U.S. Boiler Company introduces the all-new Citadel and Citadel XL condensing boilers and volume water heaters. The Citadel is available in five capacities (399 – 1000 MBH) and the Citadel XL is available in 1250 and 1500 MBH capacities. AHRI certified and rated up to 97% thermal efficiency (98% for water heater), the Citadel is available in either a natural gas or propane configuration.
The new boilers save time, space and simplify design and installation. The Citadel can be stacked two-high without the need for accessory racking systems, while the Citadel XL can be stacked with a rack system. Zero side and top clearance optimizes the amount of BTUs that can offer per square foot.
Because the Citadel is designed for the widest variety of applications, it’s sold complete out of the box. Included at no additional cost are the low water cutoff and high and low gas pressure switch making the boilers CSD-1 compliant. A standard, reinforced 3-in-1 vent connector facilitates the use of polypropylene, CPVC or stainless steel venting on the Citadel. Venting of up to 300 equivalent feet (combined) of vent in AL29-4C, polypropylene or CPVC is acceptable. Modbus communication also comes standard.
In addition to standard 10:1 turndown and impressive 300 GPM maximum flow rate, an outdoor model is also available for all but the largest models at no additional charge. Citadel XL models are available with 208/60hz/1ph and 230/60hz/1ph electrical options.

REHAU expands their PRO-BALANCE manifold adapter selection with BSPP to copper press adapters for 1 and 1 1/4 in. manifolds. The new adapters connect directly to the PRO-BALANCE manifold supply/return header with a BSPP threaded connection and transition to copper distribution piping using a copper press or solder connection.
The REHAU BSPP to copper press adapters are especially suitable for snow and ice melting applications with an onsite manifold vault separate from the boiler room. Since the adapters provide a direct transition from the manifold to the pipe, mechanical contractors are now able to run copper distribution piping all the way from the boiler room to the manifold vault without the need for additional threaded connections, soldering or valves.
“Adding BSPP to copper press adapters to our PRO-BALANCE manifold line gives mechanical contractors more flexibility in their hydronic installations, providing another option for how they run distribution lines,” says Mark Hudoba, vice president of REHAU building solutions for the Americas region. “The ability to make direct connections between the manifold and copper pipe without a series of additional connections further contributes to a quicker, more efficient installation process.”

Cutting-edge innovation in temperature mixing
The Caleffi 5212 Series SinkMixer™ is a scald protection, under-sink thermostatic mixing valve used to deliver safe tempered water where the user must be protected from the danger of scalding caused by hot water. The convenient 4-port design simplifies piping and minimizes connection points. It features a cold water bypass to the fixture that eliminates the need for additional piping and a tee that would be required with a 3-port design.
SinkMixer is precision engineered with forged DZR low-lead brass that resists corrosion and provides high flow capacity in a compact body. The low friction, high-performance moving internal parts resist scaling to ensure stable, accurate temperature control. Peroxide-cured EPDM elastomers resist chlorine and chloramine, which can be present in public water supplies, ensuring long valve life.
Installers appreciate the stand-off wall bracket for sturdy mounting and simple hose connection. Maintenance is easily accommodated with replaceable inlet check valves and stainless steel mesh filters. The filters provide maximum debris protection. Tamper-resistant locking nut and cap prevents unauthorized set point adjustments.
SinkMixer is available with fitting hardware that includes (1) plug for cold outlet port (used for automatic sinks which have a one pipe connection for tempered water) and (4) nuts and (4) ferrules (sleeves) for use with pipe-types other than flexible stainless steel hoses.
Rest assured. SinkMixer is ICC-ES certified compliant to ASSE 1070/ASME A112.1070/CSA B125.70 (Performance Requirements for Water Temperature Limiting Devices) and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61-2019 and IPC, IRC, UPC and NPC for drinking water systems in accordance with U.S. and Canadian plumbing codes
SinkMixer is an important part of the LEGIOMIX® domestic hot water (DHW) control system that was recognized by the AHR Innovation Awards panelists as a finalist in the 2022 Sustainable Solutions category. Caleffi’s DHW system – a product trifecta – consists of three components: A LEGIOMIX digital mixing valve, ThermoSetter™ thermal balancing valves and SinkMixer anti-scald mixing valves. Combined this product trifecta promotes energy efficient DHW recirculation system design, while enabling safe and effective thermal disinfection cycles to control Legionella.
