Manufacturers, regulators and restaurant operators look to NSF International for the development of public health standards and certification programs that help protect the world’s food, water, commercial and consumer products, and the environment. As an independent, accredited organization, their standards group facilitates the development of standards, and the service groups test and certify products and systems including all sorts of restaurant equipment and accessories. They also provide auditing and risk management solutions for public health and the environment.

Valves are widely used in different restaurant equipment designs. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. 

Valves may be operated manually, either by a handle, lever, pedal or wheel. Valves may also be automatic, driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow, allowing control over a variety of operational requirements.
