Full bath suite blends geometric shapes for contemporary sophistication
Answering consumer desires for modern, urban bath design, the new Zura™ bath collection from Delta Faucet is constructed to deliver a precise marriage of rounded, rectangular and triangular elements. The geometric shapes effortlessly blend together, creating a collection that is every bit as contemporary and sophisticated as it is innovative.
The Delta® Zura bath collection features deck mount lavatory faucets in a split Matte Black and Chrome finish, adding to an extensive line of finish options offered by Delta Faucet. The collection also features a luxurious pendant raincan showerhead with H2Okinetic® Technology. For added convenience, single–handle and vessel faucets are equipped with optional Touch2O.xt® Technology. The entire faucet serves as a sensor with this technology, allowing water flow to be turned on and off with a simple touch to the faucet’s spout, hub or handle. Alternatively, the faucet can be operated in hands-free mode that senses your presence within 4” and automatically shuts off within seconds once hands are removed.
“When creating this collection, we wanted to deliver a full suite that was unique in both design and functionality,” said Clinton Cardinal, Delta product manager. “As a result, the Zura collection offers a transformative style that gives consumers a chic metropolitan look with transformative technologies.”
In addition to Touch2O.xt Technology, the Zura collection’s features include:
- DIAMOND™ Seal Technology, which combines a durable DIAMOND Valve with InnoFlex® PEX waterways. The valve requires no lubrication, eliminates wear on seals, and ensures “like new” operation for the life of the faucet, lasting up to 10 times the industry standard.1 The InnoFlex waterways eliminate potential leak points and are less hassle to install.
- MultiChoice® Universal Valve installation, which ensures future shower function upgrades or style changes can easily be made without altering plumbing behind the wall.
- H2Okinetic Technology, which creates a shower experience like no other. Each showerhead and handshower contains an internal system that sculpts the water into a unique wave pattern, creating a consumer-proven feeling of more water, all without using more water. All showerheads in the Zura bath collection feature H2Okinetic technology.
- WaterSense® 2 Delta Faucet Company takes its role as a WaterSense® partner seriously and is committed to working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to encourage efficient use of water resources and actively protect the future of our nation’s water supply. All lavatory faucets in this collection meet WaterSense requirements, flowing at a rate that is less than the industry standard of 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm).3
The Zura bath collection offers a variety of faucet configurations, including:
- Single-handle and vessel faucets with optional Touch2O.xt Technology
- Two-handle widespread faucets
- Single- and two-handle wall mount faucets
The bath suite includes tub and shower faucets, showerheads, handshowers, body sprays, a unique floor-mount tub filler, a bidet and coordinating accessories. In addition to the split Matte Black and Chrome finish, the collection is available in Chrome, Polished Nickel and Brilliance® Stainless finishes. For more information, visit deltafaucet.com.

Bosch-exclusive KickBack Control meets high performance motor and rugged design
When the job calls for more power and maximum reliability, professional users can’t miss with Bosch’s latest 18V drill/driver and hammer drill/driver offerings. Both the Bosch DDH183 18V EC Brushless Brute Tough™ ½ In. Drill/Driver and HDH183 18V EC Brushless Brute Tough™ ½ In. Hammer Drill/Driver pack more features than their predecessors, including injury-mitigating KickBack Control and an improved ergomonic design.
- Click to Tweet: .@BoschToolsNA launches new 18V Brute Tough™ drill & hammer drill/drivers with KickBack Control http://ctt.ec/8c15i+ #PowerTools
With both the DDH183 drill/driver and HDH183 hammer drill/driver delivering 663 In.-Lbs. of torque at two speeds (0-2100 rpm high speed; 0-480 rpm for high torque), professionals can pack serious power in a lightweight, cordless package.
That’s why both Brute Tough models feature Bosch-exclusive KickBack Control, an integrated acceleration sensor that virtually stops the drill’s rotation during bit bind-up situations. This feature helps reduce the risk of user injury, and a new LED light shows when KickBack Control is activated or the tools overload protection is activated. In addition, the new drivers offer 25+1 precision clutch settings, which provide driving accuracy for reduced fastener and workpiece damage.
