Industries We Serve.
A Full-Service Brass and Bronze Foundry in the Western United States
Excal supplies brass and bronze sand castings to industries where the components we produce are part of systems people depend on every day — water infrastructure, industrial production, and demanding field environments.
Valves & Pumps
Excal produces valve bodies, pump housings, impellers, and flow control components in brass and bronze alloys for industrial fluid handling applications. Backed by extensive experience in impeller casting, our alloy range and casting weight capability — 1 to 2,000 lbs. — supports everything from small precision valve components to large pump housings.
- Valve bodies, pump housings, and impellers
- Flow control and fluid handling components
- Broad alloy range for corrosion and pressure service
Water Metering
Excal’s brass and bronze sand casting capabilities support metering equipment that requires pressure-containing bodies, repeatable dimensions, and machinable connection features. Cast copper alloys are commonly used for water-meter bodies, valve bodies, covers, and related flow-control components. Alloy selection should reflect the service medium, pressure requirements, and applicable specifications.
- Water-meter bodies and valve housings
- Covers, connection bodies, and flow-control castings
- Alloy selection for pressure and fluid-service requirements
Marine
Excal’s bronze alloy range includes grades used for marine hardware and seawater-service components. Depending on the application, cast bronze parts may include valve bodies, pump components, propeller hubs, covers, and other marine hardware. Material selection must consider seawater exposure, flow conditions, mechanical loading, wear, and compatibility with adjoining metals.
- Valve bodies, pump parts, and propeller hubs
- Covers, fittings, and marine hardware
- Bronze grades selected for seawater-service conditions
Irrigation & Water Systems
Excal supplies brass and bronze castings for irrigation system components across agricultural and municipal water applications — where reliable performance, water compatibility, and production volume consistency are the key requirements.
MINING
Mining applications demand castings that hold up under high wear, impact, and corrosive conditions. Excal’s brass and bronze capability supports a range of mining equipment components where material toughness and production reliability are non-negotiable.
Electrical
Excal’s brass and bronze casting capabilities can support electrical equipment components where conductivity, mechanical strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance must be balanced. Typical cast applications may include equipment housings, connector or terminal hardware, switchgear components, and mounting parts. The selected alloy should match the electrical, thermal, and structural requirements of the finished component.
- Equipment housings and switchgear hardware
- Connector, terminal, and mounting components
- Alloy selection balancing conductivity and strength
Fire Protection
Brass and bronze castings are widely used in fire-protection water systems for valves, fittings, and other pressure-containing components. Excal’s sand casting capabilities can support parts such as valve bodies, hydrant components, hose connections, and pump-related castings. Alloy selection should be based on pressure rating, water service, mechanical requirements, and the applicable product standard.
- Valve bodies and pressure-containing fittings
- Hydrant and hose-connection hardware
- Material selection for water service and pressure requirements
Lighting
Excal’s brass and bronze sand casting capabilities can support lighting components where appearance, durability, machinability, and corrosion resistance are important. Common cast applications include fixture bodies, bases, housings, covers, and mounting hardware for architectural, landscape, and industrial lighting. Alloy and finish selection should reflect the installation environment and the required visual appearance.
- Fixture bodies, bases, and covers
- Architectural and landscape lighting housings
- Cast forms suited to machining and decorative finishes
Water Treatment
Excal’s brass and bronze casting capabilities can support equipment used in water treatment, filtration, and distribution systems. Applicable cast components may include valve bodies, pump housings, impellers, fittings, and other flow-control parts. Because water chemistry and operating conditions vary, the alloy must be selected for the specific fluid, pressure, temperature, corrosion, and regulatory requirements of the application.
- Valve bodies, impellers, and flow-control castings
- Pump housings and filtration-system components
- Alloy selection based on water chemistry and operating conditions
