Forum Energy Technologies

Forum utilizes the original Howe-Baker Technology that dates back to the 1940s. Trust the leader in desalting manufacturing and technology. Key Benefits: ● Reduced salt carryover ● Decreased power consumption ● Lower water carryover ● Minimized oil undercarry ● Higher water content manageability

Abrasive drilling mud. Temperature extremes from -40°F to 250°F. FET's Mud Gate Valves are purpose-built for North America's harshest conditions with NACE compliant trim options. From the Permian Basin to Canadian oil sands, operators trust FET when failure isn't an option. Equipment that performs when conditions are at their worst.

Every operation has unique requirements. FET offers Mud Gate Valves with multiple end connections—Hammer Union, Grayloc, threaded, API flanged, and butt weld. Available in regular and full port sizes with NACE compliant trim options. Configure for choke and kill manifolds, wellheads, or frac service. Get the right valve, first time

Unplanned downtime costs more than equipment replacement. FET's Mud Gate Valves are designed for field servicing with readily available replacement components and certification packages. When you can rebuild valves on-site instead of replacing entire units, you reduce inventory costs and maximize uptime. Smart procurement starts with lifecycle thinking.

When downtime isn't an option, your equipment can't afford to fail. FET's Mud Gate Valves deliver proven reliability for standpipe manifolds, wellheads, and high-pressure drilling operations. Every valve undergoes hydrostatic bi-directional testing up to 7,500 PSI working pressure with API 6A compliance.

Push your operations further with valves built for the modern oilfield. FET Mud Gate Valves combine the rigorous manufacturing requirements of API 6A with an enhanced 7,500 PSI working pressure rating. Every valve undergoes strict hydrostatic testing—including shell tests to 11,250 PSI—ensuring integrity long before it reaches your site. With FET, you get the documented certification you need and the high-pressure performance your project demands.
