Why is it important?

Our Free Issue Butterfly Valve service ensures that customer-supplied butterfly valves are professionally assembled and automated to meet exact system requirements. Many companies already source or stock their own butterfly valves, and this service allows them to retain control over their valve selection while still benefiting from our expertise in actuation and assembly.

By sending valves to us for free issue, customers gain the assurance that their butterfly valves are correctly mounted with pneumatic or electric actuators, gearboxes, switchboxes, or solenoids, all aligned to industry standards. This avoids potential errors during installation, reduces downtime, and guarantees a tested, ready-to-fit solution. The importance of this service lies in its ability to combine the customer’s existing supply chain with our engineering knowledge, ensuring that the end package is not only functional but also reliable, efficient, and safe for immediate use.

What industries use this service?

The Free Issue Butterfly Valve service is relied upon across a wide range of industries where dependable flow regulation is critical. Sectors such as water treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, oil and gas, food and beverage, power generation, and pharmaceuticals all benefit from this flexibility.

Many of these industries prefer to standardise on specific valve manufacturers but depend on our experience to automate their butterfly valves with the correct actuation package. From large-scale pipelines in utilities to hygienic processing in the food sector, this service ensures that customer-supplied valves are transformed into complete automated solutions. Because butterfly valves are often chosen for their lightweight design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation, our free issue service adds further value by guaranteeing that these valves are assembled and tested with the proper actuation, making them ready for immediate integration into any system.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a service where customers supply their own butterfly valves, and we assemble, automate, and test them with the correct actuator and accessories before dispatch. This ensures a fully functional, ready-to-install solution.
