Flomatic wafer-style check valves
Flomatic’s Model 888VFD wafer-style check valves can be close coupled with a butterfly valve, allowing for operation of the butterfly valve in an open or closed position with no interference. Its unique poppet design operates quietly and efficiently across a wide range of flow velocities, which makes it ideal for varying flow rates in VFD-controlled pumping systems. The design helps minimize flow losses and hydraulic shocks in the pump system. The spring-loaded poppet system is guided in an oversized sleeve for stability, resulting in quiet and efficient operation regardless of flow rate. The valve begins to close as flow is reduced and fully closes at zero velocity stopping reverse flow, helping to reduce water hammer shock. It is suitable for direct mounting of butterfly valves, eliminating the need for a 2- to 6-inch spool piece. The valves save energy and maintenance costs, and are rated NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372, and they meet MSS-SP 125. 800-833-2040; www.flomatic.com.
REED Bevel Boss cordless pipe bevelers
REED’s Bevel Boss cordless pipe bevelers provide a safe way to bevel pipe in the field. Bevel Boss trims small- to large-diameter plastic pipe, including pipe already in the ditch. Powered by a die grinder of operator’s choice, the lightweight system significantly reduces prep time by quickly and consistently beveling on multiple cuts. Adjustable for bevel length up to 1 inch, the required carbide router bits cut evenly and efficiently. Plus, the guide plate eliminates guesswork and yields a consistent result. The RPMs from the powerful die grinder provide smooth cuts when paired with REED router bits. The pipe beveler adapts to cut pipe interiors, too. To create internal bevels, add the REED interior bevel shroud with guide plate, CPBIDS. 800-666-3691; www.reedmfgco.com.
