Singer

What Singer does

Singer Valve, founded in the mid-1960s by Ernst Singer and today operating as a brand under Mueller Water Products, Inc., designs and manufactures automatic hydraulic control valves for the global water industry. Its product portfolio spans main control valves (106, 206, 306 series in full-port and reduced-port configurations), pressure reducing valves (PR, PR-SM, PR-C, PR-R, PR-S, PR-SC, 2PR-630), pressure relief/sustaining/surge valves (RPS family), pump control valves, level control valves, flow control valves, and a growing line of electronic-control valves for remote SCADA-style operation. Underlying the portfolio are several proprietary technologies: rolling diaphragm actuators for valves 12 inches and larger, the SRD (Steady Regulating Device) for low-flow stability, anti-cavitation trim for high-pressure-drop applications, and the PGM-series dual-diaphragm back-up system with annunciation capability for sensitive or hard-to-access installations. Supporting components include pressure and float pilots, strainers, and tubing accessories.

Singer serves three primary end markets: municipal water utilities (pressure management, water-loss reduction, distribution balancing), fire protection (UL, ULc, FM-listed deluge and pressure-reducing valves for sprinkler and suppression systems), and building trades (high-rise water distribution and fire-protection valve stations). All products carry a broad regulatory certification stack — UL, ULc, FM, NSF, Intertek, CULus, IC, TUV — and the portfolio is positioned as Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act compliant across iron/steel, manufactured products, and construction materials categories, qualifying the valves for federally funded U.S. water infrastructure projects including lead-pipe replacement. Manufacturing is centered at the corporate office in Kimball, Tennessee (2048 Industrial Blvd), with regional reach through a wholly owned China subsidiary (Singer Valve China) and documented project deployments in Saudi Arabia, Canada, Alaska, and Malaysia.

The business model is quote-based B2B hardware sales executed through a global authorized representative network (with no direct-to-end-customer sales). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are generated via the website's Request a Quote workflow or through field reps. Revenue is generated from sales of standardized valve models, custom-configured valves, electronic pilots, accessories, and replacement parts. Marketing is technical-content-driven, anchored by an engineer-focused Sizing Calculator tool, technical documentation, training seminars, and case-study-driven demand generation targeting municipal engineers, fire-protection specifiers, and building trades contractors. The company is a brand within Mueller Water Products' diversified water-infrastructure portfolio (which also includes Mueller, Pratt, U.S. Pipe, Jones, Krausz, and others), with Henry Pratt Company, LLC managing Singer Valve operations.

• Val-Matic Valve: Val-Matic produces air-release, check, and control valves specifically for the waterworks and wastewater market. Direct peer to Singer on municipal pressure-management and surge-control applications, with overlapping specifier relationships.
• Kennedy Valve: Kennedy Valve (a McWane company) manufactures AWWA-spec waterworks valves including gate, check, and specialty control valves. Direct peer in municipal water distribution with overlapping utility and engineering specifier relationships.
• American AVK: American AVK manufactures AWWA-specification ductile-iron waterworks valves (gate, butterfly, check, control). Direct municipal waterworks peer to Singer on distribution and transmission applications.
• Aquestia (Dorot): Aquestia (parent of Dorot) specializes in automatic control valves, pressure management and smart-water solutions for municipal networks. Direct overlap with Singer on PRVs and electronic pilot-driven pressure optimization for NRW reduction.
• Clow Valve: Clow Valve (a McWane company) is a long-established waterworks valve manufacturer serving U.S. municipal utilities. Overlaps with Singer in the same spec-driven water distribution channel, particularly for hydrant and distribution-system projects.

Broad incumbents

• Watts Water Technologies: Watts is a broad incumbent in water products, offering valves, backflow preventers, and water-quality systems. It competes with Singer via its KRAMER control-valve line and through broader municipal and plumbing distribution, but serves many more end markets than Singer.
• ITT Engineered Valves: ITT's Engineered Valves group (including Fabri-Valve, Pure-Flo) supplies heavy-duty control and quarter-turn valves for power, chemical and water infrastructure. Broader incumbent than Singer but competes on process and pressure-management valves in industrial water.
