When it comes to managing industrial and commercial facilities, the right valve choice can make all the difference. It might be tempting to opt for the most cost-effective solution upfront, but in the long run, the wrong valve can lead to costly maintenance, frequent operational interruptions, and avoidable downtime.  

At Fusion, we believe that investing in the right valve from the start ensures smooth, reliable performance, especially in harsh environments. That’s why we specialise in plastic valves, which, when installed correctly, provide long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep. 

However, selecting the right valve isn’t always straightforward. With so many factors to consider—ball, butterfly, check, diaphragm, or gate valves? PE, PP, PVDF, UPVC, CPVC, ABS, or PFA materials? EPDM or FPM seals?—it can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Fusion’s team is here to simplify the process and make sure you select the valve that provides the best performance and durability for your specific application, without the guesswork. 

Through our two divisions, Fusion Piping and Fusion Plastics, we offer a wealth of knowledge. Working together, we provide tailored solutions across a wide range of industries, from mining and chemical plants to water treatment and industrial manufacturing. 

• Fusion Piping imports high-quality Schedule 80 UPVC and CPVC piping from suppliers like Charlotte and Sekisui, along with valves from trusted brands like Asahi and Effast. We also offer all necessary accessories, from solvent cement to pipe clips, to ensure seamless installation. 

• Fusion Plastics specialises in designing, fabricating, and installing custom plastic components such as chemical storage tanks, dosing cabinets, and piping assemblies. Our team of engineers, fabricators, and site experts ensures long-term solutions with minimal maintenance. 

Whether you need help with valve selection, system design, or installation, we bring together the expertise needed to provide systems and components that are designed for long-term, cost-effective operations. 

In industrial applications, the ball valve is often the go-to choice due to its straightforward, quarter-turn operation. But depending on your specific needs, you might require a different solution: 

• Butterfly Valves: Ideal for tight spaces or larger pipelines where quick on/off control is needed. 

• Diaphragm Valves: Best for when you need precise control over flow rates. 

• Check Valves (Non-return valves): Crucial when backflow prevention is required. 

• Other Valves: We also offer options like pinch, gate, and probe valves, along with line strainers, actuators, and limit switches to customise your system further. 

Unsure which valve is right for you? Our experienced team is here to guide you through the options and help you find the perfect fit for your environment and application. 

One of the biggest reasons clients choose plastic valves over steel alternatives is their corrosion resistance. Unlike steel, which needs regular coating to prevent rusting, plastic valves offer durability without the maintenance burden.  

The key to their performance, however, lies in choosing the right type of plastic for your specific application. With Fusion’s expertise, we’ll help you select the right material—whether it’s UPVC, CPVC, ABS, PP or PVDF —to ensure your valve is up to the task in even the harshest conditions. 

Here are just a few examples of how we’ve helped clients solve complex challenges with our specialised valve solutions: 

Asahi Type 21 Ball Valve

This PVDF valve with Viton seals, paired with a pneumatic actuator and solenoid valve, was custom-designed to handle aggressive environments requiring precision. 

Asahi Type 14 Diaphragm Valve

This 4" valve, made from PVDF/PTFE with an AV Pneumatic Air-to-Spring actuator, offers exceptional control and performance in demanding environments. 

 Asahi Type 57P Butterfly Valve

Installed in a large-bore PE pipeline at a rural WA mine site, this gear-operated valve is built for heavy-duty, high-volume applications, ensuring smooth operations with minimal maintenance. 

At Fusion, we’re not just providing products—we’re providing peace of mind. We understand how critical it is to choose the right valve and material to avoid costly downtime. Our team is dedicated to working alongside you to ensure that your system runs efficiently, reliably, and with minimal maintenance. Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing system or design something from scratch, our goal is to help you achieve long-term, worry-free performance. 

We’re here to offer expertise at every stage, from helping you select the perfect valve for your system to offering continued support long after installation. Let us help optimise your valve selection and build a system that works for you today and well into the future.
