A.O. Smith Corp.
Residential heat pump water heater
The Voltex 120V Plug-In Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is specifically designed to meet the demands of gas replacements, offering an easy 120V installation that plugs into a standard electrical outlet. The Voltex 120V model can be plugged directly into a shared circuit wall outlet, ensuring a simplified installation process. Top water connections and a zero-clearance design support an easy installation for contractors and allow for the unit to be installed in a variety of applications. Furthermore, the Voltex 120V unit is ENERGY STAR-certified and qualifies for many federal, state and local utility rebates. The Voltex 120V HPWH comes equipped with an included leak sensor and shut off valve, providing enhanced protection and minimizing potential water damage. Homeowners can also stay informed and in control with iCOMM remote monitoring notifications, allowing for proactive monitoring and maintenance.
Lochinvar
Commercial heat pump water heater
The Veritus Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) serves as a sustainable option providing energy savings and reliable domestic hot water for a wide variety of commercial applications. ECM pumps, fans and a scroll compressor work together to enable Veritus to operate with a high COP, optimize heat transfer and minimize emissions. To provide improved installation flexibility, Veritus heat pumps are modular, meaning units can be manifolded together — ensuring ample hot water supply, built-in redundancy and capacity matching for larger commercial water heater demands. The Veritus utilizes a low Global Warming Potential Refrigerant (R513A). When paired with Lochinvar’s Thermal-Stor storage tank, the tank’s patent-pending baffle ensures the system performs optimally by controlling the stratification of hot water as it’s stored, enhancing overall system performance.
Lync
UV disinfection system
Lync’s UV-H is an eco-friendly UV disinfection system for a variety of applications, including potable water. The low-maintenance system is configurable up to 100 gpm and mitigates risks associated with microbiological contamination and biofilm formation in low- and high-flow commercial water heating and piping systems and protect building occupants. It inactivates 99.9999% (6-log) of Legionella bacteria to effectively address concerns related to occupant health and system metallurgy. The systems are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 & NSF/ANSI 372 and are available for potable, reuse or wastewater applications. A chemical-free solution, Lync UV-H effectively treats inlet water through a 360° UV light emission provided by Crossfire Technology and a two-lamp design. The reactor design reduces the possibility for microorganisms to be blocked from the UV light by particles.
Ranger Design
Commercial van storage solutions
Ranger Design introduces its Composite Aluminum Shelving. With the latest in advanced composite materials from powersport and anti-ballistic applications, this new shelving line provides the same load capacity as Ranger Design’s steel shelving with a 25% reduction in weight. The new aluminum-alloy end panels are coated with a protective finish that improves smudge- and abrasion-resistance. This coating also eliminates the need for PVC film, reducing packaging and making installation easier than ever. Each shelf combines Ranger Design’s tried-and-true aluminum extrusions with a honeycomb composite, providing improved noise mitigation and protection across a wider range of chemicals. With 14 new solutions available in 7 widths and 2 heights, Ranger Design’s new Composite Aluminum Shelving keeps tradesmen and their vehicles organized with the strength they need and the weight they don’t.
Watts Water Technologies
Lead-free balancing valve solution
Watts has introduced the LF iDROSET CSD, a lead-free static, efficient, balancing valve solution for use in potable hot water systems and recirculation loops. The LF iDROSET’s dial makes balancing simple and easy by providing a way to view flow rate directly on the valve and make tool-free adjustments as needed. No external measuring device is needed. The product features a large, easy-to-read gauge, rotating hand wheel that sets flow rate, and a 1/4” port for adding accessories. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 - Drinking Water System Components, the LF iDROSET CSD is available in sizes 1/2”, 3/4” and 1” and is valve calibrated by factory to +/- 10% accuracy.
Webstone
T-Valve expansion
NIBCO announces enhancements to its Webstone Pro-Pal T-Valve line, designed to easily isolate a device or branch for service. The enhancements include 17 new lead-free dezincification-resistant brass models in highly requested options. These options are FIP x press models for expansion tanks and return headers now available in sizes up to 1 ¼”; a G-thread option that is compatible with a host of fittings and accessories and new 3/8” and ¼” OD compression branch models that are perfect for humidifiers and ice maker installations in tight locations. Available in a choice of PEX, push, or press system runs, these models are compatible with a variety of compression fittings to customize installations.
