WEATHER GUARD®, the industry leader in work truck equipment, has introduced 38 new Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes with an updated, modern appearance and advanced technology to enhance the user experience. The new truck tool boxes build upon the unmatched protection WEATHER GUARD is known for by offering industry-leading benefits, including One Key Simplicity, a high-security locking system, a modernized sloped lid, and PowerSync™ Technology compatibility.
“At WEATHER GUARD, we are always advancing our products to deliver maximum durability and superior performance to ensure increased customer productivity and peace of mind,” said Mike Bykowski, Director of Product Management at WEATHER GUARD. “The new WEATHER GUARD Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes combine forward-thinking technology with an updated design for our professional users.”
Simple and Secure WEATHER GUARD Product Enhancements
To help streamline end-users day-to-day tasks, the new WEATHER GUARD Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes incorporate a new push lock. The new 1KEY ULTRALOCK from WEATHER GUARD combines superior break-in protection with one key simplicity allowing one key to work across all truck boxes. The new 1KEY ULTRALOCK will also enable distributors to serve customers faster with no extended lead times for special fleet orders.
The WEATHER GUARD 1KEY ULTRALOCK also offers the highest level of security. It includes a 6-plate tumbler that prevents picking and bumping and a large cylinder for added defense. The automotive-grade, weather-resistant shutter helps protect the lock against damage from the elements.
Modern Details for Today’s Tough Construction Environments
The new Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes feature a sleek design with a sloped lid reinforced with a 0.9 aluminum channel, which increases security by fortifying the box and helps prevent break-ins through lid damage. The lid is easier to use, featuring optimized latching systems and requiring less force to close. In addition, all Saddle and Lo-Side truck tool boxes now feature enhanced tie-down buckles offering larger clearance for universal or multiple straps. And, all WEATHER GUARD boxes arrive pre-drilled, simplifying installation for distributors and end-users.
WEATHER GUARD uses a powder coat finish for lasting durability and reliability. For extra truck personalization, the boxes are available in a new color: Gunmetal Gray. This is in addition to the current range of colors, including white, gloss black, clear (silver), and textured matte black.
Advanced PowerSync Technology
WEATHER GUARD truck boxes are known for their advanced security and technology features, and the new Saddle and Low-Side boxes are no exception. The truck storage boxes are compatible with the company’s innovative PowerSync Technology, a family of state-of-the-art accessories that enhance the WEATHER GUARD boxes to a fully integrated vehicle storage solution. This includes an assortment of coming soon accessories including: enhanced PowerSync Interior truck box Lights and Remote Keyless Entry.
The updated PowerSync lights feature a long-life LED, 160o full box coverage, and reduced glare for optimal visibility. An automatic switch only powers on when the truck box is open, saving energy and power. Automotive-grade connectors offer professional-grade protection from dust and water while impact-resistant housing guards against bumps and rough terrain. The interior truck box lights feature a quick connect, easy install wire harness, and take no more than 30 minutes to configure.
End users can easily access the truck tool boxes with PowerSync’s Remote Keyless Entry. Not only can the remote control up to three boxes on the same key FOB, but it can also open truck boxes from as far as 25 feet away to eliminate the hassle of using keys. For increased durability, an automotive-grade actuator and controller are designed to resist weather conditions.
The new WEATHER GUARD Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes are now available nationally. In addition, PowerSync Accessories will be available for purchase in October. To further educate audiences on how to utilize and install the new features, WEATHER GUARD has added additional “How To” videos to its YouTube channel including “How to Code the Lock” and updated installation videos for mounting and PowerSync installation.

When selecting your next Y-strainer, consider upgrading to the new Pro-Pal® Ball Drain Strainer™ from Webstone, a brand of NIBCO®. Designed to protect the system against debris in the pipes, this patent-pending valve combines a Y-strainer, ball valve, and hi-flow hose drain. Its forged brass construction takes the place of eight individual components; eliminating assemblies needed to isolate, drain, and separate loose particles from the flow. Its flexible design can be installed in a vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on your system’s needs.
The Ball Drain Strainer allows you to isolate the strainer from upstream flow, simplifying the servicing of the strainer port without the need for additional assemblies. During normal operation, the main valve is open to create a straight flow path which allows debris to fall into the plugged blow down port. To remove accumulation, simply close the valve to restrict the flow from the port, unscrew the strainer cap, and clean the debris from the screen. The exclusive multi-function flow path is also ideal for diverting fluid into the drain from either side of the ball. With a turn of the handle, you can choose between a variety of applications including draining before or after the ball, flushing the valve with fresh water, or flushing with reverse flow from the system.
The Ball Drain Strainer is available in sizes ½” to 1¼” in press or FIP connections. It features lead-free dezincification resistant forged brass construction, replaceable 20 mesh screens, and O-ring sealed and plugged strainer port for easy removal of the filter and installation of the drain valve.

“PRIER invented the first self-closing freezeless faucets in 1946,” said Research & Development Manager, Scott Brady. “Today, we launched the world’s first freezeless shower, which happens to coincide with the anniversary of the launch of a U.S. spacecraft to the moon in 1969.”

From tropical beauty to privacy screens, bamboo is a versatile plant that can be added to any environment.
The C-108SH1 kit is fully compatible with the C-108 hot and cold freezeless hydrant from PRIER. The shower kit is self-draining and comes with everything needed for installation, including a standard MPT shower head and mounting hardware. The stainless-steel riser will maintain an attractive finish for many years.
“We’re excited to launch this new product,” said President, Nick Manning. “I had a conversation with a customer in Belknap County New Hampshire last fall who wished he could shower after a swim in Lake Winnipesaukee. He was concerned about his exterior shower freezing during the cool winter months. We delivered on our promise and believe this will be a highly sought-after product, especially for our customers in the land of 10,000 lakes, along the coastlines and areas subject to freezing temperatures.”

“We’ve had amazing demand for the TrueTemp hydrant. Now we offer a similar hydrant in a single-temperature version to match the style of the hot and cold TrueTemp P-118,” said Research & Development Manager, Scott Brady. “Recently we had a homebuilder install seven hydrants on a home and the homeowner loved them. The homeowners desired to match the décor of the house and existing hot and cold hydrant.”
The new CoolTemp is available in an oil-rubbed bronze or satin nickel finish to match surrounding home decor. The patented design has an ergonomic, rubber grip handle for easy operation. Each hydrant is freezeproof, with a self-draining, anti-siphon vacuum breaker and backflow check valve. As with most products offered by PRIER, the new CoolTemp is ASSE code approved.
“This has been a flagship product for PRIER,” said President, Nick Manning. “It’s the most unique design on the market and now part of the PRIER Signature Series.”
