Reed Manufacturing double-squeeze PE squeeze-off tool
REED Manufacturing offers well-designed tools for stopping flow in 1/2- to 8-inch PE pipe. Double-bar PE squeeze-off tools provide two pinch points to increase squeeze confidence and yield optimal flow control, and are reliable and safe tools to use in a ditch. New designs remove operator pain points with reduced weight and durable construction, including hand grooves for lifting, reduced weight, and low-effort squeeze. Sliding bar handles and swing-out bottom bars make for efficient work in tight spaces. Fine-pitched feed screw thread and custom ball bearing allow for a consistent, smooth squeeze. Grease fittings at friction points make operation smooth and extend tool life. All PE squeeze tools use positive stops to prevent damage caused by over-squeezing. Multiple size/SDR settings on one pair of stops provide convenient over-squeeze protection for standard pipe sizes. 800-666-3691; www.reedmfgco.com

Superior Signal smoke testing systems reduce wet-weather peak flows
Superior Signal’s smoke testing systems help reduce wet-weather SSOs and surface inflow. Superior’s smoke candles, fluid and smoke blowers are designed to test sanitary sewers quickly, efficiently and economically. The smoke blowers can be used with smoke candles or fluid to detect common sources of surface inflow and other faults. Classic smoke candles provide highly visible smoke to find more faults at a longer distance. The Superior 3C Classic smoke candle produces a volume of 40,000 cubic feet of smoke in just three minutes. Join multiple W3C smoke candles to create larger volumes of smoke visible for a longer time. Superior’s smoke fluid systems offer a liquid-based alternative for mainline sewer inspection and feature an insulated heating chamber with a stainless steel injector to maximize dry smoke output. Since 1961, Super Signal’s cost-effective methods have found sources of leaks and odors. Superior’s smoke products are made in the U.S., meet WEF and NASSCO standards and are widely used in tests to meet EPA, ASHRAE, OSHA and NFPA standards. www.superiorsignal.com/mss; 732-251-0800
