SFA Saniflo Sanipit 24 GR retrofit pump kit
Designed to replace faulty sewage pumps and its components from major manufacturers in North America, the new Sanipit 24GR offers an easy, mess-free and reliable replacement solution. The new retrofit pump kit offers a built-in 1 hp grinder motor and air pressure mechanism that fits most 24-inch basins. With the ability to retrofit into 24-inch basins from Liberty Pumps, Zoeller and Myers, the pump kit offers versatility and compatibility with existing pump systems. The current basin stays in place while the Sanipit 24GRs retrofit cover easily adapts to it. One of the key differentiators of the Sanipit 24GR is its ability to create a dry cavity within the pit. SFA Saniflo’s design keeps the components and the motor separate, ensuring a hassle-free and mess-free experience for plumbing installers and service technicians. 800-571-8191; www.saniflo.com
HammerHead Trenchless Heliam Scrim liner
The Heliam Scrim liner by HammerHead is a reinforced liner that minimizes longitudinal stretch and assures accurate inversion lengths. It is engineered to reduce overshooting, allowing users to hit an exact mark without going into the main or needing to remove excess liner. The product requires lower inversion pressure, making it easier to invert onsite. The Heliam can be used with all curing methods, a trait that is reflected in the name: heat (HE); light cure (LI) and ambient (AM). Currently available in 4-inch and 6-inch diameters, Heliam Scrim is suitable for straight shot applications and bends up to 45 degrees. The product will be available in either dry rolls or prewet-out options and sold in two roll lengths: 165 feet and 330 feet. 800-331-6653; www.hammerheadtrenchless.com
Watts ArmorTek advanced coating system for ACVs
The ArmorTek advanced coating system for ACVs from Watts comes with an eight-year microbiologically induced corrosion warranty. The technology is now available on Watts Classic and Mustang valves, providing three layers of protection to create an effective barrier, dramatically increasing resistance to corrosion. Watts ArmorTek includes an anti-corrosion primer containing an electrochemical corrosion inhibitor that significantly slows the spread of corrosion should the metal substrate become exposed from wear or impact. It also features a microbial inhibitor which curbs the growth of bacteria that causes microbial-induced corrosion. This further slows the spread of corrosion and limits the growth of tubercles that can clog or foul downstream equipment. ArmorTek also has a robust topcoat specially designed to bond to the primer below, providing a high-strength barrier between the iron substrate and water. 978-688-1811; www.watts.com
