Appliance control knobs — precision turned brass components

Industry

Appliance Control

Gates Albert’s precision machining capabilities are well suited for the production of appliance control products that require consistent quality, tight dimensional control, and dependable performance in high-volume applications. Using Davenport Model B multi-spindle screw machines and other precision machining processes, we efficiently produce complex small parts with the repeatability and process stability these critical components demand.

Many of the components manufactured on Davenport equipment are integrated directly into everyday household and commercial appliances. Examples include temperature control components used in ovens and ranges, gas flow regulators for furnaces and water heaters, burner orifice fittings for stoves and grills, pressure control fittings for HVAC systems, valve components for refrigeration equipment, and precision fasteners used in dishwashers and laundry appliances.

We regularly manufacture appliance control parts including collar screws, gas orifices, plug adjusters, thermal valves, orifice pins, pressure regulators, and fittings. These components are commonly produced from a range of materials selected for strength, corrosion resistance, thermal performance, and long-term durability in appliance environments, including:

Brass and copper alloys are frequently used for gas control and thermal transfer applications, while stainless steels and aluminum alloys provide corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in high-temperature or moisture-prone environments.

These materials are carefully selected to ensure optimal performance in appliance applications where durability, temperature resistance, pressure control, and corrosion protection are essential for long-term functionality and safe operation.
