General Pipe Cleaners Power-Vee® drain cleaner with automatic feed makes clearing small drain lines faster and easier. The power cable feeding system is like having an extra hand in tight and awkward places. Just squeeze the lever and the cable feeds at a rate of up to 16 feet per minute.

The Power-Vee easily unclogs sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry drains ranging from 1-1/4″ to 3″ diameter and at a distance of up to 50 ft. The automatic feed instantly adjusts to take any cable from 1/4″ to 3/8″ without requiring the use of tools or additional parts.

The Power-Vee also features quick-change cable cartridges for fast cable changing or cleaning, a Dyna-Thrust™ bearing system to reduce bearing wear and extend the life of the tool, and an ergonomically designed aluminum drum that resists corrosion.

The optional Handy-Stand™ turns the Power-Vee into a practical countertop or floor machine.  The ergonomically balanced Handy-Stand enhances the drain cleaner’s versatility, safety and stability. The optional Uni-Stand makes it easier to access clogged drains under sink cabinets.

Flexicore® cables are made of heavy gauge wire that is coiled tightly around 49-strand aircraft-type wire rope and heat treated. It has unequalled strength and the right amount of flexibility.  Flexicore is so tough it carries a one-year warranty against defects or breakage.

Reliable. Sustainable. Smart

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, the industry’s largest supplier of cleaner water solutions for drinking water, hygiene and sustainable water management, launched new Zurn Hydro•X Power® flush valves and faucets with EZ Gear Technology to enhance Zurn’s complete line of total restroom solutions.

Zurn offers a complete line of innovative and reliable products engineered to deliver on style and performance. Thoughtful, innovative fixtures help customers meet sustainability goals with minimal environmental impact. The new, next-level faucets and flush valves add efficiency to your workplace.

Pair Hydro•X faucets and flush valves to maximize sustainability goals and reduce waste without compromising on design. Hydro•X Power technology delivers renewable, uninterrupted hydropower designed to last the life expectancy of a commercial restroom. With each use, water flowing through the faucet generates and stores renewable hydropower with no interruptions, allowing you to meet your sustainability goals more easily. The new faucets and flush valves also come with Zurn’s EZ Gear technology, which uses a gear-driven ceramic cartridge that is less susceptible to debris and buildup for easy maintenance and outperforms temperamental solenoids.

The new sensor faucets are compatible with the new Bluetooth app, plumbPRO™ by Zurn Elkay, that comes standard for point-of-use wireless programmable metering, on-demand or automatic line flushing, timeout and sensor sensitivity settings. The fixtures have a soft-close design that eliminates water hammer for a quieter time at the sink. No-delay touchless sensor water activation is intuitive for an effortless hand washing experience.

Zurn’s new hydropower sensor flush valves have a heavy-duty construction with a highly polished chrome finish to provide long-term durability and vandal resistance in a contemporary design. They also utilize the industry-leading, triple filtered AquaVantage® diaphragm. Gaskets and seals are made of chemical-resistant thermoplastic elastomer, which lasts 8-10 times longer than traditional rubber, reducing maintenance costs. For on-demand flushing, a true mechanical override button comes standard on all units.

Zurn’s Hydro•X Power flush valves and faucets with EZ Gear deliver a winning combination of a gear-driven ceramic cartridge and hydropower. The result is a superior restroom experience paired with an attractive design, so you compromise on nothing.

Prevent basement flooding and messy floors with the Flood-Guard™ from General Pipe Cleaners.

Heavy rains, snow melt, and ice jams from rough winters and warm springs can cause seasonal structure flooding. So can year-round precipitation and runoff in urban districts, coastal regions, flood plains, shorelines, and areas adjacent to rivers, lakes, and lagoons.

Flood-Guard helps protect property in all those flood-prone locations.

Available for 2”, 3”, and 4” floor drains, Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to seal off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers. Water flows normally through the drain until the sewer begins to back up. The Flood-Guard float then rises to seal off the drain opening until water recedes.

A screwdriver and a couple minutes are all you need to install Flood-Guard. Once in place, it can prevent property damage – and ugly clean up jobs! Flood-Guard is also available in a stand pipe model for handling extreme, extended pressure.
