New material
FiberScore FRP is a fiberglass panel that provides an alternative to ceramic tiles. The innovative Sani-Coat seals the groove of each panel. The impact-resistant panel also resists staining, scratching, mold and mildew and won’t crack or deteriorate. It wipes clean easily with standard cleaning solutions; no brushing or scrubbing is needed. Nudo Products Inc.
Daily tracking
The Sentinel PRO remote monitoring system provides 24/7 monitoring of unattended HVAC units, freezers, refrigerators, boilers and chillers. The system interacts with all existing sensors within a facility and provides operators on-demand, real-time status and data, including temperature, humidity, pressure, pH, conductivity and water leakage. Sensaphone
Full circle
The Total 360 System combines electrostatic technology with EPA-registered disinfecting and sanitizing solutions for thorough coverage of even hard-to-reach places. The system covers up to 18,000 square feet per hour, providing comprehensive surface treatment and broad surface compatibility.

Power & Electrical
Got the power
The L-Series and XL-Series lithium ion-based uninterruptible power supply systems feature a combined 13 models. The systems’ chemistry is safe, stable and provides superior thermal operation, allowing them to run efficiently in more extreme temperature environments. They last up to three times as long as valve-regulated lead batteries, while also using less space, energy and weighing 33 percent less. N1 Critical Technologies
Switch hitter
These high-speed automatic transfer switches transfer electrical loads from a preferred power source to an alternate power source when voltage and/or frequency varies from preset limits, and retransfers loads when the preferred source is restored. They feature preloaded springs and an overcenter mechanism driven by an electric operator. Russelectric Inc.
Power trip
The Liebert EXL S1 line of uninterruptible power supply systems has expanded, adding 625, 750 and 800 kVA ratings designed for data centers and co-location facilities that are seeking to scale in smaller modules. The new systems complement the 1000, 1100 and 1200 kVA ratings. Customers can parallel up to eight separate units intelligently. Vertiv Co.
Perfectly aligned
Breaker Integrated Transformer is a low-voltage, dry-type distribution transformer integrating a traditionally separate molded-case circuit breaker within the same enclosure. Its smaller footprint reduces overall cost for electrical distribution installations. It is highly configurable to specific application needs with a wide range of primary and secondary breaker choices. Eaton
Plumbing
Fresh water
The WashBar reduces germ touchpoints in restrooms. To stop germs and bacterial growth in the fixture between uses, the WashBar is programmed to purge water every 24 hours for 5 seconds, if the unit hasn’t been activated within that time. In effect, stagnant water is drained from the piping system and flushed with water to reduce growth of bacteria, such as Legionella. Bradley Corp.
Two in one
This wall-mount hand-washing sink includes an AutoFlow swing-down eyewash that swivels out of the way when not in use. When needed, the spray heads swing down 100 degrees from storage to an operational position, activating the 1.6-gallon-per-minute flow of water. It also includes a sensor faucet, dual thermostatic mixing valves and a drain system. Just Manufacturing Co.
Clean and clear
The point-of-use QPoint Water Filter Capsules retain such waterborne pathogens as bacteria, fungi and protozoa from in-premise drinking water systems. The filter capsules deliver potable water suitable for showering, cleaning superficial wounds, equipment used in medical procedures and washing surgeons’ hands. Pall Medical
A set limit
The 375ASTW1 Connected Backflow Preventer includes a wireless monitor that senses for a relief valve discharge when a backflow condition exists. Maintenance personnel can set parameters and notifications around their backflow preventer’s operation. They can receive alerts in real time via email or text message in the event of relief valve water discharge so that they can respond more quickly. Zurn Industries LLC
