Caleffi North America, Inc., a leader in state-of-the-art engineered solutions for hydronic and plumbing systems, is pleased to announce the expansion to their plumbing product portfolio with the 304 Series Vacu-Stop™ Vacuum Relief Valve (VRV).
Available in ½” and ¾” MNPT, the Vacu-Stop is suitable for use in water and low pressure steam services. It is ideal for use in water heaters, supply tanks and low pressure steam systems. The valve automatically allows air into the piping system to prevent a vacuum which could siphon water from the system and damage water heater/tank equipment.
The Vacu-Stop meets ANSI Z22.21 Standard and is compliant with International Plumbing Code (IPC) Section 504.2 governing safety devices. It is also NSF 61 and NSF 372 compliant making it usable in potable water environments.
The Vacu-Stop is now in stock and available for order in North America. For more information, please call us at (414) 238-2360.

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.”
