Product Spotlight
Zurn Industries, LLC announces the expansion of its EZ Gear Technology portfolio with the EZ Gear Sensor Flush Valves and Retrofit Kits. The EZ Gear Sensor Flush Valves incorporate the company’s EZ-Flush®, AquaSpec® faucets, and GO BLUE® parts.
“The new motor gear-driven operation extends the life of the sensor flush valve by eliminating the solenoid commonly found in other designs,” said Dan Danowski, Zurn Product Manager for Finish Plumbing. “With fewer and more robust moving parts in contact with the water, you can expect them to withstand up to 1,000,000 cycles. Architects will appreciate the modern design, while business owners can depend on proven performance and lower cost of ownership.”
This series includes water closet flush valves in 1.6 gpf, 1.28 gpf, and 1.1 gpf flow rates. The urinal flush valves are available in 1.0 gpf and 0.125 gpf flow rates. Each valve contains the company’s chemical resistant Zurn GO BLUE parts. The patented diaphragms, gaskets, and seals typically last eight to ten times longer than rubber components. The sensor promotes sanitation and soft-close flushes quieter than before. The line is now available in battery power.
The EZ Gear Sensor Retrofit Kits allow contractors and building owners to replace existing Zurn or Sloan® handle-operated diaphragm water closet or urinal flush valves. Kits include a Sloan ring adaptor. Retrofit kits speed up upgrades for commercial restroom applications.

Savvy professionals call it the dependable way to preserve and protect sewer cables from rust. Now original Snake-Oil™ from General Pipe Cleaners is back!
Now called Snake-Oil Classic™, it’s better than common lubricants. General’s special rust inhibitor cuts through moisture – and replaces it with a rust resistant coating.
Sewer cables and machines – including drums, bearings and power cable feeds – enjoy significantly extended life. And General’s deodorant gives everything a fresh, clean smell.
It’s easy to use, too. Just pour a quantity of Snake-Oil Classic into your machine’s cable drum – and rotate the container, letting the oil contact as much of the cable as possible. Then drain off excess Snake-Oil Classic – and allow the cable to air-dry.
Snake-Oil Classic joins Snake-Oil Plus™, General’s new non-toxic, biodegradable addition to its Snake-Oil family. Snake-Oil Plus creates a virtually non-stick surface that keeps mud and debris from adhering to cables and equipment – extending the life of both.
Snake-Oil Classic is available in either quarts or gallons (New part # SOC-Q or SOC-G.)

Bosch Thermotechnology announced the release of its Climate 5000 Mini-Split Gen 2, a ductless system suitable for both residential and light commercial applications. The new, second-generation mini-split lineup expands the first generation lineup with enhanced performance, redesigned wall-mounted units; new four-way cassettes; and concealed ducted systems.
The Climate 5000 Mini-Split Gen 2 is a versatile heating and cooling option that is easy to install, easier to use, and delivers consistent temperature and humidity levels throughout desired spaces by making a series of automatic adjustments. An ENERGY STAR® rated single-zone and multi-zone system, it uses a combination of efficient technologies to achieve up to 25 SEER, significantly exceeding the 14 SEER requirement for ductless systems set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Unique to the Climate 5000 Ductless System 2.0 Series, the mini-split offers a HyperHeat System – a heating and cooling function that does not require additional accessories to maintain comfortable temperatures even when outdoor conditions dip as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit.
“The second generation of our Climate 5000 series provides on-demand comfort that is flexible, simple to install and easy to maintain,” said Andrew Archambault, senior product manager for Bosch Thermotechnology. “The reduced ductwork offerings comprise a smaller footprint, and some models allow for longer refrigerant piping than traditional systems. These improvements maximize contractors’ efficiency by enabling them to quickly complete new installations.”
The Climate 5000 Mini-Split Gen 2 is equipped with advanced energy-saving inverter drive technology that minimizes expenses while maintaining sound levels as low as 20 dBA when silence mode is activated. Each sunit features a turbo function that offers faster cooling and heating than traditional systems to deliver optimal comfort. The redesigned, wall-mounted Indoor units are available in new four-way cassette and concealed ducted options.
Optional wired wall thermostats and 24V interfaces are also available. The 24V interface will allow the Climate 5000 Mini-Split Gen 2 to work with 24V thermostats such as the Bosch BCC100 and BCC50, as well as various standard thermostats on the market. The wired-wall thermostat works in all indoor environments and offers a “Follow Me” feature that detects room temperatures.
The Climate 5000 Mini-Split is available to major distributors throughout North America. Visit the Climate 5000 Ductless System 2.0 Series page for more information.
