Product Spotlight
Jones Stephens introduces our new trap seals, designed to prevent sewer gas odors from escaping infrequently used floor drains. Made with durable EPDM, they meet ASSE standards and are UPC approved. They can be used for new construction or retrofit applications.
As an alternative to trap primer, trap seals eliminate the need to pour water down the drain. They’re the ideal choice to minimize evaporation and odors in residential and commercial applications, as they prevent sewer gas leakage and mitigate backflow. The seal opens to allow the flow of drainage and closes when there is no flow.
Installation is quick and easy with no special tools required. Simply remove the drain grate, push the trap seal firmly into the drain throat, and replace the grate to complete installation. Jones Stephens’ trap seals are available in 4 commonly used sizes: 2”, 3”, 3 ½”, and 4”.

Money-saving plastic pipe reamers (also known as socket savers and/or hub savers) are designed to clean out the old or broken pipe and leftover solvent cement from a fitting so the fitting can be reused. In this era of green living and recycling, try these reamers on PVC, CPVC or ABS to save time and material costs.
Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamers fit into standard ½” drills. PPR socket savers work great for vent lines, drain lines, and water lines. Carbide cutting insert on socket saver provides a cutting edge on each side. Rotate the socket saver’s cutting insert before replacement and receive three additional cutting edges.
- Clean leftover pipe and solvent cement residue from PVC, CPVC or ABS fittings.
- Reduce labor time and materials costs by reusing the fittings.
- Offered in specific fitting sizes to give the best clean-out.
- Pilot diameter aids in cutting on center and stops tool at the proper cutting depth.
- Clean edge of PPR with solvent to remove the thin film left by solvent cement.
- Use high torque, low RPM setting on standard 1/2 inch drill to reduce heat caused by friction and to provide the cleanest ream.
REED Clean Ream Extreme® Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamers are NOT recommended for high pressure supply systems or for vent side of gas burning appliance piping systems.

Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) announced that its Inline 1100 SpecPAK has been recognized with an AHR Expo (International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition) Innovation Award. The awards, given annually across ten industry categories, represent the most innovative products and technologies hitting the market in the coming year.
The Inline 1100 SpecPAK is a multi-pump pressure boosting system that connects easily to nearly any plumbing configuration. As the sole winner in the Plumbing category, AHR Expo singled out the Franklin Electric product for its unique smaller footprint, which allows it to be housed in a compact utility closet or wall hung to preserve critical floor space. The self-contained design delivers a “plug and play” solution that is part of a complete package centered around easy installation, operation and durability. The AHR announcement also highlighted the system’s quiet operation, critical for many residential and commercial applications.
While all products up for Innovation Award consideration must be exhibited at the 2022 AHR Expo and available for sale by January 2022, the Franklin Electric product offers users an additional benefit: immediate availability. The system is in-stock and ready for shipping.
Each year, numerous high-profile companies compete for AHR Expo Innovation Award recognition. Products go head-to-head in one of 10 categories, with only one product winning in each. Winners are selected by a panel of third-party ASHRAE member judges who evaluate all award entries based on innovative design, creativity, application, value and market impact. The Top Product of the Year is then selected from these 10 winners. It will be announced at the show Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 in Las Vegas.

The NPN-120E is the fourth model introduction to the NPN-E (exterior) series, and just like the other three models in the series (NPN-160E, NPN-180E and NPN-199E), the new size is offered in separate natural gas and liquid propane configurations for outdoor-only operation. NPN-120E provides 4.2 GPM at 45° F temperature rise and stays in-line with the rest of the NPN series at 0.81 UEF.
The NPN series is the first and only non-condensing tankless series to offer NaviTech™ technology that includes a stainless-steel heat exchanger and an advanced stainless-steel burner with the same very low NOx level as the NPE condensing tankless water heaters. NPN-E units have recirculation control built into their circuit boards and are designed with a pin-to-pin matching configuration for easy retrofit installations.
Additional features of the NPN series include: wi-fi remote control capability with NaviLink™, low noise levels for quiet operation, and a sleek, space-saving and lightweight design.
