Rodney Hunt

Rodney Hunt, founded in 1840 and headquartered in Orange, Massachusetts, manufactures water control gates and valves for water and wastewater infrastructure, dam operations, and flood control. Operating from a 47-acre facility, the company produces what it describes as the industry's broadest range of cast iron and fabricated gates worldwide. The product lineup includes cast iron sluice gates for submerged high-head applications, fabricated stainless steel and aluminum slide gates, weir gates, and stop logs for open-channel flow control. Large-infrastructure products encompass roller gates for dam crest control, radial gates for regulating water and wastewater flow over dams and drainage structures, and the patented Pelican and Bascule crest gate systems hinged along the invert. Flap gates come in both cast iron and fabricated configurations for one-way flow. Rodney Hunt also supplies cast and fabricated knife gate valves for underground and chamber installations in sewage and water systems. Engineering support includes computational fluid dynamics analysis, finite element analysis, seismic calculations, and actuator sizing. The company maintains an extensive spare parts inventory and offers a Quickship rapid-delivery program, with shop order files dating to the 1950s for refurbishment projects.
