Who is Tecofi and what does it make?

Tecofi is a French manufacturer of industrial valves from the Lyon region: butterfly valves, knife gate valves, rubber-seated gate valves, check valves, ball valves, expansion joints, air valves and steam traps. The range is used in water treatment and distribution, wastewater treatment, desalination, the pulp and paper industry, biogas, chemicals, the sugar industry and HVAC installations. For a quotation, send us the valve code, the nominal diameter DN, the nominal pressure PN and the fluid.

Butterfly valves come in several designs: TECFLY with sleeve, TECLARGE Series 20 with flanges, TECWAT and VP Series 13 with double eccentricity, TECFLON with PTFE lining for corrosive fluids and the high-performance TECSUP. Knife gate valves are unidirectional, for water treatment, pulp and powders, or bidirectional, such as VGB4400, with handwheel, gearbox, pneumatic cylinder or ISO flange for an actuator, and the stainless steel VGB6400A. VGT4400, with a through-going knife, has a GGG50 (EN-GJS-500-7) ductile iron body, a 304 stainless steel knife and sealing in both directions, for the pulper outlet and under silos. The F4 (short series) and F5 (long series) rubber-seated gate valves cover PN10 and PN16, up to DN600.

Tecofi has operated since 1985 and is based in Genas, and the manufacturing unit at Corbas has seven assembly lines and APAVE-approved hydraulic test benches, up to DN1600 at PN16, DN1000 at PN25 and DN600 at PN40. For drinking water there are valves with ACS and WRAS certificates, and for desalination designs in 316L stainless steel, aluminium bronze, duplex and super duplex. The CBL ball check valves are for wastewater, loaded and viscous fluids.

How do we supply Tecofi in Romania?

We can quote Tecofi butterfly valves (TECFLY, TECLARGE, TECWAT, TECFLON, TECSUP), VGB4400, VGB6400A and VGT4400 knife gate valves, F4 and F5 rubber-seated gate valves, CBL and swing check valves, ball valves and expansion joints, including with electric or pneumatic actuator. For a correct quotation we need the code or valve type, DN and PN, the flange standard, the body and sealing material, the fluid and the temperature. We bring Tecofi valves in from France, on order, usually in 1–4 weeks; for large diameters, depending on the brand and the specifications, the lead time may be longer.

Installing the valves on the pipeline and pressure-testing the installation are outside our quotation; we quote the valve, with or without actuator.

Frequently asked questions about Tecofi

What does Tecofi make?

Tecofi makes industrial valves: butterfly valves (TECFLY, TECLARGE, TECWAT, TECFLON, TECSUP), unidirectional, bidirectional and through-knife knife gate valves, F4 and F5 rubber-seated gate valves, check valves, ball valves, balancing valves, expansion joints, air valves and steam traps, based in Genas, near Lyon.

When do I choose a Tecofi knife gate valve and when a butterfly valve?

The knife gate valve is for loaded fluids, sludges, pulp and powders, because the knife has a bevelled edge and cuts through deposits. The butterfly valve suits clean fluids and control duty. For pulp or silos the VGT4400 with through-going knife is used; tell us the fluid, DN and pressure.

How quickly do you supply Tecofi valves in Romania?

A Tecofi valve takes 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier; ordered from France, it usually arrives in 1–4 weeks. For large diameters or designs with actuator, depending on the brand and the specifications, the lead time may be longer.

Can I replace an existing knife gate valve with a Tecofi one without modifying the pipe?

What matters is the face-to-face length, the flange standard, DN, the sealing direction and the type of actuation. Send us the dimensions of the old valve or its nameplate, the fluid and the pressure; we check whether the VGB4400 or a unidirectional variant fits between the same flanges and with what actuation.

What data do I send for a quotation on Tecofi butterfly valves?

Send DN, PN, the flange standard, the mounting type (sleeved or flanged), the material of the body, disc and sleeve, the fluid, the temperature and the type of actuation: lever, gearbox or actuator. For drinking water, state whether you need an ACS or WRAS certificate.

How do I request a Tecofi quotation?

Send the Tecofi code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
