Access to current equipment and component information can help mechanical contractors evaluate installation, maintenance and operating requirements during project planning and procurement. The Mechanical Contractors Association of America has added new product information from Jomar Valve and Carrier Corp. to its virtual trade show, expanding the resources available to contractors through the association's manufacturer and supplier network.
Jomar Valve's stainless steel ball valve lineup is among the products recently added to the platform. The stainless steel construction is intended for applications where resistance to corrosion is an important consideration, including commercial and industrial mechanical systems.
Carrier's EcoBlue technology is also featured. The system uses a beltless, direct-drive vane axial fan configuration on select rooftop models. The design is intended to reduce maintenance requirements while supporting equipment installation and operating efficiency.
The MCAA Virtual Trade Show connects mechanical contractors with manufacturers and suppliers participating in the association's Manufacturer/Supplier Council. Product pages within the platform provide access to information on equipment, product lines, services and technical solutions.
MCAA also maintains a separate collection of manufacturer and supplier training opportunities. The association's online resources include technical education and case studies focused on cost management and productivity for mechanical contractors.
For mechanical contractors, centralized access to manufacturer information can support equipment evaluation and product selection during estimating, preconstruction and installation planning. The addition of valve and rooftop HVAC technology also reflects the range of components contractors must evaluate for commercial and industrial mechanical work, where maintenance requirements, installation considerations and system performance can affect project delivery and lifecycle costs.
