Industries We Serve

From plumbing contractors and heating professionals to hospitals, schools, and government agencies — Metropolitan Pipe has been the trusted supply partner for New England’s most critical industries for over 90 years.

Plumbing & Mechanical Contractors

Metropolitan Pipe is the go-to supplier for plumbing and mechanical contractors across New England. Whether you are a one-person shop or a 200-person mechanical firm, we stock the commercial plumbing fixtures, pipe, fittings, valves, and specialty items you need — with same-day availability and next-day delivery from three distribution centers.

Our counter teams know the trade inside and out. We help you spec the right product, source hard-to-find parts, and get you back on the job fast. From residential service calls to large-scale commercial rough-ins, Metropolitan Pipe has your back.

Heating & HVAC Contractors

Metropolitan Pipe stocks a complete line of heating products — boilers, water heaters, circulators, baseboard, unit heaters, controls, steam specialties, and more — from top manufacturers like Weil-McLain, Lochinvar, Navien, Taco, and Grundfos.

We support heating contractors on everything from boiler replacements in triple-deckers to complex hydronic systems in commercial buildings. Our team can help with product selection, technical specs, and manufacturer training.

Institutional

Metropolitan Pipe is a trusted supplier to institutional facilities throughout New England, including:

  • Hospitals & healthcare systems — critical plumbing and medical gas piping, backflow prevention, water treatment
  • Schools & universities — K-12 districts, community colleges, and major universities rely on us for campus-wide plumbing, heating, and maintenance supplies
  • Housing authorities — public housing maintenance and renovation projects across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island
  • Long-term care facilities — nursing homes, assisted living, and rehabilitation centers

Institutional buyers benefit from our Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program, EDI integration, and custom reporting — designed to simplify procurement and reduce administrative overhead.

From ground-up new construction to tenant fit-outs and renovations, Metropolitan Pipe supplies general contractors and mechanical subcontractors on commercial and residential projects of all sizes. Our inventory of over 36,000 stocked products means you can source virtually everything from a single supplier — reducing vendors, simplifying logistics, and keeping your project on schedule.

We support projects ranging from single-family homes to mixed-use developments, office towers, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-family residential buildings.
