Co. designs and manufactures our natural gas products to comply with several industry standards – ASME, ANSI, and ASTM. But as of May 1, 2015, we took this a step further by starting to mark A.Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. natural gas products with a new barcode that was developed in the new ASTM F-2897-14 standard. As a real game changer, A.Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. is one step ahead when it comes to our commitment to gas safety and accountability through the use of traceability tags! Thanks to traceability, city streets and backyards can be a whole lot safer. With innovation and organization at its core, the ASTM F-2897- 14 standard determines the information gas distribution products are marked with. In the event of an accident caused by a gas leak, gas utilities can access this information to locate other potentially faulty products. Through inspections and necessary replacements, we can prevent future accidents. New times, new technology Making accountability easy To make this standard of traceability convenient for you, A.Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. has made TRACE TAGS standard on each and every gas valve and meter bar we manufacture. These products come complete with a barcode detailing the type of material the product is made from; component details; and the date an A.Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. co-worker in Elizabethton, Tennessee, Albia or Dubuque, Iowa, machined, assembled, and tested the product. All gas valves and meter bars you purchase from A.Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. will include a TRACE TAG. Once the tag is scanned for installation, enjoy the peace of mind of being forward thinking. EVERY PART. COMPLETELY ACCOUNTED FOR.
