The Hydrocore Manual Isolating Valve, or Handwheel Valve, is the only globe valve that breaks away from the standard globe valve and works in an entirely different way. Instead of applying a force on a plug (disc) to regulate the flow, the Hydrocore valve uses a hydrostatically balanced shuttle to regulate the flow.

Our balanced valve, requires very low operating forces to actuate.  Therefore, no gearbox is required to assist in the valve's opening or closing. The absence of a gearbox to operate the valve eliminates the risk of malfunctioning and offers a far longer lifetime over traditional valves such as ball valves that rely on gearboxes to operate.

The Hydrocore valve's flow coefficient (Cv/Kv) is by far superior due to its design to the standard globe valve, thus saving tremendously on the electrical costs to operate.
