About Control Valves

A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size and amount of the flow passage. Building owners use controllers to operate the valve. In the steam world, this enables the direct control of steam pressure as required.

Insulating Control Valves

Many boiler rooms have been producing steam for more than 50 years. In the past, hand-operated valves controlled steam pressure. Insulation that was in place was removed when buildings updated to new, state of the art, control valves. A very large percentage of control valves remain uninsulated, wasting energy and money!
