Albion building upon the success of stainless steel fittings
![](/images//2111.photo.2.jpg)
Albion Valves (UK) Ltd, the supplier of valves to the industrial and building services markets, was one of the first companies in the UK to introduce a range of stainless steel fittings compliant with the ISO 4144 Standard, which specifies the pressure, temperature ratings and dimensions of this product group.
Four years after introducing the line, Albion’s sales team is reporting that stainless steel fittings are increasingly growing in popularity and becoming one of the best-selling product ranges.
Albion comments that, historically, there had been a huge diversity on quality and pricing for this product sector, often resulting in products being specified that were either unfit for purpose, non-compliant or overpriced for particular applications. As such, the company fully supports the industry standard and the focus it brings to quality in this sector.
Safety and reliability
Les Littlewood, Albion Valves Ltd’s sales director, commented: “It is encouraging to see the growth in this product range and that distributors are prioritising compliancy when specifying for their installations. At Albion we endeavor to stock a high-performance range of products that are safe, reliable and excellent quality.
“We aim to provide our customers with complete confidence and peace of mind, by supplying products that both increase productivity and minimise waste and errors. As such, we welcome the ISO Standard and continue to encourage our distributors to benefit from the enhanced quality controls in this sector.”
Albion’s range of stainless steel fittings features a wide variety of different products available in sizes from 1/8” to 4” offering customers an extensive choice, as well as the optimum balance of quality, performance and price.
Albion currently stocks around 5000 lines of industrial products, suitable for applications predominantly within the process, water and HVAC industries.
