Product Details

When it comes to subsea operations, performance is critical. That’s why Oilgear created the SFV to fit your operations. This normally open, pilot-operated, two-position, three-way subsea control poppet valve has aerospace-grade reliability and customizable configurations. And with fewer parts than classic SPM valves, SFVs are made for easy maintenance and less downtime.
