Look around, nearly all the fire tube heat exchangers on the market are a shared design manufactured by either one of two or three designs coming from overseas. Except one. Navien has designed and manufactured their own fire tube and its very different from the rest. Of course its not yet been put to the test here in North America, there are not yet thousands or even hundreds of installations in place but given the track record of the major tankless manufacturer, one might expect it to perform well. For more info on the new NFB boilers coming soon from Navien click here.

Here’s a video we shot at the 2018 AHR Expo in Chicago while visiting Navien’s booth.

Dewalt’s newest anchor system, the Mini-Undercut anchor is the first of its kind to gain all approvals and seismic ratings for use in post-tension slabs and can be used in a variety of concrete base materials like thin slab, hollow-core pre-cast etc. The anchor itself requires only 3/4” drill depth and has seismic code ratings Read more

Dewalt’s newest anchor system, the Mini-Undercut anchor is the first of its kind to gain all approvals and seismic ratings for use in post-tension slabs and can be used in a variety of concrete base materials like thin slab, hollow-core pre-cast etc. The anchor itself requires only 3/4” drill depth and has seismic code ratings for holding values of up to 4” pipe. The drill bit has a fixed stop only allowing for 3/4” drill depth, the setting bit can be used in drill mode without damaging the anchor threads.

We learned of this anchoring system while attending the #toughinthesouth new tool event in Nashville, TN.
