Universal Valve Covers Every Risk Point

Overfill Protection to Spill Containment: How Universal Valve Covers Every Risk Point

Every fuel storage system has a handful of moments where things can go wrong: the tank fills too high, a delivery hose disconnects unexpectedly, a fitting corrodes, or product seeps past a coupling into the surrounding soil. Universal Valve has built its reputation by making hardware for each of these failure points, rather than treating fuel-system safety as a single problem with a single fix.

Our Tips For Choosing an Air Compressor

Air is crucial not only for weather changes and for our very own existence, but also for tools that help us save a lot of time and effort. However, to make use of air tools, one must use either a fixed or portable air compressor system. Air compressors are made to be used with different types of power and hand tools as long as you get the specs right. Not every tool or piece of equipment is made the same, thus, it doesn’t have the same features or requirements.

Welding Essentials: Our Tips for Using Flap Wheels

Welding is the meticulous process of fusing metals. It encompasses detailed prep and surface cleaning to remove contaminants and rust that can otherwise spoil or weaken the weld, applying heat and current to melt the metals together, and cleaning the finished joint to prevent oxidation for a more presentable look. 

While different welding processes and equipment fuse metals of the same or different types, the cleaning stage often catches most newbies off guard. Slag from flux-coated electrodes and wire can be unsightly and hard to remove unless you have a decently powerful grinder and a full set of flap wheels in varying shapes and grit. The combo makes light work of heavy stock removal in thicker pieces, in grinding and deburring tasks, getting deeper chamfered or bevel cuts, and of course, getting the workpiece to a smooth and desirable finish.
