Today, Clarke Valve announced immediate availability of the ¼” Shutter Valve™ marking the first time in history that a valve this size offers both Class 6 bubble-tight shut off to 3,600 PSI and precise flow control from a fine mist up to full bore.

Previously, customers were forced to use small diameter ball valves which were not designed for flow control in ¼” lines.  Typically, these valves were used for on/off service but usually ended up in a partial open state creating excessive turbulence and cavitation.

Today, Clarke Valve (Clarke) announced that it has delivered its first shipment of Shutter Valves™ into the Denver-Julesburg Basin to a producer known for innovation in making artificial gas lift systems more efficient and profitable. The end user is a natural gas producer that is well known in the Denver-Julesburg Basin for being at the forefront of efficiency.

FLW Southeast of Marietta, GA has joined together with Clarke Valve to provide Shutter Valve products as well as complete valve systems including actuators and positioners to customers throughout the Southeastern United States.
