At A.Y. McDonald, we take pride in manufacturing natural gas products that fuel homes, businesses, and industries across the nation.

An inline ball valve can be utilized on a natural gas meter set as a riser/meter valve positioned pre-regulator. This valve is used to shut off the flow of gas to the riser for maintenance of any kind and must conform to ASME B16.33.

Natural gas has achieved a remarkable milestone in power generation, setting a new record during a recent major heatwave that impacted much of the United States.

When dealing with natural gas, safety is always a top concern. The purpose of the natural gas meter set is to provide a home or building access to this resource in a safe and efficient manner. The meter set includes many parts, such as natural gas valves and meter bars.

Valves are very important devices that control and direct the flow of fluid or gas by opening and closing various passageways. In the natural gas distribution industry, gas valves are specifically used to control the gas flow within a structure and are considered the primary shut off for meter service.

Many people in North America rely on natural gas to cook, clean, and heat their home. As a staple to our everyday life, the natural gas meter set helps distribute this resource to the structure. The meter set is made of many parts but, when it comes to servicing the meter itself, the meter bar plays a crucial role.

In general, a coating is defined as a thin layer or covering. In the natural gas industry, the application of coatings on the parts that make up the natural gas meter set is an efficient way of reducing the effects of corrosion on the material.

In general, bypass technology applies to gas parts that allow maintenance and service of any kind without interrupting gas flow for the consumer.

The natural gas meter set includes many parts that work together to safely deliver and measure natural gas to a structure. This can include the meter, valves, fittings, a meter bar or valve, a regulator, and the accessories that complete the set. Natural gas meter sets bring safety, convenience, and consistency to any application.

Valves are very important devices that control and direct the flow of liquids and gases by opening and closing various passageways. While there are many valve designs, the ball valve is the most popular member of the quarter-turn valve family.
