Phil Tyree
Technical Services Manager
McWane Plumbing Technical Services

I began with M&H and Kennedy Valve (McWane companies) in 2000.  This was municipal, water treatment and wastewater-based business regarding fire hydrants, gate valves, butterfly valves and check valves.
 2008 a new opportunity presented itself with Anvil International (previously known as the Grinnell Company).  This was my introduction to mechanical piping systems providing information for grooved piping as well as pipe hangers and supports.
 2022 opened a new chapter in this industry with McWane Plumbing Technical Services.  Supporting the engineering efforts with cast iron soil pipe and fittings.  In addition to Tyler Pipe and AB&I Pipe I also work with Tyler Coupling and Anaco-Husky couplings.
 Married, father of 2 (both teenagers!) and reside in New Smyrna Bch.
