Natural gas has played a vital role throughout history, serving as a key ingredient in the production of everyday products like paints, fertilizers, plastics, and medicines, as well as a fuel for vehicles and a reliable energy source for homes and businesses.

At A.Y. McDonald, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compliant products that meet the needs of our customers and the evolving industry standards. One topic that frequently arises is PFAS—what they are, why they matter, and how our products ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

When it comes to safely and efficiently delivering natural gas or propane to homes and businesses, risers play a crucial role in the connection between underground piping systems and above-ground meters or appliances.

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.
