Franklin Electric Series VI line of 4-inch submersible pumps

Franklin Electric transitioned its Water Horse 4-inch submersible pump line to a new and enhanced hydraulic design that’s been re-engineered using the latest techniques available to improve fluid flow efficiencies. The Franklin Electric Series VI pumps feature an extensive use of stainless steel and engineered composite components that are ideally suited for longevity in clean water pumping applications. Internally, each pump is driven by a stainless steel, 7/16-inch hex shaft, and is securely connected to the motor through a spline coupling for efficient power distribution. Additionally, each pump discharge head is supplied with a built-in check valve to allow for a more reliable installation. Series VI pumps will be available in eight performance ranges: 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 22 or 26 gpm with horsepower ranges from 0.5 through 5. 866-271-2859; www.franklinengineered.com

Wright Tool Wright Grip 2.0 wrench design

Wright Tool’s Wright Grip 2.0 wrench design has more steel-to-fastener contact in high-stress areas to stiffen the jaws, increase tool strength and reduce permanent jaw spread. The new design keeps the wrench from slipping to ensure the user’s safety. Wright Grip 2.0 provides more torque with less fastener damage, distributing stress evenly over a larger contact area and away from the fastener corners. The design incorporates a series of strategically placed teeth or grooves on the insides of the wrench’s two jaws. These teeth allow for a better seating of the wrench on a fastener. One fastener corner locks into the groove so the fastener won’t slip or twist out of the wrench under load. Precision-placed protrusions are custom engineered for each wrench size to keep it seated on the fastener, increase torque and reduce slippage. 800-321-2902; www.wrighttool.com
