PRIER Products, Inc., launched another new product at its Kansas City production campus. The new freezeless roof hydrant is designed with a piston-style displacement system. It requires no winterization or drain line, which saves installation time, material, maintenance and labor costs.

Roof hydrants have become more common on top of commercial facilities for cleaning air conditioning condenser coils, cooling towers and solar panels. There has also been a rise in rooftop gardens and greenspaces requiring water. There’s no need to pull heavy hoses up ladders which cuts down on potential injuries.

“We realized there was a better way to design a roof hydrant that cuts down on installation costs while providing facility owners peace-of-mind when the winter season hits,” said Research and Development Manager, Scott Brady. “Our team of engineers evaluated various options on the market and went to work on making a roof hydrant that exceeds expectations of facility owners, managers and specifying engineers.”

The new P-RH4 Sanitary Roof Hydrant requires just a single penetration in the roof and comes with a sturdy bracket that attaches to any structural member with rigid support. It offers a high flow rate of 10 gallons per minute, bucket catch and lockable lever handle. The roof hydrant is code approved to ASSE 1057 and NSF 372 lead-free standards.

“The P-RH4 roof hydrant is another innovative product from PRIER and helps round out our commercial plumbing line of products,” said President, Nick Manning. “We’ve seen an immediate demand from customers around the United States and Canada, and expect the momentum to continue as we roll out more products in the next quarter.”

All of PRIER’s commercial products are listed in MasterSpec for specifying and product information by engineers, contractors, architects and facility owners. BIM and REVIT files are available on www.prier.com.

RLS LLC, manufacturer of the Rapid Locking System line of flame-free press-to-connect fittings for HVAC and refrigeration systems, announces that Milwaukee® Tool, in partnership with RLS, has introduced RLS-compatible jaws for use with its popular M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Press Tools.

Available in sizes from 1/4″ – 1-3/8″, these new RLS ACR Press Jaws will allow M18 tool users to take advantage of the time-saving and safety benefits of flame-free RLS press connections for HVAC/R, without needing to invest in a new press tool. These are the industry’s first jaws approved to press RLS fittings using 32 kN (kilonewton) tools.

In addition, the new Milwaukee jaws are also compatible with a wide range of other 32 kN tools on the market, including those from manufacturers such as RIDGID, Klauke, Viega, Dewalt, NovoPress and Rothenberger. Contractors who already own any of these tools will only need to purchase the Milwaukee jaws to begin installing RLS fittings.

Milwaukee’s RLS-compatible jaws will be sold exclusively through Milwaukee distributors. Contact Milwaukee or visit milwaukeetool.com for details. For more information on RLS press fittings, and a complete RLS Tool & Jaw Compatibility Matrix, visit rapidlockingsystem.com.

About RLS Fittings

RLS press fittings connect in 10 seconds using a battery-powered tool and jaws, replacing the time-consuming process of manually brazing HVAC/R joints. The fittings result in faster, more consistent connections that reduce total installed costs, while also increasing jobsite safety by eliminating the use of an open flame. More than 10 million RLS fittings have been successfully installed since their introduction in 2015
