NAVY
”Department of the Navy“
”Navy Ships Parts Control Center“
Mechanicsburg, PA
The Department of the Navy, when using standard commodity type valves, assigns APL-CID numbers to
each individual valve manufactured by a company. Valves of the same figure number, but of different size
get different CID numbers.
The (APL) Allowance Parts List, (CID) Code Identification Numbers and (NSN) National Stock Numbers
are used by the Navy in the Parts Control Center to order replacement valves or parts for valves that are
installed on board United States Navy vessels.
When a Navy vessel is being built, the ship yard doing the construction must apply to the Parts Control
Center for CID numbers on all valves before the Navy will accept delivery of the vessel.
On many NIBCO valves, the CID and NSN numbers have been assigned. Consult NIBCO for more informa-
tion.
AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING
The American Bureau of Shipping states in Article 36.15.1; All valves are to be constructed and tested in
accordance with a recognized standard, such as ANSI, MSS or other, acceptable to the Bureau. They are
to bear the trademark of the manufacturer legibly stamped or cast on the exterior of the valve, as well as
the pressure rating class for which the manufacturer guarantees the valve will meet the requirements of
the standards.
The following iron gate, globe and check valves are approved by ABS for marine service: F-617, F-619,
