Red-White Valve Product Guide — Complete Catalog Overview
Red-White Valve Corp. covers the valves a commercial plumbing or mechanical job actually calls for: ball valves, balancing valves, check and gate valves, butterfly valves, tankless kits, strainers, unions, and hydronic components. This guide walks the product families, the series numbering, and where each fits on the job.
Who Red-White Valve Corp. Is
Red-White Valve Corp. is a U.S.-based valve manufacturer headquartered in Lake Forest, California, serving plumbing, HVAC, and industrial distributors across North America. The brand is built around dezincification-resistant (DZR) and lead-free brass valve bodies, with bronze, iron, stainless steel, and PP-R polymer options where the application calls for them. Most lead-free series carry NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certification, with series-dependent listings that include AB1953, MSS SP-110, MSS SP-80, MSS SP-139, CSA, UL, and IAPMO. For contractors, the practical meaning is simple: a code-compliant valve at a supply-house price.
The Red-White Product Families

What the Series Numbers Mean
Red-White series numbers map to product families. The 50xx numbers are ball valves: 5044AB is the DZR lead-free threaded workhorse, 5020AB is the EzPress press-fit version, 5015AB is PEX. The 2xxx numbers are gate, globe, and check valves. 9xxx numbers are hydronic and balancing products: 9517 fixed-orifice balancing, 9907 pressure-independent control, 9960AB thermostatic. The 34xx numbers are tankless water heater kits. The AB suffix marks the lead-free certified line; series without AB are standard brass or specialty materials. Every PVFPro product page carries the exact specifications for its series, pulled from the factory spec sheet.
