Silicone Lubricants in Nacogdoches, Texas, Plant
Below lists the two ways in which NIBCO
®
bronze gate, globe, check and ball valves are manufactured in our Nacogdoches plant:
1. Standard valves:
All pressure rated bronze gate, globe, check and bronze ball valves are manufactured in Nacogdoches, Texas. Silicone is NOT
used in this plant in the production of valves or assembly of any component parts of the above listed products.
2. Valves can be cleaned for oxygen service:
• The steps involved are as follows:
• Clean ultrasonically all component parts with a degreaser in a warm water solution
• Rinse with warm water in an ultrasonic bath
• Rinse again in cold water
• Put all component parts under black light for inspection of any carbon. If carbon found, repeat steps above.
• Assemble and test valves
• Package the valves in a sealed plastic bag to avoid contamination
NOTE: Valves that are assembled and tested without silicone lubricants in this plant have a potential exposure to air-born
silicone as well as during shipping after they leave the plant. Therefore, NIBCO cannot certify valves produced in the
Nacogdoches plant to be 100% silicone free.
NIBCO INC. reserves the right to change materials, options and accessories without notice.
