Your Source for Quality BelGAS Pressure Regulators

BelGAS pressure regulators

BelGAS pressure regulators

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 Receives 2019 Best Workplace Certification!

Best Workplace certification

 

Best Workplace certification 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!

Cathodic Protection – Polywrap and Coatings

An extensive network of ductile cast iron pipe systems used in the water utility industry are present throughout the world. These pipelines are installed both offshore and onshore, and in both cases are subject to the deteriorating effects of corrosion. If left unchecked, these pipelines can suffer damage that is both expensive and dangerous. At EGW Water & Plumbing, we offer a wide range of polywrap and coating products for water pipelines that aid in providing cathodic protection and deterring corrosion.

In order to diminish corrosive attacks, cathodic protection can be applied to either coated or uncoated pipes, above or below ground. Factors that affect the application of these methods include soil resistivity, required current, and the area requiring protection.

Polywrap

EGW Water & Plumbing provides multiple options of utility grade plain or printed polywrap in various colors, ranging from 1 to 108 inches in width, 8 millimeters in thickness, and conform to AWWA specifications. These products are used by water utilities to help with cathodic protection for ductile cast iron pipe and protect against corrosion. They are made in the USA and consist of linear low density virgin polyethylene.

We also offer polywrap tape, available in 2 and 4 inch widths. They consist of plasticized and stabilized PVC film coated with a non-corrosive pressure sensitive adhesive. The ideal application of this tape is for wrapping elbows, valves, and fittings.

Pipeline Coatings

Coatings provide another weapon in the fight against corrosion and in aiding cathodic protection, and at EGW, we are a source of quality coating options from Denso, including Densyl Tape, Denso Paste, and Denso Profiling Mastic.

Densyl tape delivers long term corrosion resistance to valves, flanges, pipes, and other related surfaces. Denso paste can be used as an effective primer before the application of Denso petrolatum tapes. Denso profiling mastic creates a smooth profile on more complex shaped fittings such as valves and flanged joints. Denso is a leader in the field when it comes to corrosion prevention and sealing technology.

New and Improved White Rhino Boxes

New and Improved White Rhino Boxes

EGW Water & Plumbing is pleased to announce an improvement in our packaging of flange packs and MJ kits. Some of our customers have told us that our signature White Rhino boxes were not holding up adequately during shipping and in the field. Based on this feedback we are rolling out changes to our boxes and master cartons to dramatically improve their quality and durability. The new brown boxes will be printed with the White Rhino logo and made with paper that has been sourced using standards outlined in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

These new boxes are made by hard working Americans in box plants, corrugators and paper mills here in the United States. By comparison, our former packaging was foreign produced and was made from 100% recycled materials which is not consistent and the fibers lose their strength and lack durability. Contrary to popular opinion, 100% recycled boxes are not always the best for our environment when you take into account the amount of energy for transportation of materials and the energy and material losses incurred during reclamation.

We hope you will find these new 200-275 pound White Rhino boxes not only up to your quality standards but also those of your customers. We take your input seriously and hope you will agree that this change is consistent with our mission of consistently exceeding your expectations by providing superior customer service and quality products with the highest levels of integrity.
