Core offering

Humphrey Products Company designs and manufactures pneumatic and fluid control valves, valve systems, and customized products based on its proprietary diaphragm-poppet technology. Its portfolio includes solenoid valves, air piloted valves, manual and mechanical valves, proportional control valves, inert diaphragm poppet valves for aggressive media, the TAC miniature pneumatic logic system, and engineered custom solutions. Products are sold to medical, analytical, factory automation, test and measurement, and process control equipment manufacturers.

Product overview

Humphrey Products is a pneumatic valve manufacturer specializing in the design and manufacture of fluid control valves, valve systems, and customized products. The product portfolio is organized as a unified platform of complementary valve types: Solenoid Valves (on/off control) form the core direct-acting and pilot-operated offerings, supplemented by Air Piloted Valves, Manual Valves, and Mechanical Valves for various actuation methods. Proportional Control Valves enable precise flow adjustment, while the TAC System provides a comprehensive miniature pneumatic logic platform. Specialty lines include Inert Solenoid/Proportional Valves for aggressive media, Diaphragm Poppet Valves for demanding environments, and Check/Shuttle/Quick Exhaust auxiliary valves. The company also offers Medical Valves (Life Science Group solutions) and Custom Valves (Engineered Solutions Group) for specialized applications. New product introductions include the 101 Series 10mm iDP Valve, MiDP S390/S391 Stepper Operated Proportional Valves, CSV 10mm Cartridge Valves, and ProControl PV3/PV10 valves.
