Custom
Custom challenges need a custom solution.
Our first priority begins with discovering your challenges, needs and requirements to match your application.
This can sometimes be the most intensive part of the development cycle, but well worth it. Our engineering team can engage at any phase in your development process, from inception to manufacture and add value each step of the way. Team members represent each functional area of our business in order to build confidence that your project will be design-ready once a quote has been approved.
Once the proposal is accepted, our engineering team begins design for manufacturing.
Our team leverages innovation, industry expertise and a creative approach to problem-solving in order to design the most efficient and cost-effective solution. Because of our investment in state-of-the-art technology, we can validate designs with 3D printing to ensure fit and operation, FEA to address structural concerns and fluid testing in-house to verify performance.
Our proven, precision manufacturing techniques and processes produce parts that can be trusted, even with short lead times and small batches.
Our ISO quality system ensures part-to-part consistency. With in-house life cycle, pressure and flow requirements testing, we can easily verify and validate customer specifications. After machining, we assemble, mark the housing and test 100% of the parts to ensure every unit meets our exacting standards.

Strataflo Defense
Strataflo supplies custom check valves to the U.S. military. From start to finish, each project is completed within a short lead-time, on budget and to the military’s precise standards. Every contract is unique in what’s required. Materials include steel, stainless, aluminum and brass, often with Mil-spec coatings and plating. Our in-house testing lab validates pressure, flow and life-cycle requirements. Parts are laser-marked per spec, even including readable 2D barcodes.

OEM Partnerships
Strataflo maintains decades-long relationships with OEMs in all types of industries, supplying standard and custom valve solutions, in addition to assemblies that make the customer’s manufacturing more efficient and cost-effective.
One example is a check valve we designed to fit a customer-specific mounting bracket. This custom design has eliminated installation errors.
Strataflo also designed a fully custom solution that incorporates a special stainless casting and customer-specific end connections. Each of these unique projects incorporate the standard Strataflo poppet system into a custom valve design.

Global Missions
We have a strong desire to use our expertise and products to make the world a better place, especially when it comes to clean drinking water.
One of our partners in this effort is Design Outreach, a humanitarian engineering organization. As part of their LifePump deep well handpump project, we have worked with their team to supply our foot valve, adapted with an extra-rigid cast end to prevent damage when dropped in the deep boreholes of Africa. We also worked with their team to engineer and manufacture a unique self-closing valve, designed for rural water standposts, that uses our industry-leading rubber poppet in conjunction with a robust handle. These products are used throughout Haiti and Africa.
Besides engineering custom solutions, we are pleased to also supply various organizations monetarily and in-kind that support clean drinking water in Africa, Haiti and South America.

Industry Wide Solutions
Many years ago, Strataflo helped a manufacturer design a check valve to fit into a specific water conditioning unit. Strataflo was able to machine the custom profile from a standard brass check valve. Later, we designed a replacement for the brass valve molded from an NSF-approved acetal plastic. Since that time, we have also designed two similar valves to fit other manufacturers’ control valves. The standard Strataflo poppet system has been integrated into each of these products, resulting in a more durable industry solution.