“Professionals today expect the power and longevity of a corded tool in a cordless package,” said Mats Stellnert, group product manager, Robert Bosch Tool Corporation. “The Bosch DDH183 drill/driver and HDH183 hammer drill/driver deliver the power our users demand while including advanced features like KickBack Control and the precision clutch. It’s these incremental benefits to the user that set Bosch tools apart.”
Advanced user benefits continue with DDH183 and HDH183 power, which is driven by an efficient EC brushless motor that provides 2X longer tool life than a standard motor, longer runtimes and virtually no maintenance. The Brute Tough design also ensures a shorter head length and a lighter tool with no reduction in power. That’s combined with an upgraded all-metal chuck that delivers durability and strong bit retention. The Bosch-exclusive Durashield™ housing adds to overall tool durability for the toughest applications and jobsites. In addition, improved handle geometry offers a comfortable grip throughout the workday.
The Bosch Flexible Power System is one of the most versatile Lithium-ion battery platforms available. The system offers complete compatibility by allowing 18V FatPack and SlimPack batteries to be used with any tool. And Bosch 18V batteries feature CoolPack technology, which offers a heat conductive housing to keep batteries cooler for superior runtime and up to 2X longer life. All Bosch batteries provide cold weather performance to -4°F, as well as an integrated fuel gauge.
Bosch’s Electronic Motor Protection and Electronic Cell Protection prevent the tool and batteries from overload and overheating.
As with all Bosch cordless tools, the DDH183 and HDH183 come with Bosch ProVantage, a protection plan that extends coverage against defects to three years (expanded coverage in the first 12 months of standard warranty), plus two-year battery coverage.

The AquaBalance High Efficiency Combi-Boiler Brings Heat and Hot Water into Perfect Balance.
Energy-efficient, reliable, space-saving unit features leading-edge condensing technology for residential applications
Weil-McLain® introduces the new AquaBalance™ combination boiler featuring leading-edge hydronic technology for smaller space residential applications. The state-of-the-art unit combines the warmth of high-efficiency space heating and the convenience of on-demand domestic hot water in a reliable, space-saving, easy-to-install package.
With a capacity of 155,000 BTUH input, the AquaBalance combi-boiler produces a constant supply of hot water with up to four gallons per minute (GPM) at 70 degrees F. temperature rise.
Featuring 94.4% AFUE energy efficiency, and the industry’s latest stainless steel, titanium-infused heat exchanger technology, the AquaBalance is ENERGY STAR®-rated to deliver maximum operational cost savings to homeowners and provide qualification for local utility rebates, if available.
The unit is ideal for retrofits or new construction in single-family homes, apartments or condominiums.
“The AquaBalance has a wide range of advanced features to deliver energy efficient, worry-free space heat and domestic hot water in a sleek, compact design that’s small enough to fit in a closet,” said Mike Boyd, product manager with Weil-McLain. “The unit’s high-efficiency condensing technology has the power to supply hydronic heat for up to a 2,500 square-foot home and enough hot water to run two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously.”
The combination boiler features an aesthetically pleasing design and simple, user-friendly controls to make installation and operation easy for contractors and homeowners.
“The AquaBalance unit also streamlines the installation process as it eliminates the need to hook up a separate boiler and hot water tank,” said Boyd. “Fewer pipes and less connection points translate into reduced set up time and a more efficient installation.”
Other features of the AquaBalance include:
- Low NOx rated – low emissions level achieved South Coast certification
- Proven Honeywell® boiler controls with digital display
- Unique 3-in-1 vent adapter approved to accept PVC, CPVC, stainless steel or polypropylene vent materials
- Easy electrical connection points and plug in cord
- Heavy gauge insulated jacket for quiet operation
- Removable sides for easy service
