As the own-brand range from Smith Brothers, CORE has been developed to provide contractors, installers, specifiers and merchants with reliable, high-quality products that deliver exceptional value. The CORE valve portfolio combines product performance, technical support and nationwide availability, helping customers source dependable valve solutions from a trusted UK HVAC merchant.
When specifying valves for heating, cooling, water, and HVAC systems, access to the right product for the application is essential. The CORE range of valves has been developed to give contractors, installers, specifiers and merchants a comprehensive choice of dependable valve solutions, combining product quality, application suitability and genuine value.
From everyday isolation and control through to more specialist pressure, protection and flow-management applications, CORE offers an extensive range designed to meet the demands of modern building services installations.
A valve for every application
The CORE valve portfolio covers many of the key functions required across heating, cooling and water systems. The range includes ball valves, check valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, pressure reducing valves, thermostatic mixing valves and other specialist products for isolation, regulation, pressure control, air venting, balancing and mixing.
This breadth means that CORE can provide solutions for both straightforward installations and more demanding applications, helping contractors and specifiers source compatible products from one trusted range.
For example, CORE ball valves are available in a variety of connection types, including screwed, compression and press-end configurations, with options including brass and DZR brass. For larger pipework systems, the CORE140 butterfly valve range provides a compact and versatile solution for both isolation and flow regulation.
Why Contractors Choose CORE from SBS
Choosing CORE means more than selecting a valve. It means benefiting from the expertise, availability and support offered by Smith Brothers Stores. With 23 branches nationwide, extensive stock holdings and technical documentation available online, SBS helps customers access the products and information they need quickly and efficiently.
CORE forms part of SBS’s wider commitment to providing high-quality own-brand products that offer dependable performance and excellent value across commercial heating, cooling and water applications.
Designed with application requirements in mind
Selecting a valve involves more than choosing the correct size. Temperature, pressure, connection type, operating conditions and flow requirements all need consideration.
This application-led approach gives installers and specifiers greater confidence that the selected valve is appropriate for the system rather than simply relying on a generic product description.
Technical information available 24/7
Access to technical information is increasingly important on today’s projects. Installers may need an installation guide on site, while a contractor or specifier may need to check dimensions, pressure ratings, approvals or operating conditions outside normal office hours.
CORE makes technical documentation available online 24/7 through the SBS website. The valve product range is supported by downloadable technical documents, including installation and operating manuals, giving users access to essential information whenever they need it.

Quality backed by recognised approvals
Approvals such as WRAS, KIWA Reg-4, and NSF are particularly important when valves are specified for regulated applications. They provide an additional level of assurance that the product has been assessed against the requirements relevant to its intended use.
At the same time, CORE’s product documentation clearly states application limitations and installation requirements, helping users understand where and how individual valves should be used.
Quality without compromising value
Like all SBS own-brand CORE products, CORE valves are developed with a focus on quality, reliability and value. By working closely with manufacturing partners and maintaining strict product standards, SBS aims to provide customers with dependable alternatives that deliver confidence alongside commercial value.
