Fittings, Valves & Tubing for Natural Gas Power Generation

A-Best Industrial Inc. Fittings, Valves, and Tubing supplies tube fittings, valves, manifolds and 316/316L stainless steel tubing for natural gas power plants. We support combined cycle and simple cycle plants, peaker units, cogeneration, engine generator sets and backup power. We're an authorized DK-Lok distributor at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, CA.

Natural gas makes about 40% of US utility-scale electricity, more than any other source, and new data center load is driving more gas generation. Every one of those plants depends on small-bore tubing and fittings to control fuel, measure pressure, and sample gas, steam and water.

Where Our Parts Go in a Gas Plant

Fuel Gas SkidsTube fittings, ball and needle valves, filters and relief valves for gas turbine and engine fuel conditioning, pressure reduction and metering. Shop tube fittings
Instrument LinesNeedle valves, manifolds and gauge connections for pressure transmitters, flow meters and analyzers across the plant. See needle valves
HRSG & Steam Sampling316/316L stainless tubing, fittings and valves for HRSG drains, steam and water analysis (SWAS) panels and chemical feed lines. See tubing
Emissions MonitoringSample lines, fittings and valves for CEMS shelters and stack testing. See stack testing supplies
