A supplier recently mentioned how he’d put a generic toner into his Canon branded fax machine and consequently broke it – unfortunately, that is the risk you take when you use non genuine parts and it can prove costly.

The same applies when sourcing spare parts for McDonald Engineer Hot Water Cylinders. We strongly recommend using only genuine McDonald Engineers replacement parts for our hot water cylinders to ensure that your system continues to operate efficiently.

As part of our ongoing commitment to customer service we carry an extensive stock of spare parts ready for immediate despatch.

Pembleton Enthusiasts tap into McDonald Engineers Copper Capabilities

McDonald Engineers has demonstrated its expertise in bespoke copper products by manufacturing a 500mm spun cylinder top for fitting to a Pembleton car.

Whilst more renowned for the fabrication of high quality copper hot water cylinders, it is not unusual for the company to be asked to create copper products and components for purposes other than plumbing.

Past requests have included, copper washers, slug rings to keep slugs and snails away from garden plants, off cuts for jewellery making and copper plates for artwork etchings. But spun cylinders for a Pembleton car has to be one of the quirkier request so far.

And, instead of this being a one off request, McDonald Engineers has just received its second order… but this time all the way from the USA.

McDonald Engineers’ Sales Director, Jamie Stewart, commented “Our experience and expertise in copper manufacturing, particularly with bespoke products, enables us to take on unusual requests, such as the cylinder for the Pembleton car and deliver them cost effectively.”

Copper Washers for Council Contract

McDonald Engineers were recently approached by a merchant who had a bit of unusual request - ‘Can you supply copper washers for a council who needs them for a particular contract they are working on?’

Copper Washers

Copper Washers

As you may be aware, copper washers are often used in piping, electronics and biomedical applications as they are a great conductor of heat and when very pure, a good conductor of electricity.  Copper is also quite a malleable material which means that when a copper washer is crushed between two surfaces, it can fill any imperfection.

As specialist copper manufacturers, we of course rose to the challenge and delivered the project on time and to everyone’s satisfaction. “We were delighted to fulfil the council’s requirements and demonstrate that we can apply the same quality of workmanship and flexibility to such unusual requests as we do to our range of hot water cylinders” commented Sales Director Jamie Stewart.

He continued, “In an industry where every second counts, it is imperative that our products are turned around quickly. Many installers and specifiers don’t realise just how quickly we can make copper cylinders for them with most orders despatched within two to three days. We also stock over 90 different sizes of cylinders for immediate availability.”

So, the next time you need some copper washers, or indeed require any product manufactured from copper, contact our technical sales team on 01592 611123 who will be only too happy to help.
