Your Trusted Industrial Valve Manufacturer in Bakersfield
Western Valve was established in 1991 as a family-owned manufacturing facility in Bakersfield, California. Our expertise lies in producing high-quality DAN-EX double block and bleed non-lubricated plug valves, a product line acquired from Daniel Valve Company in 2000. With a 65,000-square-foot facility featuring advanced manufacturing cells, we combine decades of industry experience with modern practices to deliver reliable valve solutions. Our team prioritizes quality through in-house slip-bonding, API 6D-certified testing, and state-of-the-art equipment. We provide comprehensive services including valve remanufacturing, automation, and customized bypass assemblies while maintaining an 18-month factory warranty on all products.Our commitment to innovation ensures compliance with industry standards like Double Block and Bleed (DBB) and Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB). With over 30 years of customer service in pipeline valve repair, we offer competitive pricing, expedited quotes, and technical support from factory-trained technicians. Our facility meets OSHA and NFPA standards for paint and coating applications, including specialized RAL color spectrums. We serve global markets through domestic manufacturing of all components and castings sourced from North American foundries. Our dedication to reducing environmental impact is demonstrated through controlled coating processes and digital quality reporting.

Services
Double Block and Bleed Valves
Our DAN-EX non-lubricated plug valves provide reliable double block and bleed functionality for propane, butane, and LPG systems. Manufactured in the USA with trunnion-mounted design and API 6D certification, these valves ensure zero leakage in critical applications. Each unit undergoes extended testing up to 10 hours with nitrogen for performance validation.
Valve Remanufacturing
We recondition DAN-EX, General Twin Seal, and competitive brand valves from 2" to 24" sizes. Our process includes API 6D testing, dimensional inspection, and component replacement with OEM-spec parts. Customers receive detailed inspection reports and 18-month warranty coverage on all repaired units.
Valve Automation
Our technicians integrate major actuator brands like Auma and Rotork with existing valves. Services include mounting, function testing, and calibration to API standards. We support both new actuator sales and retrofitting projects with stem extensions and protective components for buried installations.
Differential Thermal Relief Systems
Custom DTR systems are engineered using Swagelok components or specified brands. Our engineers design solutions to prevent thermal expansion damage in piping systems. Each system includes pressure testing and documentation to meet client-specific requirements and industry safety standards.
Paint and Coating Services
We apply specialty coatings including epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc-enriched formulas in controlled environments. Our OSHA-compliant paint booth maintains temperature stability for consistent application. Digital reports track surface profiles, atmospheric conditions, and coating thickness for quality assurance.
