For most construction projects in any industry, the professional arranging the purchase of materials and those that actually have to work with the materials and complete the job are not the same group of individuals.
In fact, the team in charge of ordering supplies and arranging for deliveries may not have a lot of interaction with the design team or the construction crew. They may be solely focused on keeping the costs down and trying to bring in the purchase of materials under budget.
However, this under budget pricing often leads to real problems with supply, with the quality of materials on the job and even in getting the right pipes, valves, and fittings (PVF). For these reasons, working with an experienced industrial PVF distributor is a must. It provides an experienced, professional sales staff that can direct the purchasing team to the right options for the job, avoiding all the unnecessary problems in placing bulk orders with general supply facilities.
Experience Matters
When the only thing the specific department does is handle industrial PVF sales, you can rest assured that their staff will ask the questions to ensure the order is correct.
These sales reps may also be able to make suggestions for superior options in a pipe, valves, and fittings that may end up saving in material cost, reducing installation time or in increasing the lifecycle of the component.
Not a Plumbing Supply Store
It may be common to think of all types of fittings as the same. Those industrial PVF products that are developed by reputable manufacturers are built for industrial use, and they are not the same as those installed in residential plumbing systems.
By working with a specialized PVF distributor, you can be assured that the components you choose are designed, manufactured and have a warranty for use in any industrial application and system.
