KWD-globalpipe, 25.01.2019. As a mechanically strong joint, the risk of fire is eliminated and there is no need for a fire watch. >B< MaxiPro can be used in confined spaces, meaning office workers and the public can access a build- ing while an installation is underway. >B< MaxiPro can be used up to a maximum operating pressure of 700 psi at 250°F, with a permanent maximum operating temperature range of -40°F to 284°F. “>B< MaxiPro generated a huge amount of interest when we unveiled it at AHR Expo 2017. Since then use by specifiers, contractors and ACR engineers has been strong and is continuing to grow. This will be our fifth time at the show and we expect it to be our busiest,” Larry Johnson, Business Unit Director, North America, for Con- (Photo: www.conexbanninger.com) ex Bänninger, said. The already established K65 brazing range is one another ACR solution, which Conex Bänninger show- cased at the exhibition. The Wieland-K65 tubes and the range of K65 brazing fittings from Conex Bänninger (IBP Group) are ideal for use in high pressure pipe systems up to 1,740 psi, par- ticularly where CO2 is the refrigerant. The material’s mechanical strength means that a copper-based pipe can The tube system for high-pressure applications be installed instead of other types of pipe, such as steel.

Attendees got the opportunity to engage with the company’s highly engineered products through a virtual reality experience along with hans- on demonstrations. KWD-globalpipe, 25.01.2019. “Our goal at this show is to share how our products not only make customers’ lives easier, but ultimately lead to more comfortable and healthier indoor environments,” said Tony Alterio, Account Representative - Building Solutions at REHAU Con- struction LLC. In a recent commercial installation time study performed by the Home Innovations Research Lab, the (Source: twitter.com/REHAU/media) REHAU PEXa pipe with EVERLOC+ fitting system installed up to 66% faster than copper and 21% faster than PEXa with ASTM F1960 cold-expansion fittings. (Source: twitter.com/REHAU/media) The speed and convenience of EVERLOC+ apply to all installa- tions, with one consistent connection technique regardless of pipe diameter, temperature or weather. The innovative connection technology is designed for use with REHAU RAUPEX® PEXa pipe in up to 2-inch diameter. “Since we’ve introduced the EVERLOC+ system at AHR Expo 2017, many contractors have been convinced by its reliability and ease of use,” says Mike Dietrich, vice president of the building solu- tions division at REHAU.

Connec- tions are made quickly using the battery-powered EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools and a con- sistent, two-step expansion/compression process. www.kwd-globalpipe.com page 2 KWD-globalpipe 707 25.01.2019 Completed joints are immediately secure and ready for pressure testing. In addition, RAUPEX pipe is strong, flexible and d urable, making it easier to work with while requiring fewer connections than rigid materials such as copper and CPVC. These material properties further ease and speed up the installation process, helping contractors save on labor, costs and materials.
