Products & Services

Discharge control valves

Fixed cone valves, also known as Howell-Bunger valves, discharge a hollow shaped jet of water directly into the atmosphere while submerged discharge valves discharge sub-surface jet underwater into a sump/stilling basin. We offer both types in Orbinox and Glenfield design.
