North American Machine Works Now Sells the Dan-Ex Dual Expanding Plug Valve


Introduced in 1979 by the Daniel Valve Company, the Dan-Ex dual expanding plug was designed to improve the integrity for double block and bleed valve applications. Design improvements include a solid carbon steel plug, one piece camshaft, and large diameter plug trunions.



Dan-Ex valves are currently manufactured in Western Valve's state of the art manufacturing facility in Bakersfield, CA. Thousands of Dan-Ex valves have been installed in pipelines, liquid terminals, and aviation fueling operations worldwide since its introduction in 1979. The widespread use of the Dan-Ex valve is a result of its superior design and manufacturing quality.
