Oak Brook, Ill. – In a move that strengthens American manufacturing and engineering, Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Company and ASC Engineered Solutions officially merged on Sept. 2, 2026 to become Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation (RSFC). The new entity unites more than 175 years of domestic innovation, quality craftsmanship and customer commitment under one brand.
One partner for the entire built world
RSFC offers an integrated portfolio that spans fire sprinklers, flexible connections, pipe‑joining systems, flow‑control valves, structural supports and a suite of digital design tools. By consolidating these product lines, the company promises engineers, contractors, distributors and owners a single accountable partner from connection through operation.
Strategic advantages for customers
- Comprehensive solutions: Customers can specify, order and install fire‑protection and flow‑control systems through a single source, reducing handoffs and simplifying project delivery.
- Digital engineering support: RSFC’s software tools turn specifications into installed systems, improving accuracy and speed on complex projects.
- Broad market reach: The company targets critical‑infrastructure sectors such as water management, commercial construction, healthcare, education, data centers and energy markets.
- Stable supply chain: With more than 50 U.S. sites and nine international facilities, RSFC can meet demand while maintaining full traceability of components.
Leadership perspective
“The built world is changing quickly. Projects are more complex, schedules are tighter, and the industry needs partners who can solve more than one piece of the system,” said G. Jason Hild, chief executive officer of Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation. “Our combined heritage gives us the scale, expertise and commitment to innovate around those challenges and define the next generation of safety and flow systems.”
Continuity for existing customers
All existing contracts remain in effect, and customers should see no interruption to product availability, technical support or sales relationships. Both reliablesprinkler.com and asc-es.com will stay live throughout the transition, ensuring a seamless experience.
Looking ahead
By aligning a century‑long fire‑protection legacy with ASC’s historic pipe‑joining expertise, RSFC positions itself to meet growing demand for resilient infrastructure. The unified portfolio is expected to reduce specification time, lower project costs and enhance overall system performance for a wide range of applications, from municipal water systems to high‑tech data centers.
