## Streamline Your Projects with Factory-Mounted Piping Packages

Managing mechanical or HVAC piping installations seems like a complex process, but it doesn’t need to be. [Factory-mounted piping packages](https://blog.priceindustries.com/what-is-a-vav-box-piping-package) from Price offer a streamlined solution that saves time, reduces on-site labor and ensures consistent quality – directly from the factory floor.

| A terminal unit installed in the ceiling of an office; the piping package mounted on the unit strains the coil fluid, regulates fluid for thermal comfort and regulates pressure throughout the system |

These piping-package assemblies feature valves supplied by either IMI or Nexus, providing flexibility in design, performance and cost. Whether you’re handling a commercial HVAC project or an industrial process application, there’s a solution that’s built to meet your needs.

### What’s Included in the Package

Designed with both performance and flexibility in mind, piping packages include the following key components:

- **Line Sizes**: Lines sizes of 0.5-, 0.75- and 1-inch are available to suit a range of system capacities.
- **Balancing Valves**: Balancing valves allow precise flow control by setting design-day fluid flow rates through the water coil. We offer two types of balancing valves: [automatic and manual](https://blog.priceindustries.com/what-are-manual-and-automatic-balancing-valves).
- **Temperature Control Valves (TCVs)**: TCVs have three different control options: on/off, modulating and floating point. TCVs modulate fluid flow to maintain thermal comfort based on a signal from a [thermostat](https://blog.priceindustries.com/what-is-a-7-day-programmable-thermostat) or building automation system. These valves are mounted in the factory, or a copper placeholder can be provided for field-installed TCVs.
- **Combination Y-Strainer Valve**: This valve helps strain the fluid to remove sediment and includes a union, isolation valve, air vents and P/T ports.
- **End Connections**: We offer sweat, male NPT and flex-hose end connections.

Each assembly is engineered for [efficient field installation](https://blog.priceindustries.com/smacna-highlight-factory-mounted-piping-packages), with every component tested and inspected to ensure optimal performance.

### Why Factory Mounting Matters

Compared to field-installed options, factory-mounted piping packages offer significant advantages:

- **Cost Effectiveness**: Factory-mounted piping packages reduce installation time, saving an average of one to two hours of field labor per unit.
- **Flexible Configuration Options**:Piping packages are designed to adapt to your project, not the other way around. With the choice of two trusted manufacturers and multiple TCV mounting options, every package is tailored to your specific system design, performance standards and installation preferences**.**
- **Factory-Tested Precision**:Every piping package is quality- and pressure-tested in our factory to ensure leak-free performance. We also verify correct handing (left/right configurations) based on your project requirements, eliminating costly rework or on-site adjustments.
