Capabilities

Aero Fluid Products provides a broad range of valves for numerous aircraft applications. These valves are specifically designed to handle all types of fluids including hydraulic and lubricating oils, fuel, air, coolant, potable water, and waste. They are constructed of various materials to meet the environmental conditions they are exposed to while optimizing weight and space constraints. Their methods of actuation are selected to meet the requirements of the application and include manual, motor, solenoid, servo, and pilot actuation. The valves themselves come in many styles, including gate ball, flapper, butterfly, poppet, and spool configurations. Aero Fluid Products specializes not only in these discrete components, but in integrating these valves into modules and manifolds which reduce weight and envelope, eliminate assembly and leakage concerns and provide for line replaceable units (LRU).
