Take a closer look at how Whipps, Inc. brings precision to life with our 300 Series Telescoping Valves. This behind-the-scenes video follows the warm, hands-on process of machining each stainless steel component — from the smooth spin of the lathe to the final inspection by a skilled machinist.

Designed for ponds, tanks, and treatment basins, our telescoping valves make water-level control simple and reliable. Operators can easily raise or lower the sliding drain tube to draw off clear water or remove sludge with exact control.

Every valve is crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and fitted with premium UHMW and rubber seals to ensure smooth movement, tight sealing, and minimal maintenance for years to come.

Built with care. Engineered for precision. Trusted in water control systems across municipal, industrial, and environmental applications.

Looking for precision, reliability, and long-term performance in water level control? You’re in the right place.
In this video, we showcase the simple yet powerful mechanics of a Whipps, Inc. Telescoping Valve—a vital tool in managing fluid levels in treatment basins, clarifiers, reservoirs, and other water containment systems. Watch as the manual handwheel rotates to drive the stem, smoothly raising and lowering the slip tube to control liquid draw-off with accuracy and ease.
From stormwater to wastewater, Whipps telescoping valves are trusted for critical applications where durability, operator control, and cleanability matter most.
🔧 How It Works:
The telescoping valve is a manually operated water control device that allows adjustable withdrawal of liquids at various levels within a tank or basin. When the handwheel is turned, it rotates a threaded stem that vertically raises or lowers the inner slip tube. As the slip tube moves, it adjusts the elevation of the intake point—allowing operators to select which portion of the liquid column is discharged or retained.
This flexibility is especially useful in:
Decanting clarified water from settling tanks
Withdrawing surface water while leaving sediment undisturbed
Managing stormwater retention ponds
Controlling drawdown rates in water treatment processes
