Offshore hydraulics is unforgiving, and your specifications reflect it.
Salt spray destroys carbon steel. Chloride-laden air corrodes standard components fast. Deck machinery, hose reels, and exposed valve handles need 316 stainless or purpose-built coatings, or they become replacement orders within months.
Sour service is non-negotiable. Where H2S is present, materials must meet NACE sour service requirements. A non-compliant valve in sour service is not a quality issue. It is a safety incident waiting for a date.
Class societies want certificates, not promises. DNV, Lloyd's Register, and TUV documentation must accompany components going onto classed vessels and platforms. No paperwork, no installation.
Failure offshore is a crisis onshore. When a platform system is down, every hour spent waiting on shore-side logistics is production lost. You need a supplier who can put certified components on a truck the same day.
The lead item for a reason. These ball valves come in 2-way, 3-way, and flanged configurations with working pressures up to 11,760 PSI, and they are manufactured in Germany by Pister, an ISO 9001-certified maker, with BAM and DVGW approvals. If your project requires marine class certification, ask us and we will confirm current documentation with the manufacturer. From wellhead control panels to deck machinery isolation, this is the valve that clears spec review the first time.
For splash zones, deck installations, and anywhere chlorides reach, the RKH Series is all 316 stainless (rated to 6,000 PSI), and the HRKH Series reaches 11,760 PSI in steel or 10,150 PSI in 316 stainless. You get Pister pressure capability in an alloy that shrugs off salt spray, which means fewer corrosion-driven replacements and fewer emergency requisitions.
USA-made PC-400 Series needle valves handle precise flow control and gauge isolation on platform and FPSO systems, with NACE-rated stainless options for sour service. When the spec sheet says H2S, this is the line item that clears review.
Winches, davits, cranes, and hose reels see pressure spikes that hammer ordinary ball-lock couplers. Our screw-together couplers thread into a connection that holds through impulse and vibration, rated from 5,000 PSI up to 17,000 PSI in the PVV Series poppet type, exactly what your deck machinery demands.
FFS Series stainless flat-face couplers make no-drip connections on workboat and platform circuits where every drop of oil on deck is an incident report. Stainless H900 test points and compatible gauges let your technicians verify live system pressure on running equipment, no shutdown, no cracked fittings.
Offshore, the paperwork is the product. Our Pister ball valves are manufactured in Germany by Pister, an ISO 9001-certified maker, with BAM and DVGW approvals, and we stock NACE-compliant stainless configurations for sour service and 316 stainless construction for chloride environments. Tell us the spec your project engineer handed you, and we will match components to it, with documentation available on request.
Here is what our service looks like at 4:30 on a Friday. John C. in Houston, TX called at exactly that hour: a shutdown, and valves needed. Our team stayed late, pulled the order, and drove it to UPS ourselves. The equipment was running by Saturday noon. That is not a policy. It is a habit we have kept since 1985, backed by same-day fulfillment, shelves stocked deep, a full one-year warranty, and people who answer 800-322-9527 knowing what NACE means. And when a spec calls for something we do not shelve, we are a distributor with worldwide sourcing, so we go get it. Fast. Friendly. Reliable. John would tell you the same.
PCI has supplied distributors and OEMs since 1985 as the distributor's distributor. Volume and wholesale pricing are available. Request a quote or call 800-322-9527 to set up an account.
Our Pister BKH, SKH, RKH, and HRKH ball valves are manufactured in Germany by Pister, an ISO 9001-certified maker, with BAM and DVGW approvals. Manufacturer documentation is available on request and confirmed at quote time, so tell us what your project requires when you request your quote and we will verify current paperwork with the manufacturer.
We do. PC-400 Series needle valves are available in NACE-compliant stainless configurations, and we can advise on material options across the line. Send us the sour service spec and we will confirm fit before you order.
Pister ball valves are rated up to 11,760 PSI depending on series and size. High-pressure couplers reach 17,000 PSI on the PVV Series poppet type. Exact ratings by size are on each product page, and our team will verify any application at 800-322-9527.
Same day. Anything ordered before our daily cutoff leaves Solon, Ohio that afternoon, and we will coordinate the fastest routing to the dock or heliport with you. Call 800-322-9527 and tell us the deadline.
Send us the spec, the alloy, and the deadline. We will handle the rest. Request a quote online or call 800-322-9527.
