product spotlight

The breadth of PE Pipeline Specialists’ product range allows the company to supply industry leading solutions for the transportation and distribution of gas, water and wastewater.

With products available for gas applications, PE Pipeline Specialists is a leading supplier of gas valves from AVK and Radius Systems.

AVK is a world leading manufacturer for valves and fittings for industries including water, gas and wastewater, with over 400 employees in the UK alone, and over 4,400 worldwide.

A number of products stocked by PE Pipeline Specialists come available with polyurethane (PUR) coating, a layer applied to the surface that protects valves from several defects including corrosion, weathering, abrasion and other deteriorations.

Our gas valves and sections are used across several UK industries and come from some of the top manufacturers in the game. This blog discusses the features of six of the products PE Pipeline Specialists has in stock; if you want a list of all the gas valves and sections we stock, click here.
