Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Zurn EZ Flush Sensor Retrofit Kit
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions recently launched the next generation of the EZ Flush Sensor Retrofit Kit. The kit offers a sleek, new look and features. The durable, chrome-plated metal finish is impact-resistant, improving the look of most flush valves while deterring vandalism. The unit is battery powered, sensor operated and features a true mechanical override button to deliver on-demand flushing. The unit’s reliable, gear-driven operation minimizes replacement costs. It also has a toggle feature that allows for optional 24-hour line flushing. Zurn EZ Flush Sensor Retrofit Kits are reliable and easily installed for commercial applications where converting manual flush valves to hands-free operation is desired. The infrared sensor flush activation supports a hygienic restroom experience by eliminating touchpoints and is angled for optimum user detection. The internal sensor and motor components never encounter water, helping to ensure reliable operation for the lifetime of a commercial restroom. 414-808-0100; www.zurnelkay.com

REHAU BSPP to copper press adapters
REHAU expanded its PRO-BALANCE manifold adapter selection with BSPP to copper press adapters for 1- and 1 1/4-inch manifolds. The new adapters connect directly to the PRO-BALANCE manifold supply/return header with a BSPP threaded connection and transition to copper distribution piping using a copper press or solder connection. The press adapters are especially suitable for snow and ice melting applications with an on-site manifold vault separate from the boiler room. Since the adapters provide a direct transition from the manifold to the pipe, mechanical contractors can run copper distribution piping all the way from the boiler room to the manifold vault without the need for additional threaded connections, soldering or valves. 800-247-9445; www.municipex.com
CSI Controls CSION 4X indoor/outdoor alarm system
CSI Controls’ newest tank alarm, the CSION 4X indoor/outdoor alarm system, features a unique front cover design. The system is suitable for lift pump chambers, sump pump basins, holding tanks, sewage, agricultural and other water applications. The NEMA 4X enclosure, designed for ease of installation, is rated for indoor and outdoor use. The enclosure is made of weatherproof engineered thermoplastic to protect against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water and external ice formation. Its c-style red flashing beacon is powered by super bright LEDs for 180-degree visibility. The alarm horn sounds at 90 decibels and can be silenced, but the beacon remains active until the condition is remedied. Once the condition is cleared, the alarm will automatically reset. This alarm system can serve as a high or low level alarm depending on the float switch used. Other standard features include an external alarm test/silence switch, latching lockable cover, and auxiliary contacts for remote devices. 218-847-1317; www.csicontrols.com
