It’s Three Machines In One

With the versatility to handle 1-1/4” to 4” drain lines, General Pipe Cleaners’ Root 66® is three machines in one!

Designed to clear practically any inside or rooftop drain, the Root 66 power drain cleaner uses 5/8″ or 7/8″ sectional cables interchangeably. There’s no need for special adapters or tools to switch from one cable size to the other.

Need to clear sinks and other small drain lines? Get the optional drum with smaller 1/4″, 5/16”, or 3/8” continuous Flexicore® cables. Just slide onto the back of Root 66, and you’re ready to go!

A General exclusive, optional 7/8″ Proflex® sectional cables (15R10-P) sport an inner spring. It gives the cable greater strength to transfer extra torque down the line for additional cutting power.

And now you can quickly and cleanly use sectional drain cleaners in confined and hard-to-access areas with General’s 5’ by 7/8” (5R-10) Force Multiplier™ sectional cable. It offers better control to reduce the risks of spraying walls, floors, and furniture from exposed wet, spinning cables.

Operating Root 66 is easy. Depress the drive handle for plenty of cable torque from the 1/2 hp capacitor motor. Release the drive handle and the cable immediately stops rotating – for no additional torque build-up. A wide, four-point base provides excellent stability. And General’s compact, powerful drain cleaner is easy to transport and maneuver.

Other accessories include cable carriers and a toolbox. Standard equipment includes a ground fault circuit interrupter, double palm leather gloves, rear guide hose, and General’s tradition of quality, performance and reliability.

RectorSeal LLC., a leading manufacturer of quality HVAC/R and plumbing accessories, has announced the release of new code-compliant HVAC lineset jackets offering protection from wind, code-compliant UV rays, and abrasion.

With the growth of new building code regulations requiring the protection of foam insulation on HVAC linesets, RectorSeal now offers durable UV-resistant PVC foam insulation jackets providing a simple, easy, and compliant solution for HVAC contractors. The innovative hook and loop fastening system is bonded and sewn for extra adherence.  That allows the lineset insulation jackets to be both removable and reusable for easy installation and maintenance. Available in three wall sizes, the system lineset jackets are designed to fit residential and commercial ducted and ductless HVAC systems.

Additional features of the lineset jackets include a Class II Vapor Retarder Per ASTM-E96 Water/Vapor Permeability Test. Further, they provide a secure, breathable, tight fit, covering multiple lineset diameters, and do not fray when cut to size.

“The addition of our new lineset jackets is a perfect complement to our Outset Seal products,” said Jeff Underwood, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing at RectorSeal. “We now have an end-to-end protection system for HVAC linesets from wall penetration to condensing unit. We strive to provide our customers with optimal solutions that offer added protection and code compliance regardless of the product category.”

Pressure monitoring capability is now standard on Watts large diameter (2-1/2 in. or larger) Series LF007 and LF709 backflow preventers with NRS gate valves for non-fire applications. Pressure monitoring can be activated on these valves with the purchase of add-on activation kits.

LF007

After activating the pressure monitoring system, users can access live pressure data with their existing building management system (BMS). Live monitoring provides instantaneous assessment of system pressure and check differentials, giving users immediate feedback on the performance of their backflow preventer. With constant pressure measurement, users gain valuable advanced warning of potential issues, adding a layer of protection to the potable water supply from potential backflow events. With the prevention of these events comes the benefit of avoiding the water waste that typically accompanies them.

LF709

Customers can also retrofit existing Watts valves with performance monitoring by ordering a sensor replacement/upgrade kit and BMS monitoring connection kit. For more information, go to https://www.watts.com/performance-monitoring
