Revolutionizing the control valve technology
The history of control valves in the carpet cleaning industry has seen
the use of valves designed for other industries, adapted to carpet
cleaning tools in a sometimes haphazard way. Valves designed for 200 and
400 PSI have been adapted for 1000 PSI. Valves for straight-thru flow
were adapted by adding a 45° ell to use with the solution line. Valves
have been used with a flat seal and seat concept, inviting seat damage
from dirt and sand in the solution line. Valves were used that were hard
to open and would slam shut.

Now, technology points the way towards the future
utilizing new design concepts specifically for the carpet cleaning
industry. Westpak introduces the "soft opening" control valve for wands
which makes this part of the carpet cleaning tool, easier to use with
longer life.
Westpak valves sold by World of Clean are designed for 1200 (2000 for
stainless steel) PSI, and were tested at higher pressure. These valves
are designed for popular mounting patterns, and have retrofit brackets
available as well. Westpak valves are designed with a 30° offset to be
ideal for your solution lines without extra fittings or bulk. Our
Stainless Steel ball and Teflon seat makes a long-lasting seal and is
self cleaning and self-centering every time. The combination of these
features and the design make this valve the "soft-opening" valve that is
becoming so popular in the industry and allows you to throttle the
valve at any pressure. No more stress in the hands as the "soft-opening"
feature uses less power from your hands, even at 1000+ PSI.
Westpak valves use only FORGED BRASS or STAINLESS
STEEL in the body of the valves. Other components are made of stainless
steel and Teflon. There are no plastic or aluminum valves in our product
lines.

valve with the double o-ring stem seals and the components that make a
world class valve.
