For construction products or retrofit suppliers and components on any job, companies have a host of different types of suppliers to use. There are general construction suppliers, who offer a range of materials for all types of projects, but may not have a lot of specific materials needed for specialized types of applications.
There are specialized suppliers that only work within one or two industries. These companies are a great option if you are not working outside of their niche area. While they may carry the parts you need, including valves and fittings, they have limited knowledge of your industry.
There are also industrial ball valve suppliers that are a combination of the two of these types of supplies. They offer valves to selected industries, but the number of industries they sell into tends to much larger and broader. This means they have the experience and expertise to answer questions and to assist in the selection of the ideal ball valve for the job.
Know Their Products
There are a small number of ball valve suppliers who are approved distributors for the major valve manufacturers. This is an ideal option for any construction company as it allows the comparison of what top brands have to offer.
As different ball valves are suited for a range of types of applications, including the type of media through the system, the temperature range, pressure range, and even the flow rate through the system, having this ability to have recommendations from ball valve suppliers is an advantage.
In some cases, the distributor may recommend a ball valve not currently in stock. Through their relationship with the manufacturer, they can quickly get this ball valve in or have it shipped directly to the job site, saving you time and money while providing the right valve for the specific application.
