With decades of experience and a deep knowledge of materials and processes, we turn complex requirements into reliable, high-performance products.
At FHT, customization isn’t an exception — it’s our standard.
What are the ranges of products/services?
Engineered for Every Application: Our Range of Specialized Ball Valves
Our valves are manufactured from a wide variety of special and exotic materials — including stainless steels, duplex and super duplex, Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, bronze, and more — ensuring reliable operation even in the most demanding chemical, offshore, and high-pressure environments.
We offer an extensive range of design configurations to suit every process and application:
- Metal-to-metal seated valves – available in multiple combinations for abrasive and high-temperature services.
- Tank bottom valves – optimized for drainage and process vessel applications.
- Sampling valves – providing safe, precise control for process monitoring.
- Wafer-type valves – compact and lightweight solutions for tight spaces.
- Heating jacket valves – ideal for maintaining product temperature in viscous or crystallizing media.
- Cavity filler valves – preventing product entrapment for clean and efficient operation.
- Oxygen service valves – carefully cleaned, assembled, and tested to meet the highest purity and safety standards.
- Severe condition valves – engineered for extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments.
- Hydrogen service valves – designed and tested for the challenges of hydrogen production, storage, and transport.
- DBB (Double Block and Bleed) valves – providing absolute isolation and enhanced process safety.
Whether you need standard production or fully customized solutions, FHT delivers valves that perform with durability, precision, and confidence — even under the harshest conditions.
At FHT, every valve we build reflects our passion for engineering excellence and our commitment to the industries that keep the world moving forward.
