Our History & Mission

About Us

Welcome to Fluid Control Specialties (FCS), a multi-generational business deeply rooted in the specialty of selling valves. With an expertise honed over decades, FCS stands unrivaled in Florida’s flow control industry.

Founded in 1984 by Robert (Bobby) Whritenour Jr., FCS emerged with a singular focus: to provide top-notch valve solutions to municipalities across Florida. Bobby’s visionary approach, coupled with inherited expertise passed down through generations, laid the groundwork for a company that has since become a cornerstone in Florida’s flow control industry.

Driven by a profound understanding of the precision and intricacies within this field, Bobby leveraged his education and extensive field experience to propel FCS beyond mere valve sales. Recognizing the growing demand for actuation and automation solutions, FCS evolved into a “supply and install” specialist.

Today, the FCS team offers a comprehensive suite of services, including on-site start-up, field service, complete turnkey solutions, retrofitting, and maintains inventory of Florida’s most sought-after plug valves, available in sizes up to 42″.
