Oliver Valvetek provides a range of small-bore needle valves in bodies with flanged, threaded and welded end connections to suit all applications.

The small-bore subsea needle valves are qualified at different pressure ratings up to 15,000psi [1035 bar] and are suitable for 3050m [10,000ft] water depths. Qualification testing is performed to the exacting standards of API 6A and 17D 2nd edition as well as client and project specific applicaiton testing.
