Performance Selection and Features
From a Distance
The Valveflex geared system can operate valves from up to 24m away. The technology allows operators to control valves from a safe distance eliminating the need for direct contact with valves, which may be located in hazardous or hard to reach areas.
Reaching Confined Spaces
The Valveflex remote operating system is ideal for use where exposure to extreme heat, radiation, or toxic emissions are a concern. By using a remote operating system, operating system, operators can avoid the risks associated with confined spaces, such as poor ventilated and presence of combustible gases.
Through Walls and Floor
The flexibility of the Valveflex remote operating system allows installations to be completed whilst passing through obstacles such as walls and floors. This may be necessary due to limited space availability or for reasons of safety.
Under water
The Valveflex remote operating system can control valves located under water; reducing the requirement for expensive actuators and their higher maintenance costs.
Using the valve torque and the routed length, read off the best valve gearbox ratio for the installation from the graph.
Using the valve type, select the appropriate valve coupling.
For example, A Gate Valve with an opening torque of 100Nm and a routed length to the operating position of 20 metres, will require a 23:1 valve gearbox ratio.

The Company story began in the late 1920s in London selling imported descaling units. The business grew rapidly and new premises were needed in South Kensington in the 1940s. Manufacture of Flexible Drive products started at this time and was combined with a collect and repair service for flexible shafts in the London area.
