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.”

Since 1937, RectorSeal has offered products that have built a steadily growing and loyal following among contractors due to differentiated and proven product performance. Further, the company is often the first to tackle and solve challenges professional trade contractors face.

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
