Two Legacies. One Accountable Partner for the Built World. 

Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. and ASC Engineered Solutions Unite as Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation.

For generations, Reliable Automatic Sprinkler and ASC Engineered Solutions have earned the trust of the engineers, contractors, distributors, and owners; who design, build, and support the built world. On September 2, 2026, those two organizations begin a new chapter together. 

Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation (RSFC) launches as a unified company who brings together more than 175 years of American innovation, quality, and customer commitment, bringing together one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of integrated safety and flow systems. The launch reflects years of integration, strategic investment, and a shared vision to support the future needs of the built world. 

A Unified Heritage | Built for Those Who Build™ 

Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation offers a comprehensive range of integrated fire protection, mechanical, and engineered flow solutions, delivering tested performance from connection through operation. Built on an American-made foundation and supported by a global supply chain, the company provides product categories including fire sprinklers, devices & flexible connections, pipe joining, flow control & valves, fittings, and structural support solutions, along with digital design and planning tools, that help engineers, contractors, distributors, and owners design, specify, integrate, and maintain critical infrastructure with one accountable partner. 

Why Now 

The markets our customers serve continue to evolve. Critical infrastructure investments are accelerating and becoming more technically complex. Engineers and contractors increasingly seek partners capable of delivering integrated systems rather than individual products. At the same time, owners and distributors expect greater accountability, stronger technical support, dependable supply, and digital resources that streamline every phase of a project. With trade labor under sustained pressure, customers are also rewarding partners whose products reduce installation labor — grooved and press connections that install faster than welded, prefabricated assemblies that move work off the jobsite, and digital tools that cut engineering hours upstream.

Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation is built for this moment. 

“The built world is changing quickly. Projects are more complex, schedules are tighter, and the built world need partners who can solve more than one piece of the system. Reliable Safety & Flow brings together two strong companies with the scale, expertise, and commitment to innovate around those challenges. We are building on more than 175 years of experience to help define what comes next for safety and flow systems.”— G. Jason Hild, Chief Executive Officer, Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation 

Reliable by name. Reliable by design™ 

Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation exists under one name and one promise, the company operates by four commitments: 

  • Reliable Products — Engineered, tested, and proven for demanding applications. 
  • Reliable Supply — Dependable availability, full traceability, and sourcing strategies that help keep projects on schedule. 
  • Reliable People — A skilled workforce, deep technical expertise, multi-generational partnerships, and customer-focused operations.
  • Reliable Systems — Integrated safety and flow solutions that simplify specification, installation, and performance throughout the building lifecycle. 

Continuity for Customers 

For existing customers of Reliable Automatic Sprinkler and ASC Engineered Solutions, existing contracts remain in effect according to their terms, and customers should expect no interruption to their current products, specifications, technical support, and sales relationships. 

“Our customers are being asked to do more – execute faster, manage greater complexity, and deliver with confidence. Reliable Safety & Flow brings together the products, technical expertise, supply, and support to help them do that. From specification to the jobsite, we can supply more of the system with one team and one point of accountability – making it easier for our customers to work with us and keep their projects moving.”— Allison Nicolaidis, Chief Revenue Officer, Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation 

No customer action is required. Both reliablesprinkler.com and asc-es.com remain live, along with their customer login, through the full transition. Find more details by visiting: reliablesfc.com/whats-new/, and customers with questions can reach their existing sales specialist, Rep Partner, or technical support contact with questions. 

Looking Forward

The unified brand creates a comprehensive platform across safety and flow systems: sprinklers, flow control, pipe joining systems, hangers and supports, connected by the Digital Performance Solutions that turn specifications into installed systems. Under one accountable name, that platform simplifies the customer experience, accelerates cross-portfolio specification, and consolidates investment behind one master brand. The company expects to continue investing in its capabilities and portfolio to serve customers. 

Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation enters the market with a unified platform designed to support long-term growth across critical infrastructure, commercial construction, water infrastructure, energy, healthcare, education, transportation, advanced manufacturing, and digital infrastructure. 

“Fire protection is core to our heritage and will remain at the core of who we are. For more than a century, customers have trusted our quality, service, and innovation of the sprinklers, devices, and system components that the fire industry depends on. As Reliable Safety & Flow, innovation, expertise, and customer commitment, carries forward, now part of a broader platform. For the contractors and engineers who build life-safety systems every day, the standard they count on does not change. We remain true to our commitment as a leader in fire protection, providing the cutting-edge product development technology to meet the ever-evolving demands and challenges in the construction world.” — John McNamara, President Fire Protection & International Markets 

By aligning two respected organizations under one brand, the company strengthens its ability to invest in innovation, expand technical capabilities, support customers more effectively, and continue delivering the integrated safety and flow systems the built world depends on.

For more than 175 years, the companies that now form Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation have built their reputation on a single principle: the built world depends on systems that perform dependably, every time.

From the earliest innovations in pipe joining and flow management in 1850 to the fire protection systems trusted since 1920, our heritage has been defined by engineering strength, American-made quality, and an enduring commitment to the markets we serve.

Today, that heritage comes together as one company. The formation of Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation is more than a name change—it brings our businesses together under one company, one strategy, and a shared focus on growth. By uniting Reliable Automatic Sprinkler and ASC Engineered Solutions, we are creating a comprehensive platform for the safety and flow systems that protect and move the built world.

Our purpose is to own the sustainability, performance, and resilience of those systems—protecting lives, enabling communities to thrive, and shaping the future others follow.

The opportunity ahead is significant. We serve large and growing markets where demand for safer, more resilient, and more connected infrastructure continues to accelerate. Across digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, water, and energy, long-term market trends—including a widening skilled-labor shortage—are increasing the need for integrated systems and solutions that reduce labor, complexity, and risk in the field.

Against that demand, we bring one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of safety and flow systems. And these system possess an American-made foundation supported by a global supply chain, customer relationships measured in decades, and the technical depth to be specified as the standard rather than simply supplied as a product. Today, we serve more than 3,500 customers through 50 operations and distribution centers across the United States and around the world.

Our path to creating long-term value is clear:

  1. Grow our core businesses by strengthening our position in specifications and expanding relationships with contractors and engineers;
  2. Cross-sell across a unified portfolio;
  3. Continue to shift toward higher-value, connected systems; and
  4. Invest in products and technologies where we can create differentiated value.

Our increased scale also now allows us to better leverage our manufacturing, supply, and distribution network and allocate capital where it can drive sustainable, profitable growth.

Ultimately, our results will come down to disciplined execution. We will continue to invest in the people, products, technologies, and capabilities that strengthen our customer relationships, improve performance, and position Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation for long-term growth.

We build from a position of strength, led by an experienced team focused on long-term performance. Bringing our businesses together gives us greater focus, scale, and financial strength to pursue what comes next.

Our name is new. The expertise behind it is not.

That expertise was earned over generations. Today, we bring it together as one accountable partner—built to help protect lives, keep communities running, and lead where safety and flow go next.

That is the company we are creating: the partner the built world depends on.
