These businesses and those in between offer industry and the public many different options; add to this the online suppliers and choice is better than it’s ever been. What is worth considering is the knowledge and understanding valves and pipeline suppliers can impart to their customers.

Whether you buy online or over a trade counter these days, there is always a catalogue available; with part numbers to be given to the staff of input on a screen. The next paragraphs will explore the fact that to many of those taking your orders, the part number is as much as they know about the product you are buying.

Valves and Pipeline Suppliers Questions & Answers

For many years I visited a small plumbers merchant in Oldham run by an ex-plumber by the name of Derek. He typified how things were in the valve and pipeline industry in the past. Derek’s counter was littered with brochures from various plumbing factors and manufacturers; with information from pipe clips to bath taps and more. The fact is whatever the question was, especially concerning plumbing he could answer it. When the issue was outside his normal experience he had a network of supplier representatives he could contact. They would have the information required, something that improved greatly when mobile phones became the norm.

So, whether Derek had a plumber or a member of the public in front of him, that person would feel confident about what they were trying to achieve. Add to this his unique personality and friendly banter and you had the best in valves and pipeline suppliers. Sadly, the industry no longer possesses the required knowledge in abundance and worse, individuals like Derek are a rarity. This doesn’t just apply to the plumbing and heating merchants but right across the pipeline industry; merchants rely on catalogues.

So, when a customer stands in front of a trade counter and is greeted by a picker who can operate a PC, that person must know exactly what they need. If they don’t who do you ask, the individual pushing a catalogue under your nose wants you to tell them the part number or size and type of valve or fittings. What they don’t want you to do is say this is what I am trying to achieve, how can it be done.
