When valve manufacturing conglomerate Emerson decided to leave the Navy marketplace, it ceased providing K-LOK valves. Longtime Navy distributor JA Moody stepped in to find a new solution and launched a partnership with another well-established small business, Lexair, Inc.. With a formal procurement approval from NAVSEA now in hand, Lexair will be manufacturing these critical valves for the Navy and distributing them through JA Moody's established sales and service channels. "By moving this product line to a small business that offers excellent customer service, product engineering, component machining and manufacturing in a modern state-of-the art facility, we can deliver better results to our end user Navy clients," says JA Moody President Lisa Smith. "Lexair has a lower overhead cost structure and the ability to actually manufacture in-house, which will result in better price and quality for the customer." The Keystone K-LOK meets all Navy MIL-DTL-24624A standards, including demanding shock and vibration resistance requirements. It is available in 10 stock sizes from 2.5 inches to 14 inches. Wafer and lugged flange styles are both available. The ultra-durable valve body and disc are made of 316 stainless or NAB and Monel, with graphite packing and an RFTE seat. In addition, Fire-safe Stainless Steel Vent Valves (Figure 641/640), and Aluminum Vent Valves (Figure 640/660) built to BUSHIP drawings will be manufactured by Lexair for the Navy and available exclusively through JA Moody. JA Moody brings its decades of distribution, stocking, packaging, assembling, and testing service for the US Navy and all its shipbuilders, operators, and contractors. It is a one-stop-shop for valve service for the surface and subsea warfare communities, from new build projects to in-service repairs to shipyard maintenance availability. Thanks to a large in-stock supply of the most common standard valve types, plus the on-site repair expertise of its Moody Marine Service division, its technicians can diagnose and resolve valve issues with a rapid turnaround. #Shipbuilding #MarineIndustry #Valves

Had a great time at the WorkBoat Show chatting with these impressive 'night owls'—high school seniors from Florida Atlantic University High School! Super smart and laser-focused on engineering, these four young men earned their trip to NOLA and made the most of every moment here. Who knows—maybe we’re looking at future JA Moody team members! #MarineIndustry #Shipbuilding #MarineServices

JA Moody proudly offers the world’s most compact and efficient control valve, designed for optimal performance in tight spaces. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation DDV is designed, qualified, and manufactured to the requirements of MIL-DTL32632. This standard was developed in 2019 to detail the requirements, and to facilitate introduction of DDV’s into the fleet. This specification requires the valve to perform with high reliability under extreme conditions. To successfully meet the requirements each valve style and size must undergo a qualification process to verify the design meets all the requirements of the specification. The DDV design is available in sizes ranging from ¼ inch to 12 inches, up to Class 1500, and in most common metallic materials used on shipboard systems. Furthermore, the DDV can be designed to fit most standard pressure classes as well as any end connection types to allow for retrofitting. DDV SIZE AND WEIGHT BENEFITS Due to the compact design of the DDV internals as well as the increased flow efficiency, the DDV can offer significant size and weight benefits when compared to other valves of the same size.
