Cold-Shot® Pipe Freezing Kit from General Pipe Cleaners lets you repair an operating water system without draining water lines before cutting pipe or tubing. The Cold-Shot freezes liquids in steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum or plastic pipes, 1/8” through 2” in diameter, using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in dip-tube cylinders. It can create an ice plug in copper tubing within five minutes – and in steel pipe within three minutes. The Cold-Shot is faster, more compact and less expensive than “refrigerator-type” or “bag-type” units.

Taco Comfort Solutions’® new Optimized Efficiency (Oe) high performance package for commercial pumps sets new standards for performance, efficiency and lifecycle cost.
By adding a permanent-magnet ECM motor and VFD to pumps in Taco’s commercial line, efficiency and service life are increased while exceeding upcoming DOE regulations. Pumps between three and 30hp are available with the Oe Package. Combined with the company’s extensive line of residential ECM circulators, Taco now offers the broadest range of high-efficiency, ECM-powered pumps and circulators.
Taco’s Oe Package reduces total cost of ownership through advanced motor technology and decreased energy consumption. Longer service life, more uptime and higher reliability are all benefits of pairing permanent magnet motors with VFDs. Performance is increased, motors operate more quietly, smoother and cooler than equivalent induction motors, and maintenance is decreased.
The Oe Package is available with Taco’s factory-programmed SelfSensing technology and ProBalance drives. This reduces or eliminates the need for controls and balancing contractors in the commissioning and start-up process.
As the commercial construction market is continuously driven toward higher efficiency, the Oe Package keeps Taco on the leading edge.

ThermOmegaTech®, a world leader in the design and manufacture of self-actuating thermostatic valve technology, introduces the CircuitSolver® Sanitary Flush (CSUSF) Valve as the newest addition to their CircuitSolver® line. The CSUSF allows for higher-temperature water to flow through a domestic hot water system during the disinfection process to protect against Legionella growth in systems capable of high-temperature flushes.
Nick Tallos, Vice President of Engineering for ThermOmegaTech® says, “CircuitSolver® technology was already an innovative balancing method for domestic hot water systems. Now, with the addition of the Sanitary Flush, CircuitSolver® further stands out as a revolutionary technology with a myriad of applications. With its capability to protect against Legionella growth, the CircuitSolver® becomes an even easier and reliable balancing solution. It’s just another step in the right direction.”
The CircuitSolver® is a thermostatic, self-actuating balancing valve that continuously and automatically adjusts the flow through each branch of a domestic hot water recirculation system to maintain the specified temperature at the end of each branch, regardless of fluctuations in hot water demand. It is a direct replacement for manual balancing valves and eliminates balancing labor and callbacks. The CSUSF valve uses two high-thrust actuators, a low-temperature actuator to maintain standard balancing temperature, and a high-temperature actuator to allow for high temperature sanitary flushing of the system.
The CircuitSolver® Sanitary Flush Valve is tamper-proof and automatically balances any domestic hot water system at a set temperature, while still allowing higher water temperatures to enter for disinfection, preventing Legionella growth. It is the ideal solution for a maintenance-free balancing and high-temperature flush application. The CSUSF is lead-free, stainless steel, and corrosion resistant. The CSUSF valve is NSF/ANSI 61certified, comes equipped with a long service life and 3-year warranty.
ThermOmegaTech®’s CircuitSolver® Sanitary Flush Valve is available for purchase through your local representative. For more information visit www.CircuitSolver.com or call 877-379-8258.
