Taco Hot-LinkPlus | Link Up To Instant Hot Water Comfort!

Taco has another exciting new addition to their growing family of Domestic Hot Water Recirculation comfort products, the Hot-LinkPlus™.

Hot-LinkPlus combines the advanced capabilities of their SmartPlus™ with the convenience and reliability of their Hot-Link™ bypass valve in one convenient product.

Hot-LinkPlus provides a simple, easily-installed, reliable solution to growing water shortage problems. It helps to save the average family of four up to 12,000 gallons of water annually. And it is 94% more energy efficient than standard recirculation circulators.

How It Works
Hot-LinkPlus has two operational modes to fit the needs of any household. In "Smart" mode, it monitors and records the home's hot water usage pattern. In optional Pulse mode, the circulator pulses periodically to maintain hot water at all fixtures. In Vacation mode, which is automatically activated when Hot-LinkPlus detects no water use for 36 hours, the circulator turns off, and activates for ten seconds every seven days to prevent corrosion and scale buildup. The Hot-LinkPlus bypass valve's unique thermal disk technology sends cooled water back to the water heater so hot water lines remain hot.

Easy To Install
First, install the Hot-LinkPlus bypass valve at the faucet furthest away from the water heater. Then install the Hot-LinkPlus circulator at the water heater. Once installed connect the temperature sensor to the hot water supply pipe and plug the 6' power cord into any standard 120V electrical outlet. Everything needed to install and operate the system is in the box.

High Intensity Ceramic Infrared Heaters

Modine’s high intensity ceramic infrared heater is approved for indoor unvented installation. It does not utilize a fan, thus eliminating noise and draft distractions. Gas and power connections are simple and maintenance is inexpensive, since there are no moving parts to maintain. Available controls include Direct Spark Ignition, Self-Generating Millivolt, and Intermittent Pilot (non-100% shut-off).

Modine’s MHR series heaters include the following features:

1. Rugged aluminized steel frame 
2. High temperature diamond-faced ceramic tiles provide maximum heat transfer 
3. Polished aluminum reflector efficiently directs infrared rays to desired area 
4. Corrosion resistant type 330 stainless steel screen re-radiates infrared rays back to ceramic tile for increased heat transfer, and protects ceramic tile from foreign objects 
5. MADE IN THE USA

The New Face Of Powers Showers

Powers has put a new face on its two most popular HydroGuard® bath and shower valves. The new e420 combination T/P and PB410 pressure balancing series valves now feature contemporary trim with stylized metal face plates and ADA-compliant metal handles. More importantly, each series now incorporates integrated checkstops to prevent the occurrence of cross flow in the event of unequal water pressures. Trim design is further enhanced by the absence of exposed screws making the new series better suited for hotels, multi-family dwellings, hospitals and assisted living facilities. Both series are ASSE 1016 listed and CSA certified and will be incorporated into HydroPanels as well.

T/P Total Protection: Temperature and Pressure

• Rugged brass construction suited for the most demanding installation 
• Provides true protection against pressure and temperature changes 
• Eliminates time and cost for seasonal limit stop adjustments 
• Won’t stick or seize due to harsh water conditions 
• Self-contained cartridge installs in minutes to simplify repairs 
• ASSE 1016 Type T/P listed and CSA B125 certified

Heavy Duty Pressure Balancing Protection

• Proven reliable diaphragm-and-poppet cartridge design won’t stick, seize or corrode due to harsh water conditions 
• Rugged commercial grade four-port bronze casting with brass bonnet and metal-to-metal, temperature limit stop 
• Integral check stops for easy access and maintenance 
• Compact design fits into as little as 2" wall depth 
• Back-to-back installation without costly cross-over piping 
• ASSE 1016 listed and CSA B125 certified 
• Won’t stick or seize due to harsh water conditions Self-contained cartridge installs in minutes to simplify maintenance

A Great Way To Clean Up Your Crawl Space

Viper CS, from Insulation Solutions, is a great way to clean up your crawl space!

Traditional dirt crawl spaces are full of moisture that enters via evaporation and diffusion through the floor and sidewalls. An important part of a crawl space moisture control strategy is the installation of a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier provides the crawl space with a moisture and soil gas protection layer that decreases the amount of moisture and radon present in the crawl space.

This greatly reduces the risk for:

1. Mold/Mildew
2. Wood Rot
3. Floor Failure
4. Decreased R-Value
5. Increased Heating Bills
6. Odor
7. Poor Air Quality

Viper CS is a "Class A" vapor barrier with excellent physical characteristics, including high puncture resistance, high tensile strength and low water vapor permeance. It will prevent ground moisture from entering the crawl space when installed on the walls and floor, greatly reducing the negative effects of a moisture laden crawl space.

The New Little Giant Pit+Plus Basin

The new Little Giant Pit+Plus® Basin is an advanced, installation and service-friendly sewage basin option for plumbing contractors. The Little Giant Pit+Plus features a monolithic top to separate and promote the three key areas of a sewage package – the pump, switch and plumbing connections which can be accessed independently. Still offered with the common float switch, the system was recently redesigned to incorporate the extremely reliable and new ECM™ (External Control Module) switch option. It contains a ‘bell’ inside the basin to monitor liquid level for switch operation outside the basin, isolated from the liquid. This reduces any chance of water intrusion, which can result in switch failure. No moving switch parts inside the basin eliminates failure from ‘hang-ups’.

Included

• Molded inlet hub 
• Molded anti-torque stops 
• 360° molded handle 
• Integrated anti-flotation collar 
• Stainless steel fasteners 
• Optional alarm versions
