Mesco's patented method of manu- facture is applicable to simplex or du- plex manifold systems and, in larger sizes, as single angle or cross valves.

They are available as stops or checks and are readily fitted with interlocks and local and remote power controls.

Valves as small as two-inches in diameter to ones as large as four- feet in diameter can be accommo- dated.

The cylindrical design provides maximum strength and permits high- est velocities and lowest frictional coefficients with turbulence virtually eliminated. The absence of pockets, corners and irregularly cast sections, insures self-cleaning and inhibits the formation of scale, sludge, residue, or corrosion attack.
