A recall has been issued for Delta-branded gas ball valves due to the potential for gas leakage when the valve is in the open position, posing a risk of fire and burns. Manufactured by Masco Canada Limited and distributed in the United States through Delta Faucet Company, the recall affects around 3,700 units sold nationwide and an additional 18,500 units sold in Canada.

The valves, which are used primarily in laboratories within schools, research facilities, and hospitals, were available through plumbing supply distributors from January 2006 to January 2025. The recalled items are chrome-colored with the word “Delta” on the body and “GAS” printed in white on a blue top. Each affected unit is also marked with “1/2 PSI MAX” and “GAS/GAZ” on the bottom.
Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and contact Masco Canada to determine eligibility for a refund. The company is offering to cover the cost of labor for removal and disposal of the valves. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but Masco Canada is proactively reaching out to known purchasers.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The recall, issued on May 8, 2025, was coordinated in conjunction with Canadian authorities. Consumers can find more information and submit recall claims through Masco Canada’s website or by calling their toll-free number. The valves were sold at prices ranging from $30 to $160. All recalled products were manufactured in Canada.
