HOLYOKE FITTINGS

Holyoke Fittings, Inc. is a manufacturer of thermoplastic and brass fittings,gas accessories, polyethylene tubing, and hose products... The need to adapt coal stoves and water heaters to gas burning units provided an opportunity for a new industry. The Holyoke Heater Corporation, started in Massachusetts, was a pioneer in the manufacture of the conversion burners and elements needed as natural gas became available to residential consumers in the early parts of the Twentieth century. As a by-product of its manufactured units it also distributed a line of flare and compression fittings needed to make the complete installation... With the increased popularity of gas stoves and water heaters, primarily after World War II, Holyoke became primarily a supplier of fittings and gas accessories to the plumbing industry. In the fifties, a group of investors purchased the company and moved it to Hartford, Connecticut under the name of the Holyoke Heater Corporation of Connecticut, Inc.
