Smith and Stevenson

Smith and Stevenson We are a manufacturers representative serving the plumbing & lighting industry in North and South Carolina. Lee had been representing Oatey Co.

With 60+ years experience representing the top manufacturers in our industry, we have grown to be the premier rep agency for our Manufacturers. In 1963, Lee Smith and Don Stevenson joined forces to form Smith & Stevenson Co., Manufacturers Representatives. to the plumbing industry since 1951 and had just begun representing Delta Faucet, a new player in the faucet business at that time. Don had rep

resented several copper tubing manufacturers and had just been named the representative for Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. Our relationship with these three original manufacturers continues today. Additionally, our representation in plumbing has grown to include other market-leading manufacturers. In early 2024, we merged with Parker Brothers & Associates. This merger added premier lighting manufacturers to the list of lines that Smith & Stevenson represents. Today, the company is under the leadership of Bo Beard and Clay Tingler, marking the third generation of ownership. We are proud of our team of 40+ employees operating across North and South Carolina, dedicated to serving the plumbing and lighting trade channels. In plumbing, we have eight full-line outside salespeople, two showroom specialists, two builder specialists, two engineering specialists, and one A/D specialist. In lighting we have multiple specialists who call on lighting showrooms, electrical distributors, and contractors. Our offices and main warehouse are still located in Charlotte, NC.

Utility pumps, compressors and generators run at 70 to 90 decibels, and a full shift next to that equipment is how workers lose their hearing.

That range is the sound of a running lawnmower or a passing truck. The danger is duration. Noise-induced hearing loss develops from cumulative exposure at those levels, hour after hour, shift after shift. OSHA's noise standard (29 CFR 1910.95) requires employers to act at an 8-hour average of 85 decibels and sets 90 decibels as the permissible exposure ceiling. Once equipment pushes past those thresholds, engineering controls are the first thing OSHA expects an employer to try.

An insulated enclosure is one of those controls. A well-designed panel system contains much of the sound before it reaches anyone standing nearby. The same panels hold in heat for better energy performance and help a facility stay inside local noise ordinances. One specification addresses three problems at once: worker safety, energy cost and compliance.

Placement flexes to the site. Industrial enclosures mount on skids or rooftops, which makes them a fit for manufacturing plants, commercial properties and power stations where crews face constant equipment noise and winter freeze risk together.

If you run outdoor pump or compressor equipment, are you treating noise as an engineering control problem, or leaving it to earplugs and hoping the dosimeter readings hold?

Here's guidance on the type of insulated panel you need: https://hubs.ly/Q04rcKdM0
