Trusted Supplier For The Datacentres Sector
Why Choose VIP For Datacentre Projects?
The datacentre sector has recently emerged as a significant area of supply for VIP.
We’ve become an integral part of the datacentre supply chain, thanks to the large scale and extensive pipework involved. This position has enabled VIP to stock valves up to 12″ in size, ensuring timely delivery to our customers. Additionally, our expertise in expansion design services has been in demand, particularly given the long pipe runs characteristic of datacentre installations.

Supporting Data Centre Cooling From Specification To Supply
Data centre cooling projects need more than individual products. They need the right equipment, correctly selected, available when required and backed by people who understand the pressures of complex project programmes. VIP combines large-bore valve availability, commissioning and system protection products, in-house actuation and specialist expansion expertise to support contractors and consultants across more of the mechanical cooling package.
Large-Bore Valves for Data Centre Cooling
High-flow cooling systems often require significantly larger valves than conventional commercial building services. VIP regularly stocks 8″, 10″ and 12″ butterfly valves, helping contractors avoid long lead times on critical project items. Larger sizes can also be manufactured to suit specific requirements.
Wafer, semi-lugged and fully lugged options can support main cooling headers, chillers, heat exchangers, pumps and other major plant connections, with gear operation or actuation available where required. Combining large-bore availability with experienced technical support helps customers select the right valve arrangement without unnecessary procurement delays.
Balancing And Protecting Cooling Systems
Correct flow distribution is essential to cooling-system performance. VIP supplies commissioning valves for measuring, regulating and verifying flow throughout chilled-water and associated cooling circuits. Y-strainers help protect pumps, heat exchangers, valves and other equipment from debris, while non-return valves help prevent reverse flow across pump and circulation systems. By sourcing these products alongside the main isolation package, contractors can simplify procurement while gaining technical support from one supplier across a wider part of the system.
Automated Valve Packages With In-House Valve Actuation
VIP supplies complete automated valve packages using pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators for ball valves, butterfly valves and other valve types. Packages can be assembled and tested in-house, helping ensure the valve, actuator and accessories are correctly matched before they arrive on site. Actuated valves can support automatic isolation, flow control and integration into wider building or plant control strategies.
Expansion Design For Long Pipe Runs
Large data centre developments can contain extensive pipe runs where thermal movement, vibration and equipment loads need to be properly controlled. VIP supplies expansion joints, rubber bellows, anchors, slide guides and vibration-control products, supported by a specialist expansion design service. Our team can review drawings, identify suitable expansion positions and mark up the required joints, anchors and guides, giving contractors and consultants practical design support alongside the physical products. This makes VIP more than a component supplier. We can help customers understand how the expansion system should work as a complete arrangement.
