Valves, Fittings & Steam Traps
Valves controlling steam and high-temperature process fluids in industrial settings relied on asbestos stem packing and body gaskets to prevent leakage at operating temperatures. Steam traps, pressure regulators, and control valves from manufacturers including Crane, Walworth, Yarway, Copes-Vulcan, Leslie Controls, and Spirax Sarco shipped with asbestos packing as standard. Pipefitters, steamfitters, and valve mechanics who repacked valve stems and replaced body gaskets on these components were among the consistently highest-exposed trades in industrial settings.
