Standard Plumbing Supply

What Standard Plumbing Supply does

Standard Plumbing Supply is a family-owned wholesale plumbing distributor founded by Dale Reese in 1952 and headquartered in Sandy, Utah. The company operates more than 100 branch locations across nine Western U.S. states, including over 50 dedicated plumbing showrooms, and consolidates roughly 200,000 SKUs from more than 2,000 manufacturers into a single procurement relationship for professional contractors.

Its offering spans kitchen and bath fixtures, faucets, sinks, disposals, toilets, tubs and showers, vanities, residential and commercial water heaters (including tankless and heat-pump models), water treatment and softening systems, plumbing pipe, fittings, valves and drains, HVAC equipment and thermostats, and irrigation products through affiliated brands. The catalog is anchored by category-leading manufacturers including Rheem, Kohler, Rinnai, Moen, Delta, InSinkErator, RainBird, and Pfister.

The business model is B2B hardware distribution: products are sold at contractor pricing to licensed plumbers, HVAC contractors, water-treatment specialists, and sprinkler/landscape installers via in-branch counter sales, hands-on showrooms, and an e-commerce storefront with live inventory checking and account management. Approved credit accounts receive net 30 payment terms; cash customers buy at unit pricing. Headcount is 501–1,000 employees, and revenue is not disclosed. Affiliated brands — Standard Air, Sprinkler World, and Standard Appliance Gallery — extend the same contractor pricing and account terms into HVAC, irrigation, and appliances.

Direct peers

• Winsupply: Winsupply is a US wholesale distribution company focused on plumbing, HVAC, and industrial supplies, operating through a network of local branches serving professional contractors. It competes with Standard Plumbing in overlapping geographies and product categories, with a similar local-branch trade distribution model.
• Johnstone Supply: Johnstone Supply is a US cooperative wholesale distributor of HVAC and refrigeration products with hundreds of branches serving professional contractors. While more HVAC-focused than Standard Plumbing, it overlaps in the HVAC equipment, thermostat, and parts categories served through Standard Air.
• Ferguson Enterprises: Ferguson is the largest US wholesale distributor of plumbing, HVAC, waterworks, and related products, serving professional contractors through a national branch network. It is the most directly comparable peer to Standard Plumbing Supply in product mix, customer base, and B2B trade distribution model.
• Hajoca Corporation: Hajoca is a large, privately-held US wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, and cooling products with hundreds of locations across the US. It is a direct competitor to Standard Plumbing, operating a similar multi-brand, contractor-focused distribution model with a long operating history.

Broad incumbents

• Lowe's for Pros: Lowe's for Pros is Lowe's professional contractor program offering volume pricing, dedicated account management, and pro delivery. It competes with Standard Plumbing in plumbing, water heating, and HVAC categories, particularly with multi-state contractors and larger residential service firms.
• Reliance Worldwide Corporation: Reliance Worldwide manufactures and distributes plumbing and water management products (e.g., SharkBite, HoldRite) and sells them through distributors like Standard Plumbing. As an upstream supplier and global player, it competes indirectly by offering brands that compete for shelf space within Standard Plumbing's catalog.
• Home Depot Pro: Home Depot Pro is the trade-focused arm of The Home Depot serving professional contractors with bulk pricing, credit accounts, and pro-only SKUs. While much broader than Standard Plumbing, it competes directly for the same professional plumbing/HVAC contractor customer in overlapping Western US geographies.
• Ace Hardware (Commercial / Contractor): Ace Hardware operates a national cooperative of hardware stores with growing contractor and commercial customer programs offering plumbing, hardware, and related supplies. It competes with Standard Plumbing at the smaller-contractor and consumer-DIY end of the market, particularly in suburban Western US locations.

Regional players

• Reece Group: Reece Group is an Australia- and New Zealand-based plumbing, bathroom, and HVAC products distributor serving trade customers through a branch network. It is a strong analogue for Standard Plumbing's branch-led, trade-focused distribution model, though it does not directly compete in the US market.

Emerging players

• Amazon Business: Amazon Business serves professional contractors with broad plumbing, HVAC, and maintenance product selection, fast shipping, and business accounts. It is an emerging disintermediation threat to traditional branch-based distributors like Standard Plumbing, especially for standard SKUs and smaller contractors.
