Today kicks off World Water Week — and this year's theme says everything:

"Water for People and Progress."

Approximately 2.2 billion people globally still lack access to safely managed drinking water. That's not a statistic from a century ago. That's right now.

At McGuire, we think about water every single day. Not as a commodity — as a responsibility. Every stop valve, every check valve, every strainer, every connection we build exists to do one thing — protect the water that people depend on.

Here in the U.S., we're fortunate to have the infrastructure, the codes, and the products that keep water safe. But that infrastructure only works when every component in the system — from the treatment plant to the fixture — performs reliably. That's where manufacturers, engineers, contractors, and plumbers come in.

That's where McGuire comes in.

Water for people starts with products built for the people who protect it. ☘️💧

Count on McGuire.

McGuire is proud that our products were specified for the brand-new Norton Elementary School right here in Cheshire, Connecticut — our hometown.

This $76 million, 96,000-square-foot school is being built to serve 661 students with state-of-the-art learning spaces, a nature-inspired "Woods and Trails" design, and a commitment to sustainability that includes a hybrid geothermal heating and cooling system with infrastructure for future solar panels.

Designed by Architects and built by &G Industries, this project represents something bigger than a building. It's an investment in the next generation of learners, thinkers, and builders growing up right here in our community.

When we say McGuire products are built for the life of the building — this is what we mean. A school where kids will learn, grow, and thrive for decades. And behind those walls, McGuire plumbing products are doing what they do best — performing reliably, protecting water quality, and making sure the systems these kids depend on every day just work.

It's an honor to be part of this project. And it's personal — because this is home.

Ask a commercial plumber why they choose McGuire's ADA ProWrap™ and you'll hear two answers: installation speed and cost savings.

Everything needed to protect exposed piping under an ADA-compliant lavatory arrives in one kit, fully pre-assembled. No hunting for components. No mismatched parts. No second trip.

For engineers, it's a clean, code-compliant spec. For contractors, it's labor savings on every fixture. For building owners, it's ADA compliance that looks finished — because it is.

Since 1952, McGuire has manufactured the products that move water from place to place in commercial buildings. ProWrap™ is how we protect the people who use them.

Getting a great product to the customer on time is just as important as building it right.

McGuire was honored to receive a customer award from our shipping partner Express Lines — and it means a lot because it reflects something we care deeply about: the relationships behind the supply chain.

We don't just hand off a box and hope for the best. We work closely with partners like Estes to make sure the products our customers order arrive when and where they need them. That kind of reliability doesn't happen by accident — it happens because both sides show up and get it right.

Thank you to the entire Estes team for this recognition — and for being a partner we can count on every day. 🙌

The cheapest valve is not always the best valve.

Great read in this month — "Getting Valve Selection Right in Commercial Buildings" — and it reinforces something McGuire Manufacturing has been saying since 1952.

The article makes it clear: the biggest mistake in valve selection is focusing on upfront cost instead of lifecycle performance. As the experts put it, reliability, corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and service life have a far greater impact on total cost of ownership than the purchase price.

At McGuire, that's not news. It's how we build.

☘️ Solid brass — for superior wall thickness, tighter tolerances, and long-term durability
☘️ Quarter-turn stop valves — reliable shutoff in a single 90-degree turn when seconds count
☘️ AB100 Compliant: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q < 0.5 µg certified — because meeting the minimum isn't the same as exceeding the standard
☘️ ICV Defender — integral check valve protection at the point of use, installed like a standard stop valve
☘️ EPDM/peroxide-cured washers — resistant to chlorine, chloramines, and high heat

The article also makes a critical point — valves shouldn't be treated as standalone products. They're part of a larger piping system, and they need to perform as part of that system for the life of the building.

That's why McGuire offers complete fixture trim packages — stop valves, supply lines, P-traps, strainers, and drains — all engineered to work together. One manufacturer. One standard. One promise.

The right valve doesn't cost more. The wrong one does.

Ever hear a loud BANG in the pipes when a faucet shuts off? That's water hammer — and it's more than just noise.

Water hammer occurs when water flowing through a pipe is suddenly stopped or redirected. The resulting shockwave creates a pressure spike that can reach several hundred PSI — enough to damage pipes, loosen joints, and compromise fittings over time.

In commercial buildings with high-volume fixtures and fast-closing valves, water hammer isn't just annoying. It's a threat to the entire plumbing system.

The first line of defense? Quality valves and connections that are built to withstand pressure fluctuations.

McGuire's stop valves and supply connections are machined from solid brass, delivering the wall thickness and structural integrity needed to handle the demands of high-pressure commercial systems.

✅ Solid brass
✅ Built to withstand pressure fluctuations
✅ AB100 Compliant: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q < 0.5 µg
✅ Designed for high-demand commercial applications

The bang is the warning. The damage is what comes next. Build with products that can take it.

August is National Water Quality Month — and for McGuire, water quality isn't just a cause. It's our entire reason for being.

Every product we build exists for one purpose — to protect the water that flows through the buildings where people live, work, heal, and learn.

Clean water requires infrastructure and the plumbing professionals who install and maintain those systems every single day.

Here's what's at stake:

🔹 A single backflow event can contaminate an entire building's potable water supply

🔹 A failed stop valve can lead to uncontrolled water flow and costly damage

🔹 A corroded strainer or fitting can introduce contaminants into the water people drink

That's why every McGuire product is engineered with water quality in mind:

☘️ ICV Defender — integral check valve protection against cross-connection contamination at the point of use

☘️ Lead-free solid brass construction — meeting and exceeding Safe Drinking Water Act requirements

☘️ Stainless steel strainers — Type 304 and 316 for superior corrosion resistance

☘️ Certified products — ASME, UPC & CSA tested and verified

Water quality starts at the source. But it's protected at the fixture. That's where McGuire lives.

This month and every month — we're committed to building products that protect the water people trust.

That curved pipe under every sink isn't just plumbing — it's your building's first defense against sewer gas.

A P-trap holds a small amount of water — called a water seal — that creates a barrier between the living space and the sewer system. Without it, toxic gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide would flow right back through the drain and into the room.

Simple concept. Critical function.

But here's what most people don't realize — if a P-trap is poorly constructed, corrodes, or loses its seal, that barrier disappears. And in a commercial building with hundreds of fixtures, one failed trap can create a health hazard and a code violation.

McGuire's P-traps are built with heavy-gauge construction and a full 2-inch water seal — engineered for the demands of commercial and institutional applications where failure isn't an option.

✅ Heavy-gauge construction
✅ 2-inch water seal
✅ ASME and CSA approved
✅ Available in multiple configurations

The trap is only as good as the material it's made from. Make it McGuire. ☘️

This week we recognize 36 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990.

The ADA changed how we build — and how we think about who we're building for.

In plumbing, ADA compliance means every detail matters. The clearance under a lavatory. The offset of a drain. These aren't small things — they're the difference between a space that's accessible and one that isn't.

McGuire is proud to offer products designed specifically for ADA-compliant installations:

✅ Lavatory Drain and Sink Strainers-ProDrain® WC — maximizes under-sink clearance

✅ ADA supply kits — engineered for proper reach and access

Accessibility is built into the spec. McGuire makes sure it's built into the product.
