The JLS range of Valves
Our needle valves are based on the world famous Ermeto/Alenco valves to which JLS valves acquired the design rights in 1990. We can provide replacement and specified valves for this range back to the 1950's, with over 12,000 drawings in our database.
In addition to the valves detailed on our site we also offer a wide range of additional specialist valves and will engineer valves to meet specific applications and configurations.
The most popular valve types, many of which are normally available ex-stock, or with short lead-times, are shown below.
high performance products...
JLS Valves specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of a wide range of ultra high pressure valves for use in a variety of demanding and severe service applications.
Our products are renowned for their long life and reliability.
The high integrity, complete sealing of our shut off valves has been proven over decades of operating experience. The ease of operation of the balanced shut off type and the exceptionally fine flow adjustment possible using our control valves are distinct features of our range.
They are available in various materials with pressure ratings up to 700 Bar (10,000 PSI).
All valves are hydraulically proof tested using our in-house hydraulic, water and skydrol test facilities to one and half times the maximum recommended working pressure.
Valves can be manufactured to incorporate special features as required by the customer or re-designed to suit your special requirements.

Our Valve Capabilities
- All valves are 100% pressure tested in our in-house test facilities to 1 1/2x working pressure, using a variety of hydraulic fluid including, where appropriate, Skydrol.
- JLS valves can meet the specification and requirements for standard, industrial application valve configurations, but also the various international, military, defence and power generation standards requiring more extensive testing, certification and traceability.
- In addition to new build we also offer a repair/refurbishment for many types of JLS valve.
- A range of standard/popular valves are held in stock ready for immediate dispatch. Others are held in component form with short lead times, but even complete specials can be provided within a few weeks on priority arrangements.
- Inlet/outlet parts are BSP female as standard, but other thread forms or port fitting/flanges are available to special order.
- In addition to providing variants of our standard valves we can also manufacture needle valves to meet our clients specific requirements, including matching obsolete products.
