New elbows provide flexibility for larger tubing materials in Viega PEX Press systems.
Viega’s new 45-degree elbows for Viega PEX Press systems allow users to install larger tubing with Viega’s innovative press technology.
The new, polymer PEX Press 45-degree elbows are available in 1 1/2″ and 2″ sizes. The elbows feature Viega’s patented Smart Connect® feature, which allows water to flow past an unpressed fitting, providing installers with added confidence in their connections.
“Viega is excited to release another addition to our growing PEX Press product line,” said Seth Larson, product manager, plastics at Viega. “The PEX Press 45-degree elbows will provide flexibility for larger tubing and is ideal for use in commercial applications.” The PEX Press elbows are part of Viega’s growing line of products designed for commercial applications. Viega PEX offerings also include Viega PEX Press test plugs, PEX Press 90-degree flare elbows, PEX Press reducing tees and PEX pipe supports.
The Viega PEX Press is the only system on the market molded from Radel-R®, a superior plastic material. Viega PEX Press fittings are factory assembled with attached stainless steel sleeves with three view holes which helps installers insert tubing correctly, ensuring proper installation. Color-coded tool locator rings assure proper alignment of the press tool. The Viega PEX Press system can be used with all Viega tubing, including: ViegaPEXTM, ViegaPEX Ultra, ViegaPEX Barrier and Viega FostaPEX®.

InSinkErator®, a business unit of St. Louis-based Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR), has important information for property managers and developers. Residents love disposers for the convenience, but industry professionals have strong incentives to appreciate them as well, including potential cost savings from solid waste disposal fees, fewer nuisance rodents and pests attracted by curbside and dumpster collection—plus an improved environmental impact by possibly reducing landfill additions.
Recognizing all the benefits of in-sink disposers, earlier this year the city of Philadelphia started requiring in-sink disposers in all new residential construction.
In-sink disposers also help builders reach the National Green Building Standard, the ICC/ANSI- approved residential green building rating system. Each unit installed contributes one point towards the National Green Building Standard.
“There are still a lot of myths surrounding use of food waste disposers”, said Michael Keleman, Manager of Environmental Engineering at InSinkErator. “Today’s models grind food waste better and more quietly than ever before. This significantly reduces clogged pipes and jammed units while allowing modern municipal waste treatment systems to capitalize on the environmental advantages of the waste at collection facilities.”
Most municipal sewer districts already employ reclamation systems to convert biodegradable materials from their sanitary systems into compost and natural gas. That creates local and regional promotional and goodwill opportunities for facility-wide applications, particularly in larger developments.
InSinkErator works with developers, property management groups and communities across the United States to evaluate the potential for cost savings and environmental credits in their properties. For more information, visit http://www.insinkerator.com/savings. Or, contact:

The valve allows water to be stored at higher temperatures, extending water heater capacity by as much as 133% (depending on storage and incoming cold water temperature).
The lead free LFLM496-HTK valve helps minimize the occurrence of Legionella and risk of scalding. By extending hot water capacity, it eliminates the need to replace a hot water tank with a larger-capacity unit. The valve is listed to ASSE 1070, ASSE 1017 and IAPMO cUPC. It comes complete with integral filters, checks, and union connections and has a lockable temperature adjustment and a 5°F approach temperature.

Milwaukee Tool brings game-changing innovation to the cordless power tool market with the introduction of the M18™ Transfer Pump. Developed specifically for the water removal challenges plumbers, HVAC professionals, and maintenance technicians encounter on a daily basis in residential and industrial plumbing applications, the new Transfer Pump allows users to transfer water faster, resulting in faster service calls.
Completely self-priming, the M18™ Transfer Pump is designed with a flexible impeller that, once turned on, starts pumping water instantly from inlet to outlet without the need for additional priming assistance from the user. At 480 gallons per hour, the pump can rapidly move water from one area to another. This flexible impeller also helps create a powerful pressure difference that can produce an 18’ lift. Paired with a head height of 75’, the new Transfer Pump can easily be used in a variety of applications.
Equipped with REDLINK™ Intelligence, the Transfer Pump is protected against dry pumping by switching off when the application is complete and the tool begins running dry. This helps to protect the motor, maximizing the life of the tool and also allows users to conduct other work related tasks without having to worry about damaging the tool.
For added convenience, the battery connects to the M18™ Transfer Pump in a splash-proof compartment on the back of the tool, providing a dry place for the battery during use. This compartment is large enough to fit all M18™ battery packs. In addition, a clear viewing window provides better visibility to the impeller, allowing the user to quickly troubleshoot blockages or other issues. The tool also comes equipped with (2) ¾” brass threads to fit all major brands of hose connections.
Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity for plumbers, HVAC, and maintenance professionals by offering them the ability to perform an entire job on one battery system. The new M18™ Transfer Pump is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 100 power tool products.
