RectorSeal®
Introduces Quiet, Convenient Aspen® Mini White Silent+
Condensate Pump.
Aspen Mini White Silent+ condensate pump, a flexible,
convenient option that complements the high-wall ductless
units of all leading residential and commercial
manufacturers.
This new-generation mini pump fits easily beneath such
units, and the slim, stylish profile design offers
installation options and quick access for routine
maintenance. In addition:
•
The Aspen Mini White Silent+ incorporates new ultra-quiet
technology that limits any vibration caused by water pulses,
thus reducing sound transfer, while a resilient mounting
further minimizes fluctuation and noise.
• The soft-start capacitance technology driven by a fully
variable speed motor optimizes the pump speed in response to
the unit's flow rate.
• The pump's advanced design with fully potted electronics
provides resistance to shock and vibration and prevention of
moisture and corrosion.
A core benefit of the Aspen
Mini White Silent+ condensate pump is its flexible
installation. The unit is designed to fit beneath a
high-wall indoor ductless cassette positioned within the
ductless unit's shadow line. The pump has a reversible inlet
that allows for both left and right installations, and the
unit’s easy-access panels mean there is no need to disturb
the evaporator when cleaning the unit’s filter.

Leak Sealer F4
Express 400ml.
Leak Sealer F4 is a internal leak sealer developed for use
throughout a central heating system to seal small,
inaccessible leaks and weeps which may cause pressure loss
and boiler breakdown. Once dispersed within the system, the
product finds the area of oxygen ingress and forms a polymer
to seal the pinhole.
Effective within 1-24 hours after application, the unique
sealing efficiency of this market-leading water treatment
chemical has been proven to prevent blockages or
restrictions within the boiler or vulnerable system
components such as pumps and safety devices.
A leak can be quickly and efficiently sealed, without the
need for a complete system drain down. The Fernox Express
range uses Barrier Pressure Pack technology and compressed
air propellent to expel the product so the entire range is
non-flammable. The propellent (compressed air) is not mixed
with the active product so there is no risk of air ingress
into the system which could accelerate future risk of
corrosion. For more information visit

Three-Sided Angle Installation for Greenheck Fire and
Combination Fire Smoke Dampers.
Greenheck
has developed a UL-approved three-sided retaining angle
installation method for fire and combination fire smoke
dampers. This method is ideal for installations where the
damper sleeve is tight up against a wall, floor, or other
obstruction with no room for a retaining angle on one side.
Greenheck’s installation does not require the use of any
firestop material, while other three-sided angle
installation methods require fire stop material to be
applied to a specified minimum thickness on the side of the
damper without the retaining angle.
Complying with
the minimum thickness requirement without scraping off the
fire stop material during installation can be difficult, and
makes it complicated for building inspectors to confirm that
the required amount of fire stop material has been applied.
With Greenheck’s three-sided angle installation method,
fasteners are run from inside the damper into the wall
opening on the side without the retaining angle. This makes
for a faster, cleaner and more cost effective installation.

www.greenheck.com.
