Here are some of the latest radiant and hydronic products from this year.
Alumicor® PEX-Al-PEX
PEX-Al-PEX
The new Alumicor® PEX-Al-PEX tubing offers the
benefits of cross-linked polyethylene tubing plus it holds its shape when bent.
A layer of aluminum is sandwiched between two layers of PEX that not only gives
it an easy-to-handle, malleable characteristic, it also improves heat transfer
and acts as an oxygen barrier, helping to protect the boiler and all other
nonferrous system components from corrosion.
Zurn Industries www.zurn.comTriFire
threepass oil-fired boiler
Oil-Fired Boiler
The
TriFire threepass oil-fired boiler features easy installation through simple
wiring, a small footprint and a piping manifold tree. It is compact and strong,
with a maximum allowable working pressure of 65 psi. Wide flue ways, a flexible
oil line, dual-hinged swing door with left or right mount option, site glass
and sampling port make servicing easy.
Utica
Boilers www.uticaboilers.com Climate
Control™ Multifunction Controller
Hydronic Control
The
Climate Control™ Multifunction Controller is a hydronic
controller that offers a streamlined, less time-intensive approach to
installing controls for radiant heating and cooling systems. Instead of
creating specific individual controls for domestic hot water, mixing, snowmelt,
boiler staging and zone pumping, all of these and other functionalities can now
be handled by this single, easy-to-use, programmable control.
Uponor www.uponor-usa.com ZoneTrol™ II zone pump controllers

package. It is a ready-to-install zone controller for hydronic circulators in
residential and light commercial applications.
Bell & Gossett www.bellgossett.com LTR Series Low Water Cutoff
New Low Water Cutoff
LTR Series Low Water Cutoff offers a more advanced low
water cutoff control for use with residential hot water boilers. It is designed
around the expressed needs of residential boiler installers and service techs
for enhanced installation, operation, service and compact dimensions.

Taco Inc. www.taco-hvac.com D-26F digital thermostat
Digital Thermostat
The D-26F digital thermostat is specifically designed
for radiant floor heating systems. It is simple to install and operate without
any programming steps. A 10-foot auxiliary remote sensor is provided to measure
and control the slab temperature. In addition, an on/off switch can be used to
turn off the relay output. Setpoint and floor temperature or room temperature
is displayed on the backlit LCD screen.
Azel Technologies www.azeltec.com Floor Panel
The FloorPanel system for dry, above-floor radiant
heating applications features a unique design that easily secures 3/8-inch PEX
tubing with 8-inch on-center spacing in any direction - straight runs, turns or
both. Tongue-and-groove edges allow for quick interlocking installation and
maximum surface continuity. Moisture-resistant MDF construction provides
protection against high levels of humidity.
ComfortPro Systems
www.comfortprosystems.com Therma-Floor® gypsum underlayment
Gypsum Underlayment
Therma-Floor® is a gypsum underlayment designed to
pour over hot water tubes or electric heating cables. It acts as the thermal
mass for any radiant floor system. Therma-Floor encases the tubes or cables in
crack-resistant, noncombustible gypsum. It
resists breakdown to 150 degrees F and, because it's poured only 1 1/4 inches
thick, the heating system is more responsive and more comfortable.
Maxxon Corp. www.maxxoncorporation.com The
FBSN Foamboard Stapler
Foamboard Stapler
The
FBSN Foamboard Stapler is for infloor radiant heating installations. Solid
one-piece aluminum magazine stands up to any rugged jobsite environment. A leaf
spring-controlled stop automatically adjusts to set up staple and guide it
through the fastening mechanism without risk of jamming or deforming staple.
Malco
Products Inc. www.malcoproducts.com Mod/Con Commercial Condensing Boiler
Commercial ModCon
This new mod/con commercial condensing boiler features
a high-grade Inconel load-matching gas burner with a 5:1 turndown to meet the
variable needs for space heating and DHW in a single application. The 500,000
Btu/hr. model will operate as low as 100,000 Btu/hr. to save energy. Stack two
at a time to double capacity while maintaining the same small footprint.
Heat Transfer Products www.htproducts.com DISCALAIR Solar 251 Series
Air Separator For Solar
The DISCALAIR Solar 251 Series air separator can
increase the life of a solar heating system by continuously and automatically
eliminating air, including microbubbles, from primary circuits. It removes
corrosive gases mechanically in a process more economical and thermally
efficient than a chemical process. Specially designed to work at both low and
high temperatures with a glycol medium.
Caleffi www.caleffi.us Squire Indirect Water Heater
Enhanced Indirect
The Squire Indirect Water Heater has been enhanced.
When used with a high-efficiency condensing boiler, Squire uses the energy
generated to heat the home and also heat domestic water, consuming fuel more
efficiently than a direct-fired water heater and significantly reducing
operating costs.
