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.

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.

Taco Comfort Solutions has expanded its family of easy to use, high-efficiency ECM circulators with the addition of the 0026e. With a maximum of 26 feet of head and 44 GPM, the new variable-speed circulator offers up to 85 percent energy savings over a conventional circulator.
The 0026e circulator is available with cast iron or NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified stainless steel volutes, ideal for either closed-loop heating systems or domestic hot water systems. It also offers a convenient, rotatable control box for a professional look, no matter the orientation of the installed circulator.
The easily-installed, easily-programmed 0026e circulator features five simple settings; low, medium, high, Taco’s exclusive activeADAPT® self-adjusting proportional pressure, and 0-10v control. Its variable speed performance curves are equivalent to Taco’s 0010, 0011, 0012, 0012 and 0014 models.
Hydronic system designers and installers will find that the new circulator is ideal for large residential and light commercial heating, chilled water cooling and domestic hot water systems. The 0026e is dual-voltage 115V/230V, and the 6.5” rotated flange-to-flange dimension retrofits most circulators in its class.
The new circulator includes exclusive features that make Taco’s ECM high-efficiency circulators easy to use, including SureStart® automatic unblocking and air purging, BIO Barrier® black iron oxide protection, dual electrical knockouts, and recessed flange nut-grabbers for easier fit up.
