The MegaMc Roller keeps pipe off the ground and aids in the pulling of fused pipe along the right-of-way. Tip-resistant, the roller has a capacity of 9,000 lb per unit. It is designed for handling 12-in. IPS to 54-in. OD polyethylene pipe sizes. As fused pipe can be damaged when it is pulled along the ground and by the pulling itself, MegaMc Roller protects the pipe by keeping it off the ground. The MegaMc Roller is designed to be used with McElroy PolyHorse and MegaMc Pipe Stands. McElroy Manufacturing Inc.; 918-831-9256; www.mcelroy.com

The MFI-System is a rain-screen attachment system designed for use with mineral-fiber insulation. The rain- screen system reduces thermal bridging and exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 Prescriptive Requirements for steel-frame walls. It has a corrosion-resistant coating, and it is compatible with Knight S-Rail or D-Rail, which can be attached horizontally or vertically. A ThermaStop thermal- isolation assembly is pre-attached.
