Quality & Sustainability

An Industry Leader For Over 70 Years

As a leading manufacturer of plumbing and heating valves, dahl has observed environmentally friendly practices for decades and remains committed to reducing environmental impact. We recycle brass, maintain green manufacturing processes, and make products that last for life—all significantly reducing waste.

Brass Recycling

Recycling brass scrap has a number of environmental benefits. It reduces the need to source new materials and helps conserve natural resources. In addition, recycling reduces the amount of energy needed to manufacture brass as extracting new materials consumes more energy than remelting scrap brass. 

100% of our brass scrap is returned to the mills to be recycled into brass rod, and we use 60-70% recycled materials.

Green Manufacturing Processes

We are careful to capture and recycle used cutting oil, minimizing oil disposal and reducing the carbon footprint of our plant. Recycled oil can be further processed for use in separate machines or used to help produce a variety of energy products. 

In addition, we recycle all boxes used during manufacturing and shipping, and have always used kraft paper to package our products, never styrofoam or plastic air pillows.

Locally Made and Guaranteed for Life

It’s common practice in the plumbing industry to source materials offshore. We take the opposite approach. All our mini-ball™ valve products are designed, engineered, and manufactured in our Canadian facilities and all raw materials are sourced from the United States or Canada. This gives us complete control over quality and delivery. 

Our valves are built to last a lifetime, not to be thrown in the trash every five years. We take pride in the quality of our products which are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty. To this day, we still sell repair parts for valves that launched 60 years ago, underscoring the premium quality of our products.

While keeping all stages of the manufacturing process in Canada and the United States has significant quality benefits, it also ensures we deliver our products on time and reduces emissions related to shipping. 

dahl is committed to maintaining and evolving our green manufacturing practices and will continue to be an industry leader in both quality and sustainability.
