Find Sources of Sewer and Plumbing Odors and Inflow with Superior 5E Smoke Blower
Smoke testing is a cost-effective solution ideal for hard-to-find odors, leaks and other faults in commercial, residential and municipal facilities. It’s a quick and effective way to find plumbing faults when testing laterals and building plumbing. The Superior 5E Electric Smoke Blower gently pushes smoke throughout the system to find cracks, leaks and quickly identify problems. It takes only minutes to set up the blower and seconds to see the results. Superior’s 5E Electric Smoke Blower easily connects to any clean-out, port or vent to smoke test the entire system. Made in the USA, the durable 5E is complete with 8 feet of industrial grade hose. Use with 1A or 2B Superior smoke candles which create 4,000 or 8,000 cubic feet of smoke, respectively. Superior’s smoke candles are also sold in convenient SealPac cans which extend shelf life. 732-251-0800; www.superiorsignal.com/MS5

ADS AV|Max monitoring sensor
The AV|Max is the newest sensor in ADS Environmental Services’ flow monitoring sensor family. The AV|Max is an area-velocity sensor for the ADS TRITON+ monitors. The wetted sensor is installed directly in the pipe flow to provide consistent, high-quality data collection capability. Its low-profile, impact-resistant polycarbonate housing with recessed sensors brings new levels of durability in sewer flows. The sensor design is tested and proven to collect accurate and consistent data in depths from 1 to 60 inches and in flows of up to 30 feet per second. In areas of intermittent no-flows (dry-pipe) ADS recommends the AV|Max Sensor can be used in combination with one of ADS’ non-contact sensors. The sensor measures four key parameters: depth — using ultrasonic UpDepth, depth — pressure, velocity — continuous wave ultrasonic Doppler and water temperature. 877-237-9585; www.adsenv.com
