What Griffco Valve does

Griffco Valve, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of fluid-handling accessories for chemical feed and metering-pump systems, founded in 1992 and headquartered at 188 Creekside Drive, Amherst, New York. Its product portfolio centers on back pressure valves, pressure relief valves, pulsation dampeners and inlet stabilizers, calibration columns, chemical injection valves, corporation stops, Y-strainers, and gauge & instrument guards, with an extended high-pressure line (10 bar to 20,000 PSI) sourced under an exclusive global distribution partnership with Italy-based Fox S.r.l. The technology is mechanical and precision-engineered — diaphragm, bladder, piston, and bellow designs with PTFE and exotic alloy (Inconel, Hastelloy) options — qualified against ISO 9001, NSF-61, CE, CRN, SELO, NR-13, ATEX, and ASME U-Stamp certifications to serve municipal, chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, mining, power, pharmaceutical, and industrial customers.

The company sells exclusively through a global distributor network organized by geography, supported by regional sales managers (including a dedicated MEA & SEA team based in the UAE via Quality Valve East FZ LLC) and a Latin America Sales Manager appointed in 2021. Pricing is quote-based and project-driven, with no public price list; pre-sales is supported by a website featuring 3D CAD drawings, technical documentation, a pulsation-dampener sizing calculator, and an online request-for-quote workflow. Revenue is derived from hardware sales of precision valves and accessories, with a documented cumulative production base of more than 1,000,000 valves and accessories, a 98% on-time delivery rate, and 15–25+ year supplier relationships with pump OEMs and engineering distributors such as Grundfos North America, Wanner Engineering, Hydra-Cell, DXP/Cortech, Furrow Pump, and ProMinent. No external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed.

Core offering

Griffco Valve manufactures and sells a portfolio of precision-engineered fluid handling accessories used in chemical feed, metering, and dosing pump systems. Core products include back pressure valves, pressure relief valves, pulsation dampeners, calibration columns, chemical injection valves, corporation stops, Y-strainers, and gauge & instrument guards. Through an exclusive partnership with Fox S.r.l., the company also distributes high-pressure pulsation dampeners (10 bar to 20,000 PSI) for demanding oil & gas and chemical processing applications.

Product overview

Griffco Valve manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of fluid handling accessories for chemical dosing and metering pump applications. The product line centers on valve products including Back Pressure Valves and Pressure Relief Valves (available in M-Series, G-Series, Unibody, High-Flow, and High-Pressure variants), complemented by Pulsation Dampeners/Inlet Stabilizers that protect systems from pressure surges. The company also produces Corporation Stops for service line connections, Calibration Columns for pump calibration, Chemical Injection Valves (injection quills), Y-Strainers, and Gauge & Instrument Guards. Through a partnership with Fox S.r.l., Griffco distributes high-pressure pulsation dampeners (10 bar to 20,000 PSI) across eight technology families including bladder, diaphragm, piston, and bellow designs. Additional accessories such as Air Release Valves, Check Valves, Sight Flow Indicators, and Spare Parts Kits round out the offering. All products serve municipal, industrial, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical applications and are manufactured in the USA.

Products and services

• Back Pressure Valves Valves that help stabilize downstream pressure and ensure consistent flows for metering and dosing pumps, enabling high accuracy and stable operation. Also known as loading valves or anti-siphon valves. Sold to industrial customers and distributors serving water treatment, chemical dosing, and process applications.
• Pressure Relief Valves Valves that protect pumps, systems, or tanks from upset conditions such as pressure spikes, over-pressurization, or closed valves. Also known as safety valves or bypass valves. Used by industrial fluid handling operators and pump OEMs.
• Pulsation Dampeners / Inlet Stabilizers Devices that reduce damage caused by harmful shock waves and deliver continuous laminar chemical dosage at the injection point. Inlet stabilizers reduce inlet shock, acceleration head losses, and inlet cavitation. Used in chemical feed and metering pump installations across municipal and industrial process applications.
• FOX HP High-Pressure Pulsation Dampeners High-pressure pulsation dampeners extending Griffco's standard PD series into high-pressure and chemically aggressive applications. Includes eight technology families covering 10 bar to 20,000 PSI in bladder, diaphragm, piston, and bellow designs with ISO 9001 certification. BTHX series features PTFE elastomeric bellow and BSTX series features metallic bellow for zero-elastomer applications. Designed for OEM partners, oil & gas, and chemical processing customers requiring ASME U-Stamp / CE / ATEX / CRN / SELO / NR-13 certifications.
• Corporation Stops Valves that allow for injector quill removal without turning off the process flow. Can be fitted with an optional poppet to help minimize chemical build-up and improve chemical dispersion. Used for hot-tap connections to pressurized water or fluid mains.
• Calibration Columns Graduated cylinders installed on the suction side of metering pumps to measure flow and help calibrate dosing pumps for high accuracy. Also known as calibration cylinders or calibration pots. Provide a visual, real-time method for measuring pump flow rate with precise volume increments.
• Chemical Injection Valves One-way valves that enable passage of a liquid from a feed line into the center of a process line. Also known as injection quills or check valves. Ensure chemicals are injected accurately into the process without allowing backflow.
• Y-Strainers Strainers installed on the suction side of chemical feed pumps to prevent debris from entering the pump and clogging check valves or damaging the pump head.
• Gauge & Instrument Guards Devices that ensure optimal pressures are maintained in a chemical feed system and protect instruments against chemical attack. Also known as pressure gauge isolators. Used to extend instrument life and maintain measurement accuracy in chemical feed installations.
• Other Pump Accessories (Air Release Valves, Check Valves, Fluid Level Indicators, Sight Flow Indicators, Spare Parts Kits) Additional pump accessories including Air Release Valves, Check Valves, Calibration Column Fluid Level Indicators, Sight Flow Indicators, and Spare Parts Kits that complement the core Griffco valve and accessory product line.
