Dresser Pipeline Solutions, a Dresser Utility Solutions company, and solutions provider for the Natural Gas Distribution and Transmission, Water/Wastewater and Industrial markets, has received its NSF61 and 372 approval from the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for its coupling and clamp products.
NSF International is an independent, not for profit, non-governmental organization, dedicated to being the leading global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions while serving the interests of all stakeholders.
NSF61/372 is an industry standard recognized in the U.S. and Canada for nearly all products installed in water services and a requirement to comply with current American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards. As part of the certification process, Dresser’s products were rigorously tested by NSF at its laboratory and required a considerable amount of support from Dresser’s Engineering, Sourcing and Quality teams to ensure Dresser’s compliance. Each year, Dresser will be audited to ensure continued compliance to the standard.
David Evans, president and CEO of Dresser Utility Solutions, commented, “This is a critical step in reestablishing our presence in the water market and allows us to bid on various projects that we were previously not eligible to supply.”
The applicable Dresser couplings include style 128, 131, 138, 167, 31, 38, 40, 62 and 63, and repair clamps style 60/160.
