AVCO Valves

Forged-body high-pressure ball, gate, and check valves — engineered for wellhead, pipeline, autoclave, and the extreme pressures that snap standard cast bodies.

About the Manufacturer

Forged-Body, High-Pressure, No Compromises

AVCO Valves specializes in forged-body high-pressure valves — ball, gate, and check designs rated through ASME Class 4500 for the most extreme pressure services. Wellhead manifolds, pipeline isolation at ANSI 1500+, autoclave discharge, hydraulic fracturing flow control — the kind of pressures that crack cast iron and pop standard cast steel.

What sets AVCO apart is the integrated forging-to-finish manufacturing approach. Bodies forged from solid bar stock, machined to precise tolerances, hardened trims, and tested to API 6A and ISO 10423 standards for upstream production service. Available in carbon steel, F22, F91, Inconel, and duplex alloys.

"Forged from solid bar — no porosity, no cracks, no surprises at 5,000 psi."

Miller Valve has partnered with AVCO to serve customers in oil & gas upstream production, mining autoclave operations, aerospace high-pressure gas, and steel mill BOF service. Engineered orders, NACE compliance, and full documentation for the most demanding applications.
