Reliable Safety & Flow Corporation (RSFC), formed by the unification of Reliable Automatic Sprinkler (1920) and ASC Engineered Solutions (Anvil 1850), launched today as the partner that delivers connected safety and flow systems for the people who design, build, operate, and protect the built world. The new company brings together more than 175 years of American innovation, quality and customer commitment. Backed by the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio from connection through operation, full supply traceability, and the digital tools, technical expertise, and accountable partnership, we uphold what matters most and enable customers’ growth.

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 proven system performance from connection through operation. Built on trusted technology, and strengthened by strategic domestic and global sourcing, the unified 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 together, help engineers, contractors, distributors, and owners design, specify, integrate and maintain critical infrastructure with one accountable partner.  

“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

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. No customer action is required. Both reliablesprinkler.com and asc-es.com will remain live through the full transition.  

Strategic Highlights

  • digital engineering.
  • Simplifies specification and project delivery through one accountable partner.
  • Positions the company to support growing demand across critical infrastructure, water management, commercial construction, healthcare, education, data centers and energy markets.

Together Reliable Sprinkler's century-long fire protection expertise and ASC’s founded heritage in pipe joining and flow management are now aligned as one brand with expanded technical depth and a connected system approach. This unified portfolio simplifies specification, reduces handoffs, and strengthens project delivery across water infrastructure, flow control, pipe joining systems, hanger and support systems, natural gas delivery, fire protection, seismic solutions, and digital performance solutions.
