. Every valve is built to API 602, ASME B16.34, and API 624 standards, and the goal has never changed: be the fastest and the most dependable option on the job.

How Is Smith Different From Other Industrial Valve Manufacturers?

Smith Valves specializes specifically in forged steel valves built to API 602, not cast or alloy construction. We possess deep expertise in both NSF-certified systems and the toughest chemical service environments, such as hydrofluoric acid, chlorine, oxygen, and other harsh processes. Where some valve manufacturers offer broad general-purpose lines or cast stainless steel alternatives, Smith is built around being the fastest, most dependable option specifically for jobs other suppliers turn down.
