INSULATED PIPE: Designed for Cold Climates
Ecoflec Potable PEX Plus insulated water pipe prevents underground plumbing installations from freezing in extremely cold climates. The system consists of a 1¼-in. Uponor AquaPlex pipe, with a 7-watt-per-ft heat-trace cable running alongside the pipe. The water pipe and heating wire are sheathed in multilayer PEX-foam insulation and a corrugated, waterproof HDPE jacket. The pipe system is approved for underground potable-water applications and compatible with Uponor’s ProPLEX ASTM F1960 expansion fittings. The pipe is available in lengths up to 300 ft, with custom lengths available. Uponor; www.uponor.com

PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR: Gas-Powered
The Doosan C185 air compressor is able to produce 185 cfm of air at 100 psi. It can be used for sandblasting, pipeline testing and to power handheld air tools. The gasoline-powered compressor has a 2.5-liter, fuel-injected Kobota engine, built on the same block design as diesel models. With a 24-gallon fuel tank, the C185 has a run time of eight hours at full load. A gasoline-only fuel cap prevents diesel fuel from being added accidentally.
