Fab Valve Launch

2019-06-13T14:00:21+00:00

Fabricated, fabulous design for exotic alloy valves.

Gosco is pleased to launch the new Fab Valve product line. It is a metal and/or soft seated valve aimed to serve the severe service valve market, specifically for high alloy applications.

The Fab Valve is offered in Class 150, 300 and 600, and up to NPS 6, standard port. It uses common internals for all pressure classes, and by machining only four components (body, bonnet and end connections) in any Fab Valve, you can change the pressure class, end connections, port size AND/OR the materials of construction – including exotic alloys. Take a look at the Gosco website to see how that can be done: http://goscovalves.com/fabvalve/#alloy/

Here are some great features you would like to know:

Size: NPS 1/2 full port to NPS 6, SP
Pressure Class: Class 150, 300 and 600
Temperature range: -50ºC/-58ºF to 593ºC/1100ºF.

• The most corrosive resistant spring material on the planet is Inconel 718. We matched all the internals of the Fab Valve to the springs.
• We have proprietary horseshoe plates that never come in contact with the process media. They are designed to bolt all the components together.
• We use the same Boronized Inconel 718 trim sets as our M-Class line – in fact, they are interchangeable.
• It is a truly bi-directional ball valve with no “preferred direction”.
• We offer an arcuate cut ball design to reduce the velocities in the first/last 5 degrees of opening/closing. This extends the life of ball and seats.
• There are endless Vari-V ball options for control applications.
• Any alloy option you can name, we can deliver.
We are taking orders now for the Fab Valve, and will ship in 18-20 weeks. That lead time will decrease as we bring in inventory, and will soon have an 8-10 week lead time. The Fab Valve is available to all current distributors on a NON EXCLUSIVE basis.

Updated Website

2019-01-18T14:00:33+00:00

Welcome to the updated goscovalves.com.

We are excited to launch our updated site, with new and current content. Our number one goal is for the new website to provide our customers with a more attractive and user-friendly experience that will allow for enhanced communication methods. Some of the new features include:

A section for the newly introduced Fab Valve

An interactive “Cost of Ownership” program that will calculate your 5 year cost of ownership, based on YOUR actual costs.

Updated content that reflects the current offerings at Gosco Valves

An easy to use, attractive interface, delivering you the content you need as quickly as possible

Brand new product downloads that reflect the revamping of our product lines (S-Class/ M-Class and Fab Valves)

A revamped quoting system making it quicker than ever to receive a quote from Gosco Valves

On the footer of every page, you will see a mailing list opt-in section. We encourage you to do so (if you aren’t already on our list) so we can keep you up-to-date with periodical email newsletters. We don’t like spam either, so emails will be sent at very reasonable intervals.

Support for Internet Explorer 6 has been dropped. The content management system that runs behind our new site has a lot of features that help us get content to you quickly and efficiently, however it does not play well with IE6. We struggled with the decision to drop IE6 support, however there is only a small percentage of our visitors still using it, and Microsoft no longer supports it as well. Launched in 2001, it is no longer relevant, secure, or fully functional. We recommend you use Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox.

On the contact page, we have a general contact form. Please let us know what you think of the new site, how we can improve it, or if there is something that isn’t working properly. We want to hear from you, as you ultimately know what works best for you and your goscovalves.com web experience.

Gosco and NASA Work with SEDS to Build Mobile Rocket Testing Stand

2018-06-27T18:00:19+00:00

On June 16, the University of California San Diego’s chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) conducted a successful live fire test of its static rocket engine test stand, Colossus, which features over $50,000 of valves donated by Gosco Valves.

Platinum sponsorship for Gosco Valves: https://www.sedsucsd.org/sponsors/

Gosco specifically designed these custom valves for SEDS’ high pressure cryogenic static rocket engine test stand which operated at 1440 psi, -321° F on liquid oxygen, liquid methane, vaporized liquid oxygen, and vaporized liquid methane.

The finished Colossus system is compatible with a wide range of rocket designs, and features an exchangeable engine interface and a versatile, dual-cryogenic fluid system to make that all possible.

The SEDS team plans to make the stand accessible to other teams who wish to test their rockets. To learn more about SEDS and Colossus, visit here https://sedsucsd.org/

We are proud to announce that we will be participating in the 2018 Global Petroleum Show from June 12th to 14th.

We will be teaming up with Link Industrial Technologies and Kinetrol to showcase our products in this year’s exhibition.

Link has been the backbone of the industrial process automation industry in Alberta for over 17 years, and Kinetrol has established themselves as the world leader in actuation products since 1958.

Gosco Valves Partners with Santa For a Special Delivery!

2012-01-05T10:06:26+00:00

Throughout the month of November and December Gosco Valves held a month long food drive competition. As a company we managed to gather 1,400 pounds of food to donate to our local food bank, The Oakville Fareshare Food Bank. In the spirit of the holiday season, we decide that it was only fitting that Santa Claus be on hand to deliver such a large gift. On the morning of December 19th, Santa along with his helpers loaded up the company forklifts and drove the 1,400 pounds of food to the Food Bank. The volunteers on hand greeted the donation with much appreciation “What a sight it was. Two forklifts carrying huge, gift wrapped containers of food! Without the support of companies and employees, such as yourselves, it would be very difficult to meet the needs of the almost 400 families we serve monthly.”

Two Is Better Than One?! How About Three?! – The Tyco Split!

2011-09-20T19:54:41+00:00

It was recently announced that the big conglomerate Tyco International Ltd. is splitting up into three separate publically traded companies. According to Chairman and Chief Executive Ed Breen, the split into three separate companies, ADT North America home alarm business, Flow Control Industrial pipes and valves business and Commercial Fire and Security business “will give each greater flexibility to grow as it sees fit.”

Gosco Valves has been paying close attention to this announcement, as Tyco is a distributor for our Keystone Valves. Our Business Strategist Cheryl Duivesteyn commented on the Tyco split by saying, “as a company that works closely with Tyco, we at Gosco Valves are interested in observing how this split will better allow each company to grow on their own terms.”

Since 2008 Tyco and Gosco have had a third party licensing agreement. This agreement has sold several of our severe service ball valves under the Tyco Flow Control’s Keystone brand.

We are also pleased that Tyco will be featuring Gosco in an upcoming e-newsletter.
