Product Spotlight

When it comes to delivering safe, heated water in commercial applications, such as schools, hospitals, hotels and multi-family living facilities, the importance of reliable and precise temperature control is a must. But without a precise mixing valve solution, hot water availability can be hindered by big variances and inconsistencies, creating frustration and safety issues for building occupants. Fortunately, Bradley’s new Navigator^® digital mixing valve (DMV) ensures exact water temperature, hot water system safety, as well as thermal disinfection.

Engineered with advanced temperature control technology, this new DMV provides precise and reliable temperature control, and programmable features. Designed to deliver and maintain water temperatures within +/- 3º F, even during low and zero demand periods, this digital valve maximizes safety and efficiency for domestic hot water systems.

The valve’s intuitive controller allows proactive temperature control by setting the temperature for normal operation and scheduling periodic thermal disinfection cycles. Data logging and BMS integration allow for convenient remote monitoring to ensure the proper water temperature is being distributed, eliminating the risk of elevated temperatures and scalding.

Customizable thermal disinfection system

To keep water clean and safe, the automatic daily ball rotation feature removes scale to keep the valve running smoothly while reducing cleaning and maintenance time. The valve’s exclusive, programmable weekly thermal disinfection system — with four programmable settings — raises temperatures to kill Legionella and other harmful bacteria. After disinfection, the system will automatically flush hot water and reset for daily use.

The tight temperature control, remote monitoring capabilities, and easy-to-program thermal disinfection system make the valve ideal for larger domestic hot water systems such as schools, hospitals, hotels and apartment buildings.

The S59-5000 series valve is available in five models ranging from 3/4” to 2” in size. Two valves can also be combined into a manifold system to deliver even higher flow rates up to 409 GPM at 20 psi drop.

Each model comes complete with valve, actuator, mixed and return sensors, mixed temperature gauge and controller for a comprehensive ready-to-install package. All materials are 100% factory assembled and tested.

New models combine advanced scale prevention with contractor-friendly features

A. O. Smith, a leader in water heating and water treatment solutions, announces the launch of its Concentric Vent Non-condensing Tankless Water Heater line with X3® Scale Prevention Technology. Expanding this patented technology to additional A. O. Smith tankless units showcases the company’s commitment to combating the number one enemy of tankless water heaters—scale buildup.

Scale accumulation in a tankless water heater compromises efficiency and performance while increasing maintenance costs. A. O. Smith’s breakthrough X3 Scale Prevention Technology ensures uninterrupted functionality, eliminates the need for scale-related maintenance and extends the lifespan of tankless units three times longer than unprotected units. Now, A. O. Smith is introducing this breakthrough technology to its non-condensing concentric vent tankless water heaters, offering residential contractors top-of-the-line technology in a lower-cost unit.

“Scale buildup has long been a major obstacle for tankless water heaters,” says Isaac Wilson, senior product manager at A. O. Smith. “With our X3 Technology, we’re addressing this challenge head on, ensuring like-new performance for the life of the product. By expanding X3 Technology to non-condensing models, we’re revolutionizing the market and empowering builders and installers with exceptional scale prevention capabilities for superior efficiency.”

Designed to meet the unique needs of industry professionals, this innovative product simplifies installations thanks to contractor-preferred concentric venting. The unit accommodates long venting runs and features quick natural-gas-to-propane field convertibility for added flexibility.
