Stainless steel and high alloy valves YPS Valves has been manufacturing valves at its Leeds, UK, factory for more than 40 years, and is one of the few companies still manufacturing stainless steel and high alloy valves in the UK. The company’s history dates back many years due to a family association with Dixon’s of Leeds (Valve Manufacturers), a company established in 1730. YPS is still owned by the family of a previous managing director of Dixon’s. YPS currently manufactures stainless steel and high alloy valves in pressure ranges from 150 to 2,500lb and sizes up to 24" bore. The products are supplied worldwide to the oil, petrochemical, offshore, nuclear and water industry. It predominantly manufactures from castings sourced from within the UK, but is also able to offer fast-track deliveries of valves made from bar or forgings. Facilities at the factory include emission testing, and high temperature, low temperature and ultrasonic oxygen cleaning up to 1,000kg. The factory is equipped with the latest CNC machinery and design and finite element software. The company’s latest products include axial flow nozzle check valves, which are particularly useful for the water industry, and a range of strainers – both standard and Y type.
