EJ DUOSEAL access assembly watertight cover and frame
EJ’s DUOSEAL access assembly is a manhole cover and frame designed to prevent discharge, protect against inflow and suppress odors. It is ideal for flood-prone areas or to prevent unwanted fluids from overflowing due to a surcharge in the system. The bolted, dual-gasket design creates a watertight barrier to contain manhole structures and prevent inflow or overflow. The heavy-duty assembly has been tested to EJ Watertight Level 8, meaning it can withstand 51.45 psi, or approximately 118 feet of water on top of the manhole assembly. The DUOSEAL has a ductile iron cover and gray iron frame. It features stainless steel bolting, closed pick bars and dual 3/8-inch-diameter neoprene O-rings, and it is available in a 30-inch clear opening with 4 1/2-inch frame height. 800-874-4100; www.ejco.com.

Mueller Water Products Hydro-Guard industrial flushing system
Mueller Water Products’ Hydro-Guard industrial flushing is designed for small-diameter waterlines where water-quality conditions, water age or excessive temperatures require water to be turned over frequently. The flush schedule of the system is managed by a Bluetooth controller that is powered by a single 9-volt battery. For more advanced system monitoring and management, the Hydro-Guard can be upgraded to include S.M.A.R.T. water-quality monitoring, an upgrade that triggers flush events when preset levels of chlorine, temperature, pH, turbidity, flow and/or pressure are detected. It can be installed either indoors or outdoors. The Hydro-Guard system comes with a 3/4-inch stainless steel Singer control valve and NSF 372 certified water-quality sampling point. 800-423-1323; www.muellerwaterproducts.com.
Gradall Industries Discovery Series hydraulic excavator models
Gradall Industries has introduced two new Discovery Series hydraulic excavator models, the D172 and D174, that are bigger, more muscular and more productive than the previous D152 and D154 models. The new models benefit from a 36% increase in horsepower, as well as greater torque to increase travel speed, hill-climbing capability and overall productivity. Both new models have Freightliner undercarriages. The D172 has two-wheel drive, while the D174 is a four-wheel-drive machine. Both feature a Gradall upperstructure and a telescoping, full-tilting boom, able to rotate attachments 220 degrees. The low-profile boom design also allows the Discovery Series models to work productively under bridges and in tunnels. 330-339-2211; www.gradall.com.
