Reliance Worldwide Corporation (RWC), a market leader and manufacturer of water control systems and plumbing solutions for residential and commercial applications, was named NAHB’s 2021 Leading Suppliers Council Spark Award Runner-up.
As homeowners lean into smart-home technology, RWC’s StreamLabs Control is delivering on a crucial need: water and leak management. Thanks to its innovative technology, the leak detection device was honored as runner–up for the 2021 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Leading Suppliers Council (LSC) Spark Award.
As reported in Chubb’s 2017 Water Risk Survey, “[45%] of homeowners have or know someone who has experienced a water leak.” As an innovation-driven company, RWC saw an opportunity to help limit detrimental water damage with just a tap. Designed to track water usage, alert users of leaks and provide an automatic remote shut-off option, the StreamLabs Control, which installs directly into the main water line, connects to the complementary StreamLabs app to monitor the home’s water system 24/7.
It is the second product in RWC’s portfolio to be recognized by the LSC. The SharkBite EvoPEX push-to-connect system won the Spark Award in 2018.
According to the NAHB LSC Spark Award criteria, “winners are to demonstrate superior knowledge in developing cutting edge products and services, embrace a progressive outlook and exhibit a willingness to push the envelope when it comes to taking the home building industry to the next level.”
“We always seek new ways to innovate and create cutting edge products for customers,” said Jeff Long, RWC’s Product Manager Cash Acme & StreamLabs. “We’re extremely proud the StreamLabs Control has been recognized in such prestigious company. It is a great product, providing homeowners comfort and peace of mind that their homes are looked after.”

Reliance Worldwide Corporation (RWC) is a market leader and manufacturer of water control systems and plumbing solutions for residential and commercial applications.
For plumbing business owners, the importance of building a strong team that works together seamlessly and efficiently is paramount. The same holds true for RWC’s engineers when developing water heater solutions. All products must work in concert to perform and last.
That’s why RWC offers a complete water heater installation system designed to increase productivity and durability on the job. The products, ranging from fittings and valves to tank supports, work together so users can purchase the bulk of water heater installation materials from a single source. This ensures compatibility, efficiency and quality assurance.
RWC’s water heater products, which work together as a complete solution, include:
- SharkBite Flexible Water Heater Connectors – Created with SharkBite push-to-connect ends, the water heater connectors enable quick installation. Perfect for pipes in tight spaces that don’t line up when replacing a water heater, the connectors are available in corrugated and braided hoses.
- SharkBite Thermal Expansion Relief Valve – SharkBite Thermal Expansion Relief Valve eliminate the need for an expansion tank, shut-off valve and fitting. Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe, the valve protects hot water supply systems where high-pressure conditions are likely to occur as a result of thermal expansion.
- HoldRite Water Heater Quick Stand and Platform Accessories – HoldRite water heater accessories and equipment platforms are lab-tested and some of most recognized water heater bracing and support systems in the market. The platforms safely elevate water heaters above the floor, supporting up to 100 gallons while still meeting code requirements.

RWC uses strict quality control processes and sophisticated technology in each assembly unit, so by the time products hit shelves, they’re exceeding industry standards.
Water heaters are often installed in tight, confined spaces that can be difficult to access, including closets and basements. It’s important to have a complete range of solutions from one family of brands that provides the flexibility and continuity to complete almost any type of job, regardless of space.
Products can be found at plumbing wholesalers across the U.S. and Canada. For up-to-date product availability, users are encouraged to contact their local supplier.
