Following the invention of the World's First thermostatic steam control valve by our MD's grandfather, The Horne Engineering Company Ltd was founded in 1909. For the first time in history, temperature control of hot water steam boilers (calorifiers) became an automated process; regulating the temperature to 60°C to match demand for hot water.
This valve became known in the market as The Standard Valve and was sold predominantly into fever, work and poor houses of the time - the precursor to today's NHS. In the early 1920s, another World First came with Horne's invention of the hot water blender, which, using the same thermostatic technology, mixed hot water with cold water to deliver warm water at a safe and comfortable temperature.

We design and manufacture a wide range of thermostatic valves and ancillary fittings for temperature control applications. Our EA-1 steam control valve is often paired with the Horne Steam Injection Heater (SIH) to maintain stored water at a constant temperature. The SIH is an integral part in many industrial sized washing machines, and is also suitable for the rapid heating of storage water.
As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers, we promise that spare parts for all of our products will be kept in stock for a minimum of 10 years following discontinuation of a product component or full assembly. This is a guarantee of our quality control and offers peace of mind. Please visit the relevant product page to access spare part information for Horne steam products.
