Stay ahead of the curve with the latest in radiant heating systems As homeowners have become increasingly aware of the importance of energy efficient building practices and products, especially the effects of rising energy costs, more and more energyefficient products are being integrated into residential new construction and renovation retrofit solutions.

The rise in popularity of radiant heating systems as an alternative to traditional forced-air systems is one indication of a greater awareness about the enhanced efficiency and comfort offered by such technological advancements for the home. In fact,

more than 3 billion feet of hydronic radiant piping has been installed in North America over the last 10 years for its energy-efficient operation and for the enhanced comfort it offers homeowners.

RAUBOARD™ is the easy choice for new construction and retrofit projects!

• At only 1.3 pounds per square foot, the system does not require structural reinforcements • RAUBOARD™ offers a lightweight, efficient, and easy-to-install heating option for retrofit and new construction applications • ½ inch low profile panels minimize adjustments in retrofit projects

• By eliminating the need for specialized concrete or gypsum cement installer, heat transfer panel systems allow for 100% installation by the heating contractor

• Choice of double groove or single groove panels simplify planning and installation

Canplas makes grease management easy to handle Building on a field proven approach to grease management.

Dynamic Inlet Baffle Pull-push action opens and closes the baffle providing access for inspection and cleaning. The handle can also be extended for deeper below grade installations ensuring that accessibility is maintained.

Riser Extensions There are often applications where deeper burial of the interceptor is needed. The XL ‘Cut to length’ riser extension is supplied with an additional frame and interfaces directly with the tank.

Integrated Flow Control Mounted on the front section of the baffle, the internal flow control plate moves away from the inlet pipe giving opportunity for visual inspection and cleaning as required.

Factory Plumbed 3-Way Outlets The Endura XL models feature three pre-plumbed outlet options for straight through or side outlet drainage connections.

Solids Retention Area Passing over the ramp, any solids or debris separate by gravity into the defined solids retention area. This significantly reduces the likelihood of grease-laden particles from exiting the interceptor.

4

Outlet Well Features With the FOG and solids having been effectively separated, the waste water leaves the tank via the uniquely enclosed outlet well, the effluent being discharged to the downstream drain through one of three pre-plumbed tank outlets.

Features & Benefits • Remote pump capable – simple on-site install • Tank uniquely designed to resist floatation • Integrated tie down points • Load rated dual access covers – exceed 20,000lbs loading • Packaging can be used as template for layout and excavation

Save space and time on your next commercial project SPIDERfire® saves energy to solve escalating costs. Because businesses often have heavy periods of hot water demand daily, the ability to deliver up to 516 gallons for one hour helps keep your customer in business.

What Makes SPIDERfire® Installation Different?

• Narrow footprint and modest height means SPIDERfire® will fit in tight spaces • Hot and cold water connections on both sides of the jacket provide installation flexibility, especially during retrofits • The eye level status and diagnostic LCD display includes a scrollable, operational history that details usage • Factory installed, full-port, full-flow brass drain valve allows for faster draining and servicing • The cooler flue gases permit venting through low-cost 2, 3 and 4 inch tubing, which means it can be installed virtually anywhere

Take a bite out of fuel costs • Up to 97% thermal efficiency • Rheem engineered a “wet base” for the lower portion of its flue system, suspending the first two legs of the porcelain coated flue network in water. Hot spots are eliminated and the design boosts efficiency.

• Ultra Low NOx burner design reduces greenhouse emissions.

• Direct Spark Ignition System means that pilot ignites only when there is a call for heat, saving you energy 6

Operating C

The definition of ‘lead free’ has changed The updated CSA standards state that, fittings intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking should not contain a weighted average lead content in excess of 0.25% when evaluated in accordance with the test method in NSF/ANSI 372.

How Are Boshart’s No-Lead Products Identified?

Low-Lead For products that do have, or could potentially have small amounts of lead in the alloy or the coating. For example zinc/galvanized plated products, all no lead brass and bronze products.

Boshart is committed to expanding their lead-free product line and have created two types of no-lead logos for easy identification of these products.

No-Lead Logos – Product Certified to <0.25% LEAD

Lead-Free For products that DO NOT have any lead content at all. For example all no lead stainless steel, plastic, cast iron items.

Labels for product that are 3rd party certified to the <0.25% Pb by weighted average by an ANSI accredited laboratory will have additional information located on the labels, which identifies the certification body used. Most no-lead labels can also be identified by the GREEN or BLACK bar running through the part number / qty.

Remember: There is no industry standard for product identification, and is unlikely in the future. A wide range of no-lead product markings are being used today so it’s important to check these labels.
