Importance of Using CSA-Approved Gas Ball Valves
Comments Off on Importance of Using CSA-Approved Gas Ball ValvesGas ball valves can include various markings that identify certain testing and ensure quality. One of the most prominent markings is CSA or Canadian Standards Association. CSA is an organization that tests gas ball valves to ensure they meet US and Canadian standards, including NSF International (NSF), CSA Group (CSA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), American […]
Ball Valve
Comments Off on Ball ValveThe durability and versatility of ball valves make them an ideal solution for a range of industrial and commercial applications. Ball valves have a range of unique benefits. They function well even in challenging environments and can withstand exposure to high temperatures and pressures, as well as contaminated gas or liquid. RED-WHITE VALVE CORP. has […]
Hydronic Valve
Comments Off on Hydronic ValveHydronic HVAC systems for heating and cooling operate at peak performance only after achieving hydronic balance and temperature control. The best way to ensure this is through hydronic balancing – a process of optimizing the distribution of water in a building’s HVAC system by equalizing the system pressure using hydronic balancing valves. RED-WHITE VALVE CORP. […]
Use of Balancing Valves in Hydronic Systems
Comments Off on Use of Balancing Valves in Hydronic SystemsBalancing valves are throttling devices designed to regulate the fluid flow through hydronic components. In hydronic systems (HVAC systems that use water as a medium to heat and cool areas of the facility), they facilitate the distribution of heated or chilled water to all terminals. As a result, the system is able to achieve optimal […]
Globe Valves vs. Gate Valves
Comments Off on Globe Valves vs. Gate ValvesGate valves and globe valves both serve important roles in applications that require control of liquid and media passing through industrial systems. As the most common valves used in industrial plants, they are often used in the same applications and are very similar in appearance, but they have different functionalities. It is important to understand […]
How to Maintain a Gas Tankless Water Heater
Comments Off on How to Maintain a Gas Tankless Water HeaterGas tankless water heaters offer an energy-efficient and cost-effective way to get hot water on demand. However, these systems require proper maintenance to prevent premature component failure and ensure long service life. Generally, tankless water heaters should be serviced once a year; however, they may require more frequent maintenance if you have hard water or […]
Everything You Need to Know About Ball Valves
Comments Off on Everything You Need to Know About Ball ValvesBall valves are a type of shut-off valve designed to control the flow of a gas or liquid through the use of a pivoting ball that has a port through its center. When the ball is rotated 90°, the medium is either blocked or allowed to flow through, depending on the orientation of the port. […]
Different Materials for Strainer Valves
Comments Off on Different Materials for Strainer ValvesUnwanted debris like rust, scale, or other particles, mixed with oil, steam, water, gas, or air can clog or damage a system’s components, ultimately shortening the component’s life and damaging the equipment to which it was attached. Strainers are added at strategic locations in the system to protect essential and vulnerable equipment like flow meters, […]

Bronze vs. Brass Valves
Comments Off on Bronze vs. Brass ValvesBronze and brass have similar compositions, appearances, and applications. They are both widely used copper alloy materials for valves, but they have different properties and price points. We’ll discuss these properties in more detail here, as well as their specific applications and advantages. Bronze Valves Bronze valves date back to the Romans during the first […]
Automatic vs. Manual Balancing Valves: Benefits of a Hydronic System
Comments Off on Automatic vs. Manual Balancing Valves: Benefits of a Hydronic SystemHydronic HVAC systems use water to heat and cool facilities evenly. One of the essential components that aid in the even spread of temperatures are balancing valves. Balancing valves are throttling devices that help regulate the flow of water in hydronic components. Generally, there are two types of balancing valves, automatic and manual, each with […]
