Why Use Only Original Equipment Manufacturers’ Valve Parts?

Warranty, Quality, Performance, Reliability, Compatibility, Longevity and most importantly, Safety.

We at Baker Hughes invest a substantial amount of money and years of effort into the development of each Masoneilan™ and Consolidated™ valve. We put all our valves through strenuous testing to ensure that our parts meet the strictest quality standards in the most extreme conditions and situations.

Many other companies do not have a Research and Development department, and in most cases, they simply don’t spend a fraction of the time, money and brainpower that we do to craft the highest quality products. What’s worse, they make substitutions with cheaper materials that can cause parts to wear faster, resulting in dangerously diminished performance.

Safeguard Your Investment

Design alterations, including unintentional ones, pose a substantial safety risk to both employees and valves. Replicators might not know the reason for the design of a critical feature, material, or process. By using genuine Masoneilan™ and Consolidated™ parts from Baker Hughes, you eliminate the risk of downgraded safety with substandard copies. When you add the world class service of our Masoneilan Authorized Repair Centres (MARC™) and Consolidated Green Tag™ Centres (GTC), you’re assured that your valve warranty remains intact.

Superior Dependability

Genuine Masoneilan™ and Consolidated™ valve parts are manufactured to the exacting requirements of the original valve, allowing us to deliver the most dependable long-term performance, help prevent unscheduled downtime, and reduce the need for costly, time-consuming repairs.

So, when it comes to maintenance, don’t be tempted by seemingly cheaper aftermarket services and parts that could end up costing you more by jeopardizing uptime, longevity and low cost of ownership.
