Automatic Recirculation Valves for Centrifugal Pump Minimum Flow Protection
Designed, Engineered, and Manufactured in the USA
Integrating Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Automation
Automatic Recirculation Valves for Centrifugal Pump Minimum Flow Protection
A high-efficiency, cost-effective solution powered by proven technology and validated by thousands of installations.
HBE automatic recirculation valves are highly cost-effective. They combine the multiple functions of main flow check valve, flow sensing, minimum flow control, pressure reduction, and pulsation dampening into a single valve body.
We offer single and multistage pressure breakdown orifices for pump minflow protection and warmup.
Anti-flash valves for bypass piping protection.
All HBE products are available in carbon steel, various grades of stainless steel, low-temp and specialty alloys.
