Access to updated plumbing products can help mechanical contractors evaluate specifications for commercial, residential and industrial projects. The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) highlighted new offerings from Sloan and Jomar Valve in an Oct. 13 update to its online virtual trade show.
The platform connects MCAA contractor members with manufacturer and supplier members, providing access to product information, services and technical resources relevant to mechanical construction.
Sloan has expanded its fixture finish options with brushed brass products. The finish uses physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, which is intended to improve resistance to fading and maintain the fixture's appearance over time.
The additional finish gives architects and project teams another option when selecting restroom fixtures for commercial buildings. For mechanical contractors, finish availability can be a consideration during product selection and coordination with architectural specifications.
Jomar Valve is featuring its range of bronze products for plumbing and other building systems. The products are intended for use in commercial, residential and industrial environments where durability is an important consideration.
The MCAA platform provides contractors with a way to review the manufacturer's product offerings and access additional information for potential project applications. The announcement did not identify specific models, pricing, project installations or procurement timelines.
Manufacturer product updates can support early-stage specification reviews, equipment selection and coordination among contractors, architects and project owners. Finish options may influence architectural requirements, while material selection can affect compatibility with the intended system and operating conditions.
MCAA also directs members to its Smart Solutions case studies and manufacturer-supplier training resources. These offerings provide additional avenues for contractors to review productivity-related applications and technical training opportunities.
The Oct. 13 update focuses on product information rather than a construction contract, facility expansion or project award. Its relevance to the mechanical construction sector lies in connecting contractors with supplier resources that can inform product evaluation and project planning
