Bray's solutions for shipbuilding

Durable valves for maritime applications

Marine valves must be resistant to salt water, high mineralisation in fresh water sources and harsh environmental conditions. Bray Controls offers high-quality valves for:

Salt water systems
Drinking water systems and desalination
Ballast systems
Fire protection and extinguishing systems
Exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS)
Fuel storage and processing

Our McCannalok double offset butterfly valves and Tri Lok triple offset butterfly valves comply with ASME B16.34, API 609 and API 607 and are suitable for offshore and marine applications.

Valves for saltwater systems

In military and commercial vessels, valves are used in ballast tanks, desalination plants, reverse osmosis systems and fire protection. Our seawater valves are manufactured from corrosion-resistant alloys, including:

Nickel-aluminium bronze (ASTM B-148/150, C62400)
Copper-nickel (ASTM B150, C63200)
Duplex 2205 (ASTM A923)
Monel 400 (ASTM B127/B164)
Titanium

These alloys offer excellent resistance to corrosion, cavitation and marine fouling, making them ideal for heavy-duty marine applications.

Valves for fresh water and drinking water systems

Fresh water valves in shipping are used in cooling water systems, boilers, waste water treatment and drinking water supplies. Bray Controls supplies NSF-61/372-certified valves for drinking water installations on board naval vessels, cruise ships and cargo ships.

Fuel valves for the maritime sector

Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), also known as bunker oil or heavy marine fuel, is one of the most commonly used fuels in shipping. It contains metals such as vanadium and nickel, as well as sulphur and sodium, which can cause corrosion and deposits.

Bray Controls offers a wide range of butterfly valves and ball valves designed for fuel handling, fuel purification and safe transport. Our fire-safe valves, tested in accordance with ISO 10497, ensure maximum safety and reliability.

Globally certified marine valve solutions

Our products are trusted by thousands of companies worldwide and comply with strict marine standards, including:

MIL-V-24624 (U.S. Navy)
MIL-DTL-901E & MIL-STD-167-1A
Lloyd’s Register, UL, ABS, DNV
NSF/ANSI/CAN 61/372 for drinking water
