Milwaukee Valve Company

Milwaukee Valve Company, Inc., d/b/a Hammond Valve Company ("Hammond") is a Wisconsin corporation with its principal place of business in New Berlin, Wisconsin.

Hammond is in the business of manufacturing and selling valves which are used in many commercial and domestic applications, including valves that are used in HVAC systems for multi-family housing buildings.

According to allegations in a filed lawsuit, Defendant Milwaukee Valve Company, Inc. allegedly designed and/or manufactured the valves improperly such that a product which should have a service life of 60 years or more is cracking and breaking after only months of service.

The complaint alleges that the reason for these failures is shoddy design and manufacturing, which incorporate insufficient metal and reinforcement in the valves.

Since each valve delivers highly pressurized hot and cold water, a rupture can cause substantial damage to property and serious personal injury.

The valve in question is the Hammond "8911" one-half inch brass ball valve.
