What Red-White Valve Corp does

Red-White Valve Corp is a manufacturer of valves and hydronic coil kits serving the plumbing, commercial, industrial, and HVAC markets across North America.

The company's business model is exclusively indirect: it sells through a network of 30+ stocking and non-stocking wholesale distributors operating throughout North America, with warehouses positioned to support industry-leading fill rates. Named major distribution partners include HD Supply, Hajoca, WinSupply, F.W.

End-market applications include water flow control, shut-off, pressure regulation, backflow prevention, and hydronic balancing in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
