             SPX SELLS MUNICIPAL WATER AND MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER
                               VALVE BUSINESS

     CHARLOTTE, NC - December 31, 2004 - SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today
announced that it has completed the sale of its municipal water and
municipal wastewater valve business to St. Cloud, Minnesota-based Granite
Equity Partners and its affiliates for $29.75 million. The water valve and
related business has annual estimated revenues of $60 million.

     Don Canterna, President of SPX Process Equipment said, "Completing the
sale of this business allows us to reallocate our resources to the growth
opportunities in our key served markets. This is a good business, however
our growth strategy for our valve business is focused on those global
markets where our Copes-Vulcan, Febco, Daniel Valve, DeZurik and Mueller
Steam Specialty brands are well-recognized and have opportunities to
expand."

     In May 2004, the company committed to a plan to divest this business.
Based on the probable sale, the results of operations were reported as
discontinued operations in the second quarter. This business, based in
Sartell, Minnesota, was previously part of the company's Flow Technology
segment.
