Albion Valves (UK) Limited launches EasyFlow and EasyFlow Pro: a combination valve assembly for modern multi-occupancy buildings

When addressing pressure management in modern plumbing systems, especially in large-scale and high-rise buildings, Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) play a critical role. Find out more in this article by Albion Valves, featured in BIMCRUNCH Spring 2026.

Albion Valves (UK) Ltd are delighted to announce that they have released their Embodied Carbon Lifetime Assessment (LCA) for their whole range of Cast Iron and Ductile Iron Valves as well as Brass, DZR Brass and Bronze Valves.

In this technical paper submitted to the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), David Rhodes, Technical Manager of Albion Valves, explores the challenges facing the designers of water distribution systems throughout high-rise buildings, made even more important as the numbers of these buildings increase.

David Rhodes, Technical Manager of Albion Valves, explains the urgent need to design for water and energy efficiency – and highlights pressure reducing valves (PRVs) as part of a cost-effective technology to save these critical resources.

Albion Valves are delighted to introduce another new product to the market – the EasyLink! Perfect for direct mounting to terminal units, this H-Block has a fitted compact PICV with a flow range from 0.008l/s to 0.369l/s. This unit is available with or without a strainer, and has either a left or right-handed configuration. Albion’s 0-10V modulating actuator (ART C23E) can also be added to the PICV for proportional control.

The closure of public buildings has been a method used worldwide to reduce the spread of COVID-19, however, the prolonged closure of buildings may have unexpected implications for some.

Valves are an often-overlooked part of a building services system. But in recent years, valve technology has advanced in response to challenges faced by engineers and installers. Darren Baxter explains.

As high-rise buildings are becoming a more prevalent sight on UK horizons, it is important to recognise the additional challenges that engineers face as buildings get taller.
