Cast Iron Valves

From backwater valves and gate valves to ball valves and globe valves, American Stainless & Supply provides the durable and reliable cast iron flow control products your project needs to deliver impeccable results.

Deliver Flow Control Solutions That Stand the Test of Time

Not all valves or types of cast iron are created equal. Providing efficient, reliable flow control solutions depends on selecting the exact right type of valve for every specific function of your pipe infrastructure—as well as choosing the best suited type of cast iron for your environment’s temperature, pressure, and fluid characteristics.

Count on American Stainless to provide cast iron valves that ensure long-term safety, reliability, and efficiency.

What Makes Cast Iron Ideal for Valve Bodies?

In many industrial and commercial flow control applications, using cast iron for valve bodies provides essential durability, strength under high pressures and mechanical stress, corrosion and heat resistance, and vibration damping.

Cast iron’s versatility, compatibility with a wide range of fluids, and comparative ease of machining make cast iron gate valves, blackwater valves, and other types of valves it especially useful as well as cost-effective.

Gray Cast Iron

Easy to machine and relatively inexpensive compared to other types of cast iron, gray cast iron provides good wear resistance and vibration/noise damping properties. It is a cost-effective choice for valves that require precise shapes and dimensions.

Ductile Iron (Nodular Cast Iron)

Ductile iron offers significantly improved impact and fatigue resistance compared to gray cast iron, making cast iron valves that perform well in high-pressure, high-temperature applications in oil, gas, and chemical industries.

White Cast Iron

While not as strong as other types of cast iron for valves, white cast iron is very hard and wear-resistant, which can make it an especially useful material for valve bodies and other PVF components in situations involving abrasive materials.

Malleable Cast Iron

Formed by heat-treating white cast iron, malleable cast iron offers enhanced impact resistance. Small-sized malleable cast iron valves provide good tensile strength and toughness in conditions where components are subjected to varying pressures.

Cast Iron Globe Valves

Globe valves use a disk or plug in a globe-shaped valve body to precisely throttle and regulate flow rates of flow rates in heating and cooling systems, fuel oil systems, and in various process industries where flow regulation is critical.

Cast iron globe valves function well with high-pressure fluids and stand up to high temperatures without losing their mechanical properties. In addition, cast iron’s vibration damping properties contribute to system longevity and reduce noise in industrial environments.

Globe Valves

Cast Iron Backwater Valves and Check Valves

Check valves use wafer-thin disks, balls, diaphragms, or plates to guard against backflow that can damage fluid transport systems. Cast iron backwater valves are designed especially for plumbing and drainage systems to protect against the reverse flow of sewage and graywater.

Cast iron’s durability, strength, and resistance to the harsh conditions of sewer environments make backwater valves especially reliable in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing projects.

Check Valves

Cast Iron Butterfly Valves

With a compact design, butterfly valves regulate flow through a disc-type element that rotates around a central axis, providing quick and easy control of flow with minimal effort. Cast iron offers a durable, low-cost-effective solution to flow control, providing strength and rigidity that make cast iron butterfly valves easier to install, maintain, and repair.

Butterfly Valves

Cast Iron Gate Valves

Gate valves provide quick and efficient flow shut-off capabilities with tight seals in various conditions and environments. Cast iron gate valves provide the strength and durability ideal for flow shut-off in high-pressure, high-temperature environments. With the right type of cast iron, gate valves can be especially useful in controlling the flow of various corrosive or abrasive fluids.

Gate Valves

Industrial Applications of Cast Iron Valves

Across a wide range of industries, the ability to quickly and automatically shut down a valve at the first sign of backflow is essential to smooth, safe operations and high-quality products and processes.

Water Supply and Distribution

Cast iron provides robustness and corrosion resistance for water supply infrastructure, ensuring long-term reliability.

Wastewater Treatment

The strength and corrosion resistance of cast iron valves ensures reliable operation and minimal maintenance requirements.

HVAC Systems

Cast iron valves control the flow of steam, hot water, and chilled water through industrial and commercial HVAC piping networks.

Chemical Processing

Cast iron’s compatibility with a wide range of substances make it especially useful for controlling the flow of various chemicals, acids, and alkalis.

Oil and Gas

Cast iron valves can withstand the mechanical stresses and corrosive environments of upstream production, refining, and distribution pipelines.

Power Generation

Cast iron valves handle high-pressure and high-temperature steam, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of power generation systems.
