As contractors become all too familiar with the damaging effects of iron oxide sludge on today’s high-efficiency commercial hydronic heating and cooling installations, the need for a solution has been growing. ADEY® Professional Heating Solutions is answering that need with the introduction of the MagnaClean Commercial™ Magnetic Filter range to the North American market.
MagnaClean Commercial’s unique, patented magnetic filtration system starts to work immediately upon installation, removing virtually all of the suspended iron oxide that collects in hydronic heating systems. “The removal of iron oxide is facilitated simply by the flow of water through a central magnetic core, which is populated by a series of magnetic rods inside the canister,” says Dr. Neil Watson, ADEY Global Technical Director.
By removing sludge from the system, MagnaClean Commercial restores peak performance and decreases maintenance costs over the life of the system. It also offers a solution for the most common complaints in commercial hydronic systems, including poor system circulation, blocked system pipes and radiators, and excessive system noise.

Milwaukee Tool delivers a game-changing new solution for unclogging toilets, urinals, and floor traps for service plumbers and facility maintenance professionals with the new TRAPSNAKE™ Porcelain Auger System. By offering multiple auger attachments that can be unified on a single power source, TRAPSNAKE™ delivers versatility and capabilities never seen before in a closet auger.
The heart of the system is the M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ Driver. The first powered unit optimized for the challenges of porcelain fixtures, the M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ Driver delivers power and speed to work through tough clogs in tight traps, while protecting the delicate fixture from damage. With optimized electronics that deliver low RPM and low torque, the user is able to feel when engaged with a blockage to retrieve it with control.
“Plumbers and maintenance technicians have always received plenty of service calls for clogged toilets and urinals, but these jobs are becoming more frequent and often a bigger problem with the industry trending towards low-flow fixtures,” said Corey Dickert, Vice President of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “With this trend, it is clear there’s a need for a product that is better at navigating tight turns and breaking down clogs that are tougher than ever before.”
Extending from the M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ Driver, users can choose between a 6’ Toilet Auger and 4’ Urinal Auger extension for the work at hand. All TRAPSNAKE™ Auger attachments feature a number of industry firsts including a telescoping cable lock which holds the cable in place for easy telescoping extension, a fixed rubber boot for maximum porcelain protection, and replaceable cables to maximize the longevity of the tool.
“Aside from the fundamental challenges of the job, there’s a number of upgrades needed to improve protection, ease of use, and the durability of these tools,” Said Dickert. “We’re excited to solve these user frustrations with industry-firsts that truly make this system a game-changing solution.”
With the industry’s first cable locking mechanism, all TRAPSNAKE™ Augers hold the cable in place for easy telescoping extension and retraction, allowing users to utilize additional cable when they need to reach beyond the fixture. When the cable becomes unusable, users can simply replace them versus throwing away the entire auger, as they are accustomed to today. This provides users more cost savings over time, more productivity, and increases the overall longevity of their tool.
For professionals that prefer the traditional hand tool method, the system is also available with the TRAPSNAKE™ Auger Handle, which can be interchanged with the M12 TRAPSNAKE™ Driver for maximum versatility.
Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity for plumbers and maintenance contractors by offering them the ability to perform an entire job on one battery system. The M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ 6’ Toilet Auger and M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ 4’ Urinal Auger are compatible with the entire M12™ System, now offering over 70 cordless Lithium-Ion products – including the recently launched M12™ Drain Snake. The M12™ platform is the largest sub-compact system in the industry, offering innovative portable solutions.

The FLO2 valve division of Greenergy Corporation has successfully completed IAPMO/UPC testing for its new line of wastewater diverter valves.
Manufactured in both ABS and PVC, these valves answer the call for true DW listed diversion in rainwater and greywater recycling systems where until now there has been no option except to use diverters designed for pools and spas. These will be offered with manual or actuated operation.
Using an innovative sweeping ported ball design, FLO2 vales will be available off-the-shelf in 2” and 3” sizes, with sizes up to 6” available upon request. There are also plans for 4 and 5-way configurations.

By harnessing the power, performance and run-time that they are able to deliver through M18 FUEL™ technology*, Milwaukee introduces the M18 FUEL™ 1/4″ Die Grinder. Capable of removing material faster than a corded grinder, the M18 FUEL™ 1/4” Die Grinder can grind for up to 20 minutes on a single charge, has up to 10X longer motor life, and can remove up to 2X more weld than any cordless die grinder on the market for unrivaled productivity. “When faced with a situation that requires grinding in tight spaces or irregular surfaces, mechanical and metal fabrication professionals will most often turn to a die grinder to get the job done. However, the cordless options available in today’s market do not offer the performance or run-time required for prolonged use,” said Andrew Plowman, Vice President of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “Unwilling to settle on sub-par performance, we spent countless hours conducting jobsite research and advancing our technologies until we could introduce a solution that provides a true productivity enhancement with the M18 FUEL™ 1/4” Die Grinder.” By combining three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence- the new M18 FUEL™ 1/4” Die Grinder delivers break-through performance – providing users with the ability to remove material faster than a corded die grinder, and with more power than any cordless die grinder. When equipped with an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Battery Pack the tool provides industry-leading run-time with the ability to grind up to 20 minutes on one charge and remove up to 2X more weld than other cordless die grinders available today. Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor improves the motor life of the tool by up to 10X the competition. The new Die Grinder also features the same metal housing and gearing system responsible for delivering the legendary performance and durability found in Milwaukee’s high performance corded die grinders. This combination of no wearable components and superior durability means users will have to service their tool less, translating to a much lower cost of ownership. Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The new M18 FUEL™ 1/4″ Die Grinder is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 125 power tool products, including a full range of cordless solutions for mechanical and metal fabrication professionals to cut, prep, weld and grind – from the M18 FUEL™ 1-1/2” Magnetic Drill and M18 FUEL™ Grinder to the M18 FUEL™ Deep Cut Band Saw.
* M18 FUEL™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite.
