ADI or TriED- good suppliers?

[peter d]

I am going to be starting an EC business fairly soon and I was wondering if ADI or TriEd are good suppliers.

Normally, I buy the low voltage stuff from my primary electrical supplier (which has good depth and breadth of inventory.)

Any opinions or suggestions are appreciated.

Well, that settles it. WalMart it is!

Peter, if you are still around, ADI is an extremly good supplier of communication, alarm,cctv, and a few other genres of wire and devices.
I have no idea about the other company you mentioned.

Thanks Mike.

I had never heard of TriEd until recently, and I found them by accident while searching for info on Elk Products.


They are national and seem to be the only competition that ADI has.

Here is their website:

ADI is a branch affiliate of Ademco/Pittway owned by Honeywell.
They're fairly evenly distributed thru USA but keep in Mind that being Ademco the push Honywell products like crazy. (If your familiar with NAPCO, its the reason NAPCO pulled their products from ADI Distribution- back shelf status!)
Tri-ED was bought by a Former ADI Executive- up and coming- I guess its compete with the guy I left syndrome.
Other Distributors include:
Alarm Distributors
Alarm Warehouse
Elcor/Supply Dog
Eatsern Distributing
Worthington Industries.

Yes, ADI is pretty heavy on the Honeywell stuff. I was looking at their catalog and it looks like all their fire and security systems are some Honeywell brand or affiliate.
