About


Alkon fittings and valves touch everyone, in one way or another, every day. From the Abrams tank to amusement park rides. Packaging systems to dental equipment. Car washes and refrigerators to low riders. We can make any product from scratch — from melting and forging to casting and machining to the finished product. Alkon is one of the largest manufacturers of brass push-to-connect (PTC) fittings in the U.S. Alkon also is one of only a handful of companies worldwide with the technology to produce lapped spool valves, one line of many in our thousands of valve products, used in a variety of industries around the world. Customers come to us because they know we'll do it right. 10,000+ fittings, valves and flow-control products. All Alkon products arrive with pre-applied thread seal — and the performance assurance that comes with our high quality standards. Just two of many ways we make sure our products are the best you can get. Alkon is certified ISO 9001:2008.

Alkon fittings are available in brass and plastic and with nickel plating for lasting durability in harsh operating conditions. Our line of fittings is one the most extensive available on the market today. We welcome custom parts orders on short notice.
