The Vandal Gard Lavatory Enclosure by Zurn Plumbing Products is an alternative to insulation covers around each pipe and component. The designer-style, single-piece Vandal Gard conceals all lavatory piping, electronic faucet connections, mixing valves, trap primers, and instantaneous hot water heaters at once.

The Vandal Gard provides the proper knee and toe clearances mandated by ADA for wheelchair users, prevents pipe component tampering, and offers the aesthetics required by designers. The unit can be used in new construction or retrofit.

DuraDrain from Zeager comes in light weight foam panels that install quickly and easily over existing hard surfaces or directly on top of grass, which can reduce excavating costs. It provides extra fall protection, and can reduce the amount of wood fiber needed to meet impact safety standards. Nine inches of Woodcarpet over DuraDrain is rated to 12-feet, according to the company.

The foam panels slow the decay process by giving wood fiber increased drainage, allowing water to drain quickly and easily away from the surface.

Spirotherm Inc. offers products for hot, chilled, and condenser water systems in colleges and universities. The Spirovent combination air/dirt separators are available through 36-inch pipe and will handle flows up to 30,500 GPM.

The patented coalescing/barrier medium eliinates both air and dirt problems quickly and efficiently, reducing the need for labor-intensive manual bleeding.

The LL 160 Kesonite Super Beam Laser from Keson Industries Inc. provides precise alignment by projecting red laser lines on any surface to provide vertical alignment (plumb) and horizontal alignment (level). With six separate diodes, this laser projects both horizontal and vertical dots and lines, allowing it to act as a laser plumb bob.
