ITHUBA VALVES & INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES

General information

Ithuba Valves & Industrial Supplies cc was established in 2000 and shelved for some reasons, then commenced trading in August 2003 and we earned a fine reputation as a refurbishment company in the valve industry with the help of Premier Valves (Pty) Ltd by using their technical department.

The relationship resulted in the successful completion of various large contracts, including phase one and two of the demothballing of Camden Power Station and Phase one of Grootvlei Power Station.

In January 2006 Ithuba Valves acquired Premier Valve’s manufacturing facility, as part of its strategy of becoming South Africa’s first fully-black owned valve manufacturer.

In December 2008 Ithuba Valves acquire Premier Valves designs, drawings and patterns of Metal Seated Wedge Gate valves from 500mm to 1700mm and for the Reflux Non Return valves Multi Door and Single Door, ranging from 500mm to 1500mm.

Ithuba Valves manufacture the above valves from 80mm to 3000mm. We have our own designs from 300mm to 450mm.

Ithuba Valves has launched a new Butterfly valve which range from 1000mm to 2800mm (PHOENIX Butterfly Valve). Its features include a dish disk that reduces the weight of the valve by 20% and the valve is able to handle seven to ten litres of fluid a second.
