A Comprehensive Line Includes Large Diameter Pipes and Fittings
Jones Stephens, an industry leader in the manufacture and distribution of plumbing products, introduces its PEX-A Piping System – a wide range of PEX-A pipe and F1960 expansion and F1807/F2159 crimp fittings, including large diameter.
The benefits of PEX-A piping are significant. Ideal for all new construction and repair jobs, PEX-A pipe is corrosion resistant, making it more durable than corrosion-prone copper pipes. It has a superior crosslinking pattern, making it highly flexible. While copper and other systems can burst in freezing temperatures, PEX-A piping expands in the cold and frigid air, thus making it resistant to damage. PEX-A piping creates less kinking, so installation is simple and quick. It absorbs sound, so it provides a quiet system, and its high thermal-resistant property keeps hot water hotter and longer, saving valuable energy. Additionally, Jones Stephens’ cold expansion fittings, along with its brass and plastic crimp fittings, provide a dependable, leak-free, and secure plumbing connection. And the comprehensive offering even includes PEX-A piping for potable water and oxygen barrier applications.
Jones Stephens’ product line includes the following:
- PEX-A pipe, Potable water, and Oxygen Barrier
- ½” to 2”
- Red, Blue, and Natural colored
- Coils and Straight Lengths
- F1960 Expansion Fittings
- ½” to 2”
- Brass and Poly
- F1807/F2159 Crimp Fittings
- ½” to 1”
- Brass and Poly
Meeting all industry standards, certifications, and compliance, PEX-A Piping Systems by Jones Stephens are now in stock and shipping.

Taco Comfort Solutions’ new flow-through expansion tank is designed to help reduce the environmental conditions necessary for Legionella and other bacteria to flourish. With standard tank volumes ranging from 23 to 528 gallons, the flow-through expansion tank provides precise flow channeling through a patent pending head design.
Constructed, tested, and certified to ASME Section VIII Div. 1, these tanks minimize pressure loss, discourage short-cycling, and are retrofittable to meet ASHRAE Standard 188 on existing designs. Standard working pressure is 125 PSI with options for 150 PSI and higher. They are NSF/ANSI 61-G certified and are available with a sight glass for failure detection.

Recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency declarations were overturned, once again allowing the production and sale of Burnham Commercial boiler models with inputs of 300 MBH and above, specifically the V9A, V11H and MPC models. Earlier in the year, a DOE ruling temporarily affected some Burnham Commercial boiler models, though they are now reversed. Read more
Recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency declarations were overturned, once again allowing the production and sale of Burnham Commercial boiler models with inputs of 300 MBH and above, specifically the V9A, V11H and MPC models.
Earlier in the year, a DOE ruling temporarily affected some Burnham Commercial boiler models, though they are now reversed. While the Burnham Commercial Series 8HE product line was updated during the past year, they now have the 805HE through 810HE (239-505 MBH) sizes available for sale.

U.S. Boiler Company introduces the Ambient Electric Boiler for residential customers looking to modernize and electrify their hydronic heating systems.
The single-phase Ambient Electric Boiler is an ultra-compact, wall-hung boiler designed and supported by industry-leading hydronic experts. The boiler is available in three capacities: 16, 20 and 24 kW, or 54,600, 68,200, and 82,000 BTUh, respectively. Supply water temperatures between 90°F and 180°F can be provided, using field-proven electric elements.
Built for long-term consumer reliability, the boiler’s ASME Section IV stamped heat exchanger is assembled and welded in the US. The cabinet is constructed of robust coated galvanized steel, and the system automatically cycles element usage.
The boiler features a proven control that provides dual setpoint operation, load management control, operation monitoring, with fault and dry-fire protection.
The new electric boiler can be installed quickly and inexpensively because venting, fuel supply and provision of combustion air are not required. The unit weighs 54 pounds, and connections to the heat exchanger are on top, meaning that the system does not need to be drained in order to service the element.
To further simplify installation, an integral anti-short cycle-timer and two 60 AMP circuit breakers are included. A flow switch, ASME 30 PSI pressure relief valve, pump switching relay and secondary manual reset hi-limit are also included. The electric boiler is compatible with copper and aluminum wire (aluminum prohibited in Canada). The new boiler is CSA C22.2 listed/UL 834 listed and features enhanced, individual element relays.
The Ambient Electric Boiler comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty and a 20-year heat exchanger warranty. Regional electrification incentives may apply.

Taco Comfort Solutions® has expanded its family of easy-to-use, ECM high-efficiency circulators with the addition of the 0034e® and 0034ePlus® models. With a maximum of 34 feet of head and 50 GPM, the new circulators offer up to 85 percent energy savings over a conventional circulator.
The 0034e and 0034ePlus circulators are available with cast iron or NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified stainless steel volutes, so they are ideal for closed-loop hydronic heating systems as well as domestic hot water recirculation systems. Both circulators also offer a convenient, rotatable control box cover for a professional look, no matter the orientation of the installed circulator.
The 0034e features an easy-to-use dial with five operating modes, including constant pressure, fixed speed, Taco’s exclusive TacoADAPTTM self-adjusting proportional pressure, and 0-10V capability. The 0034ePlus adds proportional pressure and more constant pressure settings as well as a digital display with real-time feedback, including watts, GPM, feet of head, and RPM. Both circulators are dual-voltage 115V/230V.
The new circulators come with exclusive features that make Taco’s ECM high-efficiency circulators so easy to use, including SureStart® automatic unblocking and air purging, BIO Barrier® black iron oxide protection, dual electrical knockouts, and recessed flange nut-grabbers.
