Manufacturers announced another round of PHCP-PVF price increases in June, with adjustments affecting insulation, valves, fittings, pumps, water heating products, and specialty plumbing components. See which suppliers raised prices and when the changes take effect.

The annual competition highlights the industry's top technicians while inspiring future generations to pursue careers in HVAC. 

Founded in 1976 by Wilson E. Bradley and William E. Kahlert, the company began as a small refrigeration focused business at 3120 Frederick Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland, with a team of five employees and a single product line of evaporative condensers. This year, the company is celebrating 50 years of experience in evaporative cooling and heat transfer.

Plumbing and PVF manufacturers announced another round of price adjustments in May, with most increases falling in the low- to mid-single-digit range, while select product categories, including press fittings, grooved products, valves, PVC fittings, and specialty piping systems, saw larger increases.

Unlike traditional high efficiency models, the Voltex 120V HPWH is designed to plug into a standard electrical outlet–eliminating the need for adaptors or restructuring.

Located at 900 Kennedy Boulevard, the 44,000-square-foot facility will serve plumbing, heating, HVAC/R, and other professionals seeking a convenient source for systems, tools, equipment, parts, and accessories.
