About us
In 1906 James E. Bennett set up a business in London as a Coppersmith. He soon recognised a growing interest in the trade for the latest American pipe fittings and valves, and turned his attention to importing. Amongst the products he introduced to the British industry were those of Crane Co., a thriving American Company founded in the mid-19th century.
Now, for more than 100 years, Crane Fluid Systems has manufactured a range of valves and pipe fittings for the Building Services industry, and is developing a range of next generation balancing solutions. The product portfolio comprises a full range of traditional valves: ball, butterfly, check, gate and globe as well as strainers and drain cocks.
In addition, there is a range of WRAS approved Public Health Valves for hot and cold water systems that includes thermal circulation valves that assist in preventing Legionnaires’ Disease, as well as a range of pressure reducing valves.
Also available are malleable iron Pipe Fittings and unions, many of which carry the BSI Kitemark.
The Crane Fluid Systems ProBalance range offers a wide variety of Flow Management Systems and Static Balancing Valves, providing the ultimate in accuracy and reliability.
