The Problem: Outdated Globe Valves Are Costly and Complex:
Globe valves have long been the go-to solution for demanding process applications, often customized to meet specific flow, pressure, and durability needs. But their complexity has become a liability.
Today’s operations require safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective solutions. Traditional globe valves now pose several challenges:
• High maintenance costs due to specialized trims and configurations
• Large, heavy designs that complicate installation and replacement
• Multiple leak paths, making emissions compliance more difficult
• An overwhelming variety of parts that slow down repairs and increase inventory needs
Legacy globe valves are no longer meeting modern performance or sustainability standards.
The Solution: The Camflex™ GR: A Smarter, Direct Replacement
That’s where Camflex™ GR comes in. Developed by Baker Hughes and delivered by Allied Valve, the Camflex™ GR is a game-changer in control valve engineering. It delivers all the performance of a globe valve—with the simplicity, compactness, and cost savings of a rotary design.
Designed as a direct drop-in replacement using ANSI face-to-face dimensions, the Camflex™ GR eliminates the need for piping changes or custom spool pieces. It’s a true plug-and-play solution—ready to solve common pain points without extra work.
Why Choose the Camflex™ GR?
Smaller and Lighter
The Camflex™ GR is up to 50% smaller and weighs half as much as legacy globe valves. It’s easier to install, simpler to handle, and requires less structural support—without sacrificing precision control.
Lower Emissions
This valve is built to exceed today’s strict emissions standards. It includes a standard “Low-E” packing system and integrated extension bonnets, reducing leak paths and surpassing ISO 15848 Class A and EPA CLLT requirements.
Simplified Maintenance
With fewer parts and a common plug design across all capacities, the Camflex™ GR streamlines maintenance and inventory planning. It reduces downtime and ensures quicker repairs with fewer resources.
Significant Cost Savings
Most customers see a 60–80% savings per valve. Lower purchase costs, less labor, reduced support materials, and simplified upkeep all add up to a major reduction in total cost of ownership.
