Product Spotlight
Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) recently announced its planned expansion to its line of condensate pumps with the introduction of the VCMA-20-PRO series. With the slimmest footprint of all Little Giant condensate pumps, the VCMA-20-PRO Series offers the broadest range of installation flexibility, allowing for critical condensate removal from air conditioning, refrigeration, and dehumidification equipment even in tight spaces. The pump is also suitable for high efficiency oil and gas-fired condensing furnace and condensing boiler equipment.
The vertical-type pump measures only 6.5″ x 10.2″ x 4.8″ and features a 3/8″ O.D. barbed with 1/4-turn quick release locking discharge adapter plus built-in check valve. This allows the unit to be serviced without removing tubing to help eliminate water spills. Three 1-1/8″ diameter inlet openings (two fitted with removal cap plugs) allow the pump to be used with multiple types of equipment, including air conditioners and furnace systems. Additional benefits include:
- An external float-activated switch that automatically detects high water levels
- Rubber feet to absorb vibration on hard surface installations and reduce noise from the unit
- An optional anti-sweat sleeve for applications where high humidity would otherwise result in condensation on the tank exterior
The VCMA-20-PRO Series joins an extensive line of Little Giant condensate pump equipment, including standard condensate removal pumps, low profile condensate removal pumps, in-pan condensate removal pumps, plenum and high-temperature pumps, mini-split pumps, and specialty pumps like evaporative cooler pumps and ice machine replacement pumps. The VCMA Series, originally launched in 1999, has long been trusted by HVAC professionals.

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.
