Who are we?

1992 — James helped bring 

the N-series compact floating ball valve to the industry.

1996 — Introduced the first compact trunnion

ball valve, which led to expanding the pressure

class to 15,000 psi. It is safe to point out that

several major competitors agreed that the

compact trunnion valve would never work.

Today these same competitors are marketing

compact trunnion valves.

2006 — Introduced the second generation of

compact trunnion ball valves.

2010 — James once again teamed up with the man

that developed the first compact trunnion valve

to introduce the first patented true self centering seat

assembly on a compact trunnion ball valve.

2013 —James set its sights on improving the seat sealing and

field repair ability of the compact check valve. We have

replaced the rigid Teflon set insert, that

is pressed into the mechanically locked retainer,

with an O-ring seat seal. Note: This has been

utilized on flanged check valves for years.
