HoldRite

What HoldRite does

HoldRite manufactures engineered plumbing and mechanical support systems for commercial and residential construction, organized across five product categories: pipe supports and mounting brackets (including acoustic isolation, PEX, CPVC, copper, DWV, plenum, and overhead supports); firestop systems (HydroFlame Pro Series UL Listed telescoping sleeves plus sealants, wraps, collars, and putty pads); DWV plumbing solutions (TestRite reusable testing system and #117 Series no-hub fitting restraints); water heater accessories (Quick Stand platforms, Quick Shed enclosures, Quick Strap brackets, Quick Belt seismic restraints, and Quick Flex connectors); and appliance and fixture outlet boxes. The company's proprietary technology base includes patented telescoping firestop sleeve designs, a copper-bonded steel bracket process, and ISO-3822-certified acoustic isolators, with sub-brands such as Silencer, PEXRite, Flame Fighter, Stout Bracket, and LockRite extending the portfolio. HoldRite operates manufacturing facilities in Cullman, Alabama and Apodaca, Mexico, with distribution centers in Mesquite, Texas; North Las Vegas, Nevada; and Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.

HoldRite sells exclusively through wholesale distributors and building supply channels rather than direct to end users, targeting professional plumbing contractors, mechanical contractors, and specifiers in commercial, multi-family residential, healthcare, institutional, hospitality, retail, and educational construction. The company supplements its hardware sales with engineering services (engineering judgement and specification authorship), technical documentation (submittal packs, BIM/CAD files, spec sheets), and a firestop submittal generator tool — services intended to drive specification-stage adoption and lock-in. HoldRite has been a brand under Reliance Worldwide Corporation (ASX: RWC) since 2017, sitting alongside sister brands SharkBite, Cash Acme, John Guest, EZ-FLO, and Eastman. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Poway, California, the company has 101–250 employees and reports hundreds of millions of products installed across North American construction projects over four decades.
