CARROLLTON, Texas – November 5, 2020 – EGW Utilities, Inc. has acquired Buy Wholesale Company, LLC (BWC) of Montgomery, Texas. BWC was founded by Karl Knapp in 1985. He and his wife, Tracy, operated it until its acquisition on October 30, 2020. The procurement of BWC greatly increases EGW’s waterworks and plumbing product offerings. This allows customers to benefit from a wider variety of items shipping from a single location to minimize freight expenses and maximize the flexibility of their inventory.
Throughout its existence, BWC has been an exceptional source of quality products with outstanding customer service. “The Knapps have built a company that we are very proud to make part of the EGW Water & Plumbing Group. BWC’s reputation for quality products and customer service is something we’re excited to carry forward and share with even more wholesale distributors across the nation in the near future,” says Phil Wiegers, EGW’s Founder and CEO.
EGW plans to relocate BWC’s inventory, equipment, and other assets from their existing facility in Montgomery, Texas, to EGW’s warehouse in Carrollton, Texas by the end of 2020. The Knapps will work with EGW for the next several months to aid in the transition, and BWC will continue to operate in its current location until the move is complete.
The changes brought forth through the acquisition will prove advantageous to the customers of both BWC and EGW. One thing that won’t change is the exceptional service and quick turnaround that EGW Water & Plumbing customers have grown accustomed to over the years!
If you have any questions, please contact EGW at 972-446-1655 or through sales@egwsusa.com.
About EGW Water & Plumbing: EGW Utilities, Inc., is a privately-held distributor of waterworks and plumbing products to wholesale supply houses across the United States through the company’s Water & Plumbing Group. The company is headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, and was founded in 2001.
At EGW Water & Plumbing, we are committed to providing you with the best equipment for residential, commercial and industrial natural gas systems, including natural gas pressure regulators. With more than 40 years of proven market experience, the BelGAS division of Marsh Bellofram is a global leader in the design and manufacture of both high and low pressure regulator products. All products are renowned for their high-quality, accuracy and dependability within critical applications.
Among the natural gas pressure regulators we offer at EGW are:
The P143 Full Size Residential Natural Gas Regulator
The compact Type P143 pressure regulator is ideal for natural gas, air, propane and general purpose gas pressure regulation. Uses include commercial, residential and light industrial for burners and unit heaters. The P143 has an internal relief device and is available in the low pressure cut off (LPCO) version. It can also be used as an LP regulator.
The P140 Compact Residential Natural Gas Regulator
The Type P140 pressure regulator is also great for natural gas, air, propane and general purpose gas pressure regulation. Available with or without internal relief, the P140 is ideal for use with residential and light industrial heaters and industrial burners, and as a reliable means of supplying gas to furnaces, burners, light industrial heaters and other appliances. No seat-to-seat adjustment is required. The P140 is possesses versatility and accuracy in a compact design.
The P200 Medium Commercial Natural Gas Regulator
The BelGAS P200 gas pressure regulator is a manual, direct acting, self-operating, spring loaded adjustable regulator, used in applications where pressure reduction is required. Its robust construction, including an internal relief valve, allows the regulator to reduce the risk of “shock” from abrupt changes of downstream conditions. This can help prevent safety equipment from prematurely shutting an operation down, resulting in unwanted and costly downtime.
Available in both relieving and non-relieving versions, P200 pressure regulators allow for high-accuracy regulation of pressures ranging from 2” of water column up to 10 psig, making them ideal for use in applications where wide variations in pressure reduction are also required. The BelGAS Type P200 is offered with choice of ductile cast iron or WCB steel body, both with a lightweight aluminum bonnet.
With available port sizes of 1.25 NPT to 2 NPT, and orifice sizes from ¼” to 1-3/16”, BelGAS Type P200 units may also be used as cost-effective drop-in replacements for competitive units, as they occupy an identical footprint to other industry models. They are designed to reliably operate over a temperature range of -40˚F to +200˚F (-40˚C to +93˚C), and are also available in a variety of spring range pressures and colors.
The P300 Small Commercial Natural Gas Regulator
The P300 Gas Pressure Regulator from BelGAS is another manual, direct acting, self-operating, spring-loaded adjustable pressure regulator. The P300 series is used in applications where pressure reduction is required. This regulator also reduces the risk of “shock” from abrupt changes of downstream conditions and helps prevent safety equipment from shutting an operation down. Useful applications include compressors, gas engines and service regulators.

EGW is extremely proud to have been named a 2019 Certified Best Workplace by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute! Through proactive planning and hard work, we strive to create a workplace culture that promotes integrity, authenticity and selflessness. This was achieved through listening to our employees and enacting programs to improve, not just their work lives, but their everyday lives in general.
We started our journey to becoming a Certified Best Workplace in 2018 with an anonymous survey that all employees completed. Questions were wide ranging, from benefits satisfaction to management processes, with the main goal of getting honest feedback about all aspects of their jobs. Once responses were received, we reviewed our strengths and weaknesses and didn’t shy away from tackling the issues that were put forward. Those included improving benefits, having more social events to bring employees together during and outside of work, and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard when it comes to improving work processes. Listening to your employees is just one step. Nothing will improve if not acted upon!
After implementing changes throughout the year, the survey was sent out again to measure our progress. We were excited to see that the advancements brought upon by the original survey created such a positive shift in culture. And we’re not done! Our commitment is to keep listening to our employees and continuing to improve based on their feedback. A healthy workplace culture leads to a greater focus on our companies’ mission, core values and customers. With everyone working with the right attitude towards the same goal, we’ll continue to build towards further success!
