Watts Announces New Integrated Thermal Expansion Solution

This system provides a complete solution for managing thermal expansion in plumbing systems, helping to prevent damage and reduce the need for repairs.
Bradford White Introduces New High-Efficiency Water Heaters
Bradford White, a leading manufacturer of water heaters, has introduced a new line of high-efficiency water heaters. These water heaters use advanced technology to provide energy-efficient hot water for homes and businesses. Features of the new water heaters include advanced insulation, ultra-low NOx emissions, and intelligent control systems that optimize performance and energy use. With these new water heaters, customers can enjoy hot water while reducing their energy bills and minimizing their environmental impact.
Protective Industrial Products Releases New Work Glove Line
Protective Industrial Products (PIP), a leading supplier of personal protective equipment (PPE), has released a new line of work gloves designed for plumbers and other tradespeople. The new gloves include features like flexible padding, reinforced fingertips, and breathable materials, all designed to provide comfort and protection during even the toughest jobs. With these new gloves, plumbers can work longer and more comfortably, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall job performance.
How to Properly Dispose of Old Plumbing Fixtures
As a plumbing services company, we often replace old plumbing fixtures like sinks, toilets, and showerheads. But what do we do with the old fixtures? Many people simply throw them in the trash, but this is not the best solution. Certain plumbing fixtures contain hazardous materials like lead or mercury, and throwing them away can harm the environment. Instead, old fixtures should be taken to a recycling center or hazardous waste facility for proper disposal. This not only helps protect the environment, but it also ensures that valuable materials are recycled and reused.
Preventing Frozen Pipes During Winter
Winter is here, and with it comes the risk of frozen pipes. Frozen pipes can result in costly repairs and even water damage to your property. To prevent frozen pipes, it’s important to take a few steps before temperatures drop. These include insulating pipes, keeping faucets dripping, and opening cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around pipes. If pipes do freeze, it’s important not to try to thaw them with an open flame or heat gun, as this can cause damage. Instead, use a hairdryer or a space heater to slowly warm the pipes and restore water flow.
