60 years old…60 years strong!





In June of 2014 RuB proudly celebrated 60 years of business.  The roots of the business actually date back seven Bonomi generations to the 19th century, while the creation of the current business entity “Rubinetterie utensilerie Bonomi” occurred in 1954 when Mr. Silvio Bonomi and Mr. Oreste Bonomi started their own company. At that time they already knew how to produce quality parts as they began their careers at the young ages of 13 and 12, due to the untimely death of their father in 1946, just after World War II.

Later Silvio was joined by his two sons Luciano and Sandro in the family business.  Together they have achieved many milestones including the development of subsidiaries RuB Inc. in the United States and RuB KK in Japan. These two entities assist in the distribution of RuB’s quality, 100% Italian made, brass ball valves and OEM products.

Nowadays RuB is working each day to meet new and ever changing market requirements, to exceed customer expectations, and to develop safer and smarter solutions for customer needs.  Our heartfelt thanks during this time of celebration are addressed to our valued customers for their loyalty, to our suppliers for their continued cooperation to our subsidiaries for their strong partnership, and to all our passionate employees who strive for excellence on a daily basis.

The work we do today will lays the foundation for our next 60 years...  Thank you Silvio for being our cornerstone and thank you to all contributors for your role in our past and future history!

NEW: BRASS BALL VALVES SERIES S.81-92



RuB is glad to introduce a new series: s.81-92 with pre-arranged connection to manometer and special safety exhaust.
This series has two special additions:
- The manometer will be installed directly at valve end cap to detect fluid pressure; no extra connection coupler will be needed, thus  eliminating a point of possible leakage;
- The valve is moreover equipped with a downstream exhaust designed so as to allow just a partial loosening, sufficient to permit depressurization at the gauge in a safe manner.

The s.81-92 is currently available in ½” in two configurations: F/F and M/F with a female G1/4” thread where the gauge shall fit.


Please contact your RuB Area Manager for additional information.

CONFLICT MINERALS

Some of you may have heard of a so called ‘Conflict Minerals Declaration’. What are these conflict minerals and to which extent is a declaration necessary?
The term ‘Conflict Minerals’ refers to raw materials that come from a particular part of the world where conflict (war) is occurring.
In 2010, President Obama signed the ‘Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act’ into law. Section 1502 of that act addresses the international trade and use of ‘Conflict Minerals’ defined as columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (from which tantalum is derived); cassiterite (tin); gold; wolframite (tungsten); or their derivatives; or any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
Section 1502 instructs the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in consultation with the U.S. Department of State, to promulgate regulations requiring certain companies to submit annually a description of measures taken to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals (for additional info please visit this page)
RuB rejects any war and conflict and supports fair trade;  compliance with Dodd-Frank-Regulation is fulfilled , the Conflict Minerals declaration can be downloaded from here.

RIGHT AND LEFT LEVER

Installers know it very well: sometimes it’s very difficult to find the right ball valve to install, not only for fluid or pressure involved, but also ‘simply’ as there is not enough space! 
In some cases, the use of a T-handle is the solution, having very small overall dimensions; but where the T-handle is not well accepted, then the left lever could be the right support: the ‘left lever’ is a slightly different lever allowing the ball valves to be opened towards the left instead of the ‘usual’ right side.



The left lever is used for example most  successfully on special irrigation or spraying pumps or on manifolds with two or more ball valves.

Do contact your RuB Area Manager for more information about left lever availability!
