EPTEX Coatings Valve and Fitting Finishing Systems
Valves and fittings are compact parts with sealing faces, threads, ports and machined areas that often need careful masking before coating. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder coating booths, ovens, exhaust, make-up air and utility connections used with EPTEX Coatings equipment.

Critical Faces And Masking Flow
The finishing area should support masking, coating, cure and demasking without mixing raw and finished parts. Tables, carts and racks need enough space to keep sealing faces and threads protected through the process.
Dense Racks In Small Footprints
Valve bodies and fittings can be loaded densely, which affects airflow and operator reach. Booth access, rack spacing and part orientation should be reviewed so powder can reach complex shapes without crowding the work zone.
Prep Dust And Powder Control
Abrasive prep, cleaning and powder application should be arranged so dust does not migrate into the coating area. Exhaust routes, make-up air and housekeeping access all influence the reliability of the cell.
Repeat Work Maintenance Points
High-changeover work benefits from easy access to filters, booth interiors, reclaim areas, oven doors, controls and compressed air connections. The layout should make routine cleaning practical.
Frequently asked questions
What valve details affect finishing equipment layout?
Part weight, rack density, masked faces, threaded areas, cure requirements and how parts move from prep to coating all affect layout.
Why are dense racks a concern?
Dense racks can restrict airflow and limit operator reach, so spacing and orientation should be checked before the booth and oven arrangement is finalized.
Can blast and powder work be near each other?
They can be reviewed together, but dust control, exhaust direction, transfer routes and cleaning access need careful coordination.
What should be available for a relocation review?
Provide equipment dimensions, photos, current utility connections, duct routes, part handling details and the proposed receiving area layout.
