Flexible Capacity Unit Delivers Thermal Comfort from 55 Gallon Platform

Ariston Group’s Engineering and Quality teams introduce the Everlast Elevate, a new flexible capacity water heater from HTP. The unit delivers the highest output of any residential resistance electric storage water heater on the market after the enforcement policy covering electric water heaters greater than 55-gallons in NAECA III expires on Dec. 31, 2021. The Elevate combines energy efficiency, durability, and maximum comfort in one easy-to-install package.

The HTP Everlast Elevate residential electric water heater, developed in Ariston’s R&D center in New Bedford, delivers the same comfort homeowners expect from water heaters ranging in size from 55-gallons to 100-gallons from a 55-gallon platform. An adjustable thermostat paired with an ASSE 1017 certified mixing valve allows for safe and consistent temperature at the faucet while elevating the total amount of hot water available by safely turning the thermostat up to store water as high as 170°F. 316L stainless-steel construction allows the water heater to store more thermal energy, without the risk of premature failure due to corrosion.

Energy saving and environmentally-friendly hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) foam allows for better heater insulation and is non-ozone depleting with low Global Warming Potential (GWP). With more insulation where it matters most, the Elevate is designed for minimal heat loss when turned up to 170°F.

The HTP Everlast Elevate electric water heater comes with a lifetime warranty on the tank and up to six years on parts with online registration. 316L stainless steel tank construction, titanium heating elements, and a premium grade aluminum anode rod guarantee optimum corrosion resistance, extended tank life, and no rotten egg smell.

Units feature safety measures in addition to the ASSE 1017 certified mixing valve for scald protection, including a built-in thermal cutout thermostat for overheating protection. Units are certified to the UL 174 safety standard and are lead-free compliant, per the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The HTP Everlast Elevate is designed to fit in the footprint of a traditional 80-gallon electric water heater. The mixing valve comes installed on the product, so only inlet and outlet connections need to be established. Factory-installed temperature and pressure relief valves and brass drain valves expedite installation. The unit also has an easily established electrical connection.

HTP, a brand of the Ariston Group, has a wide range of highly efficient products and system components for space heating and water heating. Using the most durable components in the industry, HTP is synonymous with high-quality and long-lasting products that help customers save energy and money.

Destined to become the new standard in bathroom sink drains, ZeroDrain offers sleek aesthetics, easy installation, and a virtually clog-free experience

California Faucets has revolutionized the future of the bathroom sink drain. Winner of multiple international design awards, the streamlined ZeroDrain® offers a more design-friendly appeal over outdated rod-and-clip drain designs. With no unsightly protruding plunger, ZeroDrain is easy to install and even easier to clean. ZeroDrain’s patented user-friendly design helps to minimize bathroom sink clogs, allowing homeowners to avoid pouring harmful chemicals—and money for expensive plumbing repairs—down the drain.

“ZeroDrain is a unique example of why sometimes reinventing the wheel—in this case, the drain—makes sense,” says Noah Taft, California Faucets Chief Marketing Officer. “It’s not only light years ahead in terms of design. It’s also easier to install and maintain than standard drains,” Taft adds.

Cleaning ZeroDrain couldn’t be simpler. Just pull out the stopper, rinse out the gunk, and reinsert. The process adds only a few seconds to regular cleaning time, but can help to seriously reduce drain clogs, saving the hassle, headache, and expense of calling the plumber to unclog the drain.

Pricing for ZeroDrain starts at $129 in Polished Chrome.

The Magnetic Boiler Filter XL is designed to protect larger residential boilers from iron sludge that can accumulate in a hydronic system. Commonly installed on the system run, it captures ferrous and non-ferrous debris before it can reach the boiler using a high-powered 12,000 Gauss magnet and plastic filter.

The drain makes it simple to remove accumulation, with a strapped cap that can be used to actuate the drain valve and a large filter body that increases time between service. A service tool is also included to help install and maintain the filter with ease. G-threads make it simple to swap out your choice of press, MIP, FIP, or sweat G-union end connections in sizes 1¼” or 1½”. The MBF XL can withstand 250°F and 145 PSI CWP.
