Industrial valves and pipe fittings for factories
GODOWN sources industrial valves and pipe fittings for factory utilities and process lines in Delhi NCR: ball, gate, globe, butterfly and check valves, strainers, instrument valves, threaded and welded fittings, flanges, gaskets and hygienic clamp-end fittings. A valve that passes or a fitting that weeps on a steam, air or water line is usually replaced in a shutdown window, so the indent has to be right before the line is opened.
Take the details from the old valve before the line is opened. Size, pressure class, body material and end connection are cast or stamped on most valve bodies, so a photo of the markings saves a wrong quote. Put any certificates you need, such as a material test certificate or IBR certificate, on the indent, and check them at a QC checkpoint when the goods arrive.
One partner covers valves, fittings and every other category your plant buys: GODOWN gets you competitive quotes and one PO, with delivery tracked to your gate and a GST tax invoice. A valve that leaks on test comes back to us, not to your team.
Valves & fittings we source for plants
Ball valves
Quarter-turn valves for quick, tight shut-off on water, air, oil and many chemicals, in 1-piece, 2-piece and 3-piece designs. Three-piece valves can be serviced without cutting the pipe.
Gate valves
Multi-turn isolation valves that give full, straight-through flow when open. They are meant to be fully open or fully closed, not used for throttling.
Globe valves
Valves for regulating flow, common on steam and cooling-water lines. Their flow path causes more pressure drop than a gate or ball valve.
Butterfly valves
Compact wafer and lug-type valves for larger water, air and HVAC lines, with lever or gear operation and EPDM, NBR or PTFE seats.
Check valves
Swing, lift, dual-plate and ball non-return valves that stop backflow, typically at pump discharge and on compressor lines.
Strainers
Y-type and basket strainers that protect pumps, steam traps and control valves, specified by mesh or perforation size.
Needle and instrument valves
Small-bore needle valves, gauge cocks and manifolds for isolating pressure gauges and transmitters.
Pipe fittings
Elbows, tees, reducers, unions, nipples and couplings in threaded, socket-weld and butt-weld forms, in GI, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and PVC.
Flanges and gaskets
Slip-on, weld-neck, blind and threaded flanges to ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1 or IS 6392, with non-asbestos, PTFE, rubber or spiral-wound gaskets.
Hygienic fittings
Clamp-end (TC) ferrules, clamps, gaskets, bends and valves in SS316L with a polished internal finish, for process lines in pharma and food plants.
What to put on a valves & fittings indent
Vendors quote the right part first time when the indent carries these. Missing details mean a round of calls before anyone can quote.
- Type and duty: isolation (ball, gate, butterfly), regulation (globe, needle) or non-return (check), and whether the valve is operated daily or rarely.
- Size: nominal bore in mm or inches, such as 25 NB (1 inch), and full bore or reduced bore for ball valves.
- Pressure rating: ASME class (150, 300, 800) or PN rating (PN16, PN40), checked at the actual line temperature, not only at ambient.
- Material: body (cast iron, WCB carbon steel, CF8 or CF8M stainless, forged brass, PVC or CPVC), seats and seals (PTFE, reinforced PTFE, EPDM, metal), and gland packing (graphite for steam).
- End connection: BSP or NPT thread (they do not seal together), flanged with the flange standard and class, socket weld, butt weld with pipe schedule, or clamp end.
- Service conditions: the medium (water, steam, compressed air, thermic fluid, oil, solvent, acid), with working pressure and temperature.
- Operation: lever, gear, handwheel, or pneumatic or electric actuator, with fail-safe position and limit switch box if the valve is automated.
- Documents: material test certificate (EN 10204 3.1), hydro-test report, and IBR certification for valves on steam lines covered by the Indian Boiler Regulations.

Buying valves & fittings: common questions
What is the difference between a ball valve and a gate valve?
A ball valve is quarter-turn: a quick, tight shut-off that is compact and easy to operate. A gate valve is multi-turn and gives full, straight-through flow when open, which suits larger lines that are opened or closed rarely. Neither is designed for throttling: a partly open ball valve wears its seats, and a partly open gate vibrates and erodes. Use a globe valve to regulate flow.
What do class 150 and PN16 mean on a valve?
Both are pressure ratings, from different families of standards. ASME class 150 comes from American standards; a carbon-steel class 150 valve is rated close to 20 bar at ambient temperature. PN16 comes from European and ISO standards and means 16 bar at the reference temperature. Allowable pressure falls as temperature rises, and class 150 and PN16 flanges generally do not bolt together, so match the line's rating and flange standard.
Does it matter whether a valve has BSP or NPT threads?
Yes. BSP threads, the most common in India and Europe, have a 55-degree thread angle; NPT threads, from American standards, have 60 degrees and a different pitch in most sizes. A BSP valve may start onto an NPT pipe for a few turns, then leak however much sealant is used. State the thread on the indent, and whether it is tapered (BSPT, NPT) or parallel (BSPP) with a sealing washer.
Do valves on steam lines need IBR certification?
If the line falls under the Indian Boiler Regulations, yes. Valves and fittings on IBR steam lines must be made and tested under IBR inspection and supplied with the IBR certificate, which the boiler inspector can ask to see. Write 'IBR' on the indent with size, class and material, so the quote covers certified items and the certificate arrives with the delivery. Confirm which lines are covered with your boiler inspector, as the rules change.
