Valves and the choice of valve types, sizes and options in these components is essential to any job. Choosing the best possible valve for the application is essential for a system that is durable, low-maintenance and that offers the control required.
With a variety of different valves on the market, working with valve distributors that are approved by the manufacturers is a crucial component. This is very different than buying valves online or through general supply vendors with no relationship with the manufacturers.
Expertise and Support
One of the key factors in working with valve distributors rather than buying from outlets online or through general supply stores is the expertise factor. When you need to verify a specific valve is the best option for a given application, a company that is able to match a valve type, size and options with the technical specifications of the job is a true benefit.
Often these distributors work with multiple valve manufacturers, which allows the supplier to offer different models or designs in ball, gate, check, butterfly or globe valves to meet the specific demands for the given area of use.
Specialized Valves as Needed
General contractor supply outlets will offer standard valves and sizes in inventory. Special orders for unique valves or for custom order types of valves are often costly and may require a long lead time to manufacturer the valve.
Working with approved valve distributors will address these issues. These companies, with their connection to the manufacturer, will be able to create special orders or even require custom valves with a much faster turnaround time.
Often, these distributors are able to find valves already available that will meet your requirements. Not only will this save time, but it can also be instrumental in keeping the costs of these components within the project budget.
