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.

Powers today launched the LFLM496-HTK, a mixing valve that installs on a hot water tank to increase hot water capacity by providing greater control over water temperature and flow. 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 Read more
Powers today launched the LFLM496-HTK, a mixing valve that installs on a hot water tank to increase hot water capacity by providing greater control over water temperature and flow. 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.

Aug 25, 2016 10:00 AM. The wide range of tanks, process liquids and conditions requires appropriate technologies to provide consistent filling level information. With the right level measurement equipment nothing is easier than that. GF Piping Systems offers an advanced technology with the non-contact radar level transmitter type 2290 and guided radar level transmitter type 2291.
GF Piping Systems closes a gap in its offering with the new radar level transmitters type 2290/2291 for the chemical process industry and water treatment. They are used in challenging tank applications where other contacting or non-contacting measuring principles face limitations.
The level transmitter type 2290 combines all advantages of radar level measurement in a compact and economical unit. Type 2290 is available in a variety of different materials to resist even the most corrosive environments. With its tank mapping function it is easy to block out objects like internal pipes, welding seams, stirrers or heating elements.
If it gets really tough, the guided radar level transmitter type 2291 is the right choice. It provides consistent measurement even in turbulent process vessels. The radar signal is sent down the probe assembly eliminating the interferences caused by low dielectric liquids, heavy fuming, slightly conductive foams or internal tank obstructions.
Both transmitters are optimally suited for applications in harsh environments. Transmitter type 2290 is available with PP or PTFE antennas whilst type 2291 can be delivered with either stainless steel or FEP coated rope or stainless steel or PFA or PP coated rod. The transmitters are equipped with an big LCD display for clear visualization and easy configuration. The communication can be either via HART or analog.
