Smith & Loveless EVERLAST Pump Stations
Smith & Loveless EVERLAST Pump Stations offer ease of operation and maintenance, a high level of operator safety, long-lasting service life, pump technology that eliminates clogging from flushables and low life cycle costs. All pumping, mechanical and electrical components are placed above the wet well with immediate access at ground level. This means that the STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps reside at ground level out of the sewage and are always dry. Likewise, all the valves, piping and controls reside above the wet well, meaning that inspection of the entire pump station can be accomplished in mere seconds by simply opening the hooded enclosure. 800-898-9122; www.smithandloveless.com
Pipe Fusion
McElroy TracStar iSeries
The TracStar 412i and TracStar 618i from McElroy are designed to boost operator confidence and efficiency while also ensuring welds are performed accurately and according to standard. Utilizing the FusionGuide control system, these medium-diameter machines provide users with three levels of control during the fusion process. Each level offers varying degrees of assistance from manual control to fully automatic fusion. All fusion functions, including setting machine pressures, carriage open/close and shift sequence, are performed using the DataLogger, a ruggedized fusion tablet. In addition to controlling machine functions, the DataLogger records fusion parameters and other pertinent data during the fusion process. 918-836-8611; www.mcelroy.com
Pipe Parts, Fittings and Components
Reed Manufacturing Guillotine Pipe Cutters
Guillotine Pipe Cutters from Reed are designed to cut PE pipe within 1/8 inch of square on medium and high-density pipe. The manual guillotine-style cutter slices smoothly through polyethylene. Three models cover from 1 1/2- to 12-inch pipe diameters. Accurate cuts mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. These tools leave a smooth cut surface. A durable, nonstick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. A slight taper on the blade allows an easy start to the cut and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace, according to the maker. 814-452-3691; www.reedmfgco.com

Pump Parts/Components
Duperon Washer Compactor Discharge Extension Option
The Duperon Washer Compactor Discharge Extension Option is designed to transport discharge debris up to 40 feet in any direction, even vertically, eliminating the need for additional motor-driven conveyance systems. Unlike conventional discharge extensions that rely on friction or added horsepower to move material, it uses engineered discharge chute geometry to work with the washer compactor’s dual auger-generated backpressure. Fully compacted and dewatered screenings advance naturally through the extension without added drives, moving parts or increased resistance, reducing the risk of jamming while maintaining consistent throughput. Ideal for retrofit installations and sites with challenging constraints, it delivers meaningful cost savings by reducing the length of the bar screen extending multiple levels — transporting the debris to the discharge location instead, eliminating additional conveyance, motors and associated maintenance and eliminating manual labor and debris handling of captured screenings. 800-383-8479; www.duperon.com
Orenco Systems Biotube Low-Head Pump Vault
The Biotube Low-Head Pump Vault with filter from Orenco Systems is a drop-in solution to improve filtration and protect drainfields, even when solids accidentally pass through the treatment system.

Mueller Jones J7000 Break Check Valve
The Jones J7000 Break Check Valve from Mueller can be easily fitted to any Jones wet barrel hydrant. If a vehicle strikes a hydrant, the valve slowly closes automatically to minimize water hammer and protect infrastructure and property damage. This automatic shut-off can reduce water loss by 90% or more. It emits a mist of water providing notification that an accident has occurred so crews can quickly get the hydrant back in service. The valve has ductile iron and stainless steel construction with e-coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and NSF 61-certified internal coating. Rated at 350 psig, it’s designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed AWWA C503 and C550 requirements. The valve’s orifice-free body eliminates potential leak paths while maintaining minimal pressure drop (less than 0.5 psi at 500 gpm). Its FDA-compliant, NSF H1-registered oil-filled piston assembly dampens pressure surges when closing, reducing water hammer to 25 psi or less. 800-423-1323; www.joneswaterproducts.com
Oatey 4 in. PVC Backwater Valve
The Oatey 4 in. PVC Backwater Valve is a sewage check valve designed to prevent pumped water from flowing back into the basin. The valve has an elastomeric seal inside the flapper that ensures a tight seal, preventing fluid from entering. Additionally, it can accommodate access sleeves made of Schedule 40 pipe, has hub-by-hub solvent welded connections and can protect low areas or basements from backflow or waste from street sewers. The threaded access cap incorporates a neoprene seal for positive sealing and can be tightened or removed by hand. The valve fits DWV pipe and can be adapted for sewer and drain pipes. It also comes in a 3-inch size and is offered in ABS or PVC material. 800-321-9532; www.oatey.com
PROCO ProFlex 710TT Rubber Check Valves
ProFlex 710TT Rubber Check Valves from PROCO ensure 100% mixing capability in potable water and reservoir/storage tanks. The torsional flow design provides a unique spinning motion, which has never been offered before and is a standalone feature. Its operational values require less head pressure and less pump energy. The valve operates on a similar principle to wind turbines, where increased pitch results in faster spinning, optimizing flow patterns to significantly reduce blending times and costs. Designed to bolt directly to existing flanges or new installations, the valve is a fully passive flow device requiring no maintenance or outside sources of power or manual assistance to operate. Rubber check valves will handle large obstructions without jamming or having swing gates bind open. Advanced software is utilized to design tanks of any shape, enabling precise calculations for blend times, valve locations, sizes and quantities, ensuring optimal blending practices. 800-344-3246; www.procoproducts.com
