Manual Valves

Manual/Block Valves

Manual valves (or block valves) are valves operated without a lever or handwheel (ie, manually). Though they have a seemingly simple function (being primarily on or off with occasionally simple throttling), they can also be one of the most important components in your process.

Cross Company’s Process Solutions group is proud to partner with industry-leading manufacturers to provide our customers with reliable manual valve solutions perfectly suited to their unique process requirements. Cross Company can provide your operation with the valves, valve repair, or valve automation you need to succeed.
