About Reliable Sprinkler

History
Reliable was founded in 1920 by Frank J. Fee, a mechanical contractor who began manufacturing sprinklers when he had trouble securing them for his own jobs. Frank J. Fee, Jr., succeeded his father as company President in 1945, and his son, Frank J. Fee III, served as President from 1976 through 2015. In July 2015, Kevin T. Fee was named President. This puts Reliable today in its third generation of Fee family leadership. As part of senior management with Frank J. Fee III are his two brothers, Kevin T. Fee, President, and Michael R. Fee, Executive Vice President. The family-run company also has many employees who have served in excess of 25 years, enhancing its team-family tradition.
