At A.Y. McDonald, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compliant products that meet the needs of our customers and the evolving industry standards. One topic that frequently arises is PFAS—what they are, why they matter, and how our products ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

For municipalities, water conservation and efficient resource management are crucial for both residential and commercial applications.

One small leak in a water system due to a faulty valve can cause wasted water, property damage, and expensive repairs.

Stray electrical currents can be present in water service lines and may cause issues in the metallic piping systems, including shock hazards for field personnel and accelerated corrosion of water distribution system components.

A.Y. McDonald’s newest innovation, called the TITAN™ Swing Connect Saddle, leaves conventional saddles in the dust. Unlike regular saddles with loose bolts that are easily lost or damaged, our TITAN™ Swing Connect Saddle is available with a TITAN™ bolt that comes pre-attached on a pivoting joint.

The corporation stop is the initial control valve of the service line as it is the first valve off of the main. The sole purpose is to allow for the installation of a new water service line without interrupting the water main pressure.

Standards provide people and organizations with a basis for mutual understanding and are used as tools to facilitate communication, measurement, commerce, and manufacturing.

Water works parts are responsible for providing a home/building access to the public water supply. The water service lateral itself includes any water service part, from the water main to the water meter. One of these solutions involves the service fitting.

Measuring and recording water usage with a meter is essential to the function of a water service lateral. These devices sit between the main supply line and the structure, measuring usage accurately.
