Gas Utility Castings

Non-Ferrous Sand Cast Components for Gas Distribution and Infrastructure Systems


Riverside Foundry produces non-ferrous sand castings used in gas distribution systems, valve assemblies, and infrastructure equipment across North America.

Cast Components Used in Gas Infrastructure

Gas distribution systems rely on durable metal components designed to operate safely under pressure and across varying operating conditions.

Equipment used in gas utility infrastructure must maintain dimensional consistency, structural reliability, and long service life over continuous operation.

Non-ferrous alloys are often specified in these environments for corrosion resistance and stable performance in infrastructure applications.

Riverside supports production programs supplying cast components used in gas distribution equipment and related mechanical systems.

Typical Components Produced for Gas Utility Systems

Components Used in Gas Infrastructure

Examples of cast components used in gas distribution equipment may include:

  • valve bodies
  • valve bonnets
  • regulator housings
  • gas meter housings
  • pump housings
  • mechanical housings
  • bushings and bearings
  • gear blanks
  • equipment covers and brackets

These components are typically integrated into assemblies used in gas distribution systems and industrial utility equipment.

Many of these parts are produced using copper-based brass and bronze alloys selected for corrosion resistance and long service life in infrastructure environments.

Alloys Commonly Used in Gas Utility Equipment

Gas infrastructure components often require alloys that maintain performance over long service periods and across varying environmental conditions.

Riverside produces copper-based brass and bronze alloys frequently specified for gas utility equipment.

Typical alloys may include:

  • C83600
  • C83300
  • C87200

Production Capabilities Supporting Gas Utility Castings

Gas system components often require repeatable production and dimensional consistency across long manufacturing runs.

Riverside supports these requirements through:

  • automated green sand molding for repeat production programs
  • airset molding when casting size or geometry exceeds matchplate limits
  • in-house tooling and patternmaking to support controlled production programs

These capabilities allow casting programs to maintain consistent quality while supporting long-term infrastructure supply chains.

Supporting Equipment Manufacturers and Infrastructure Suppliers

Riverside works with equipment manufacturers supplying components used in:

  • gas distribution systems
  • industrial gas infrastructure
  • pressure regulation systems
  • valve equipment
  • gas meter assemblies
  • mechanical equipment assemblies
  • And more…
