DFT® has been making the in-line check valves for over 70 years. It started with a customer’s need for a small metal-seated check valve that could be installed in any position while providing tight shut-off. The Basic-Check® valve was developed to satisfy that need.

Since 1846, Powell Valves has been centered around one thing: 100% customer satisfaction. We strive to continually improve on all aspects of our daily operations. Our mission, coupled with our product line manufactured to the highest quality standards, continues to be what separates us from the competition. At Powell, all of our facilities are recognized with ISO 9001 "Worldwide Quality."
