Ariel APV Product Phase Out CPCPs Valve Upgrade Opportunity

Ariel is gradually phasing out the APV valve product. Complete APV valve assemblies are available for purchase through the end of 2020. Ariel maintains our commitment to sell and support APV valve seats, repair kits, and other components through the end of 2022. This phase out will allow for a seamless cross over as APV valves reach the end of their useful field operating life.

Ariel commits to being the world standard in gas compression by developing, selling, and supporting the best compressors and technology available. Our goal is to provide incredible customer service that helps our customers achieve the lowest cost of ownership. With this in mind, the CP style valve is now standard in the majority of our compressor cylinders.

The technology of CP/CPs style valve provides the best longevity in the industry. Ariel fleets equipped with CP/CPs technology offer unprecedented uptime and performance. In response to these successes, Ariel is announcing changes to our legacy valve product, specifically APV style valves.
