Pipe Parts/Fittings/Tools
ACME Trenchless Pipe Winch
The ACME Trenchless Pipe Winch makes trenchless pipe pulling quick, routine and easy. It delivers the pulling power needed — 20,000 pounds breakout force — applied to MAX 7/16 pulling cables which have a minimum rated breakpoint of 24,000 pounds. The pulling cables are reusable, and tensioned pulling cable remains inside the confines of the winch frame. It attaches to a compact excavator or backhoe via a quick coupler and will dispatch to the access pit at any approach angle, allowing for the preservation of the original bury depth of the existing waterline. It works with lead, galvanized, copper and plastic piping. 920-376-4222; www.acmetrenchless.com
CUES Currahee Cutters
CUES Currahee Cutters provide a number of solutions for pipe inspection and rehabilitation — from clearing blockages, debris, protruding laterals and roots, to reinstating laterals in a CIPP liner. The cutters function in a range of 5.25- to 12-inch pipe, are equally effective in CIPP or fold-and-form liners, and can be installed on a CUES K2 truck-mounted cutter system. The system performs optimally using 1,000 to 1,500 feet of cable and is operated with the CUES gamepad controller. 800-327-7791; www.cuesinc.com
Pipe Fusion
McElroy TracStar 412i
The TracStar 412i from McElroy is designed to fuse pipe sizes from 4 to 12 inches. It incorporates the FusionGuide Control system seen on other TracStar iSeries models, providing operators with three levels of control during the fusion process. Each level has varying degrees of assistance, from manual control to fully automatic fusion. An indexer keeps the heater and facer attached to the four jaw carriage, condensing the heater, facer and jaws into a single unit. It includes a new, larger-volume hydraulic tank that is secured beneath the machine’s dome. In addition to providing additional cooling, the new design also reduces the risk of accidentally adding the wrong fluid to the hydraulic tank. It is controlled via the DataLogger, a ruggedized tablet that records fusion parameters and other pertinent data during the fusion process. 918-831-9236; www.mcelroy.com

Valves
Asahi/America Type-14 Diaphragm Valve
The Asahi/America Type-14 Diaphragm Valve has a body-to-bonnet seal that isolates bonnet components from the media, while high-visibility position indication with built-in travel stop ensures accurate visual confirmation and minimizes diaphragm strain. The ergonomic handle provides smooth operation, and bubble-tight sealing is achieved even in tough applications with suspended particles or slurries. The valve’s internal weir design controls flow by directing fluid over the raised center where the diaphragm meets the body. Only the thermoplastic valve body, diaphragm and O-rings contact the media, ensuring durability and chemical resistance. The three-layer EPDM/PVDF/PTFE diaphragm offers a gas barrier to protect against corrosive chemicals like sodium hypochlorite. The true-union design simplifies installation and maintenance, while matched O-rings ensure chemical compatibility. Constructed from solid thermoplastic materials, the valve delivers corrosion resistance and is available in both pneumatic and electric actuation options. 800-343-3618; www.asahi-america.com
