Distributor FAQ

Everything you need to know about the Atlas SSCV — from this opportunity to the VSI support to his distributors.

01 — About VSI & Atlas SSCV

Who is VSI and what is your flagship product?

VSI (Valve Systems International) is an American manufacturer specialized in severe service control valves. Our flagship product is the Atlas SSCV (Severe Service Control Valve), a patented control valve designed to operate under extreme choked-flow conditions without cavitation, erosion, or excessive noise.

Why does the Atlas valve represent a strong business opportunity for distributors?

The Atlas SSCV solves chronic problems that conventional valves cannot handle (destructive cavitation, noise levels of 85–120 dB, trim life of only 6–18 months). As a result:

  • Dramatic reduction in maintenance costs and unplanned downtime for end customers
  • Trim lifespan exceeding 10 years without replacement (field-proven)
  • Noise level below 60 dB (OSHA-compliant without acoustic enclosures)

This allows distributors to offer a true premium solution with attractive margins, strong differentiation, and a powerful value-based selling argument (fast ROI for the customer).

In which sectors does the Atlas valve sell best?

The main markets include:

  • Oil & Gas (high-pressure blowdown, corrosive fluids, NACE applications)
  • Petrochemical and refining
  • Data Centers (precise and quiet control of cooling loops)
  • Power generation, mining, water treatment, and other severe service applications.

It performs exceptionally well wherever there are high pressure drops (up to 6,000 PSID), noise issues, or cavitation.

03 — Distributor Partnership

What are the requirements to become an exclusive or non-exclusive distributor?

We are looking for serious partners with proven expertise in industrial valves, an established network in heavy industry, and the ability to promote high-end technical solutions. We offer distribution agreements that include:

  • Competitive margins
  • Full technical support
  • Product training
  • Marketing tools (brochures, videos, case studies)
  • Potential territorial exclusivity based on market potential
  • Sales support

Contact us to discuss a partnership tailored to your company.

What kind of support does VSI provide to its distributors?
  • Technical and commercial training (in-person or online)
  • Free application analysis by our engineering team
  • Comprehensive documentation (data sheets, brochures, 10+ year case studies)
  • Sales and marketing support (presentations, selling arguments)
  • Assistance with complex projects and bids
  • Fast delivery and after-sales follow-up
Is the Atlas valve easy to sell?

Yes. Thanks to its exceptional performance and real-world case studies, the sales pitch focuses on tangible savings for the customer (reduced maintenance, fewer shutdowns, noise compliance). Many customers reorder after successfully testing the Atlas on a critical application.

04 — Certifications & Technical Information

What certifications and materials are available?
  • Pressure rating: ANSI Class 2500 (up to 6,000 PSI)
  • Materials: Carbon Steel, Duplex, Hastelloy
  • Compliance: Full NACE MR0175
  • Design: Patented axisymmetric flow path + internal helical gear actuation
