What Is Red-White Valve Corp.?

Red-White Valve Corp. is a U.S.-based valve manufacturer headquartered in Lake Forest, California, serving the plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping markets. The line is built around dezincification-resistant (DZR) and lead-free brass valve bodies, with bronze, stainless steel, cast iron, and PP-R polymer options where the application demands them. Most series carry NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 lead-free certification, and depending on the series you will also find AB1953 listings, MSS SP-110 compliance, ASME B1.20.1 NPT threading, CSA certification to ANSI Z21.15, UL listings, and IAPMO marks. For contractors, the practical translation is simple: Red-White gives you a dependable, code-compliant valve at a supply-house price, which is exactly why it is a staple brand on commercial and mechanical jobs across North America.

How to Choose the Right Red-White Valve

Start with the connection. Threaded FNPT for pipe unions and threaded systems; EzPress for copper press installations; PEX F1960 or F1807 for PEX tubing; sweat ends for soldered copper.
Match the material to the water chemistry. DZR brass resists dezincification in aggressive water; standard lead-free brass handles most potable service; cast iron and ductile iron suit larger flanged systems.
Check the rating against your system. Threaded brass ball valves run 150# WSP / 600# WOG; gate valves 125# WSP / 200# WOG; verify pressure class on every series before specifying.
For hydronic balancing, pick the control style. Fixed-orifice valves with memory stop for manual set-and-lock balancing; PICVs where load changes; thermostatic models where temperature governs flow.

Technical Standards Across the Red-White Line

Body materials: DZR lead-free brass (ASTM B927 C27453) and lead-free brass (ASTM B927 C27450) on the premium and AB series; bronze (ASTM B283 C37700) on steam and radiator valves; cast iron (ASTM A126-B) on flanged ball valves; ductile iron (ASTM A536) on automatic balancing valves; PP-RCT polymer on the plastic piping series.
Threads: NPT threading to ASME B1.20.1 across threaded series.
Certification coverage (series dependent): NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, AB1953, MSS SP-110, CSA ANSI Z21.15, UL listings, and IAPMO marks.
Pressure classes: Threaded brass ball valves typically 150# WSP / 600# WOG; brass gate valves 125# WSP / 200# WOG; PEX ball valves 300 psi working pressure. Always confirm the rating block on the individual product page.

DZR brass in one sentence: dezincification-resistant alloy is formulated so the zinc in the brass cannot leach out in aggressive or chlorinated water. In areas with hard or corrosive water, that is the difference between a valve body that lasts decades and one that crumbles at the threads in a few years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Red-White valves lead-free certified? The AB and low-lead series carry NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certification, meeting federal and state lead-free requirements for potable water. Check the certification block on each product page for the exact listings on that series.
What does DZR brass mean? Dezincification-resistant brass is alloyed to resist corrosion in aggressive water where standard brass can lose zinc and fail. It is the body material on Red-White premium ball valves and press valves.
Does Red-White make press-fit valves? Yes. EzPress series cover copper press systems, and there are PEX and PP-R options for plastic piping systems.
