Spares
Full serialisation enabling us to provide complete tracking for spare parts in accordance with clients’ needs. We can supply spare parts for our valves with full material certification. We recommend only using genuine APV replacement parts. These parts are manufactured to the same specifications as those parts that were originally supplied. When ordering replacement parts, be sure to have as much information about the valve available as can be found. Most of the information can be found on the valve nameplate (model number, material, and trim specification). Other information required (size, class, heat number and serial number) can be found on the valve body. Contact us direct or your APV distributor for prices for valve parts. Unlike other manufacturers, spare parts for APV valves don’t change unless it is a genuine design improvement.
