PIPE, VALVES, FITTINGS AND SO MUCH MORE

W&O is among the world’s largest suppliers of pipe, valves, fittings, actuation and engineered solutions to the marine and offshore industries. We also lead the way in ballast water treatment systems, energy conservation and saltwater cooling systems.

With over $50 million dollars of standing inventory, we carry a complete line of products in copper nickel, stainless steel, galvanized and carbon steel material. Our portfolio includes ANSI, DIN, JIS and U.S. Mil-Spec products and we also offer valves in virtually every body material, from iron, steel and bronze to exotic alloys such as chrome moly, hastelloy and titanium. All sizes and types, including metric, are available to ensure that we meet your requirements.

ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS

One of the things that truly sets W&O apart is our range of product solutions. Firmly positioned on the leading edge of advanced piping technologies, W&O is more than a pipe, valves, fittings supplier. We work closely with our customers to solve problems and offer innovative answers to their unique challenges. A few of our distinctive solutions include:

  • SeaCor™ from Georg Fischer Piping Systems – the first and only commercially available United States Coast Guard-Approved (USCG) marine thermoplastic piping system in the world.
  • No-weld piping systems including NORMACONNECT ®, Chibro and Pyplok®, the weldless, threadless way to join pipe/tube.
  • Bulkhead Sealing systems for cable and pipe including RISE for fire resistant sealing and NOFIRNO for the harshest fire ratings as well as gas and water tight systems.
  • Ballast Water Treatment Systems from Hyde Marine.
  • Sperre Coolers, solving seawater cooling for much longer intervals between cleaning.
