Control valves
Bell & Gossett has introduced its new Optiflo™ Pressure Independent Control Valve and Circuit Setter® Ultraset™ Pressure Independent Flow Limiting Valve. Both the valves feature integrated pressure/temperature ports to verify differential pressure and temperatures. The Optiflo valve combines an externally field-adjustable automatic balance valve and a full modulating control valve with 100% valve authority. The valve maintains the set flow (±5% of setting) regardless of fluctuations in system pressure. It is available in sizes between ½" to 1 ¼". The Ultraset is a field-adjustable automatic flow limiting balance valve featuring an external locking handle that simplifies on-site flow adjustments.

Utility saw chain
Blount International has introduced the new PowerGrit™ Utility Saw Chain, a new chain designed to cut pipe. From ductile iron to plastic pipe, the technology requires less access to cut pipe in the ground. Thus, contractors are able to cut from one position with far less excavation and effort than required by prior methods. The chain features a unique brazed layer diamond coating. PowerGrit chain, which will be initially marketed and sold under the ICS® brand, is available for use on the professional grade ICS 633F4, 101cc, gas powered chain saw and the ICS 853 and 880, large frame hydraulic powered chain saws. PowerGrit is also sold through an OEM partnership with Stanley Hydraulic Tools.

Corrugated PE pipe
JM Eagle had introduced the Eagle Corr PE (Dual Wall) pipe. Combining a corrugated exterior and a smooth interior for maximum hydraulic efficiency in a high-density polyethylene pipe, it can be used in a variety of gravity flow applications and is especially suited for storm sewer systems. The pipe has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is very flexible and weighs less than traditional products. It can support a load rating of H-25 – with a minimum cover of only 1 foot – but with a conduit design that's also flexible enough to allow for cover heights in excess of 100 feet.
