Waterless urinal using breakthrough technology

www.caromausa.com

The H2Zero waterless urinal by Caroma utilizes breakthrough technology to use zero water for optimum performance and water conservation. The H2Zero's unique patented cartridge technology does not use an oil-based seal, as traditionally used in waterless urinals. Within the cartridge is a Bio Fresh deodorizing block that is activated during use. The Bio Seal* allows urine to pass through the seal freely and acts as a one-way airtight valve to seal the cartridge from the drainage system. Caroma.

The touch-free Aerada™ 1200 Series CS gooseneck faucet, complements the existing line of Aerada 1200 Series CS faucets, which utilize capacitive sensing technology to provide optimal hands-free operation. The omni-directional detection zone of the Aerada 1200 Series CS faucet ensures activation the first time and every time.

‘Wags’ (Water and Gas Shut-off) valve

www.taco-hvac.com

The wags (Water and Gas Shut-off) valve is a simple, inexpensive and reliable way to guard against disastrous water problems that can arise when water heaters develop a leak. Ideal for new or existing water heaters, wags is totally mechanical and can be installed with or without an electric harness. Installation is easy: The valve rests in a water heater drain pan. The cold water supply runs through the valve before entering the appliance. If a leak occurs, an internal water-soluble fiber element dissolves, releasing a powerful, spring-loaded piston that closes flow of water to the tank. With the addition of a wiring harness for gas-fired appliances, this action will also break a fuse to shut off the water heater’s gas supply. Taco.
