                                            RIDGID expands its existing diagnostic line with the addition of three new hand-held diagnostic tools: the RIDGID micro LM-100 laser distance meter, the RIDGID micro CD-100 combustible gas detector and the RIDGID micro IR-100  non-contact infrared thermometer.

                                            RIDGID expands its existing diagnostic line with the addition of three new hand-held diagnostic tools: the RIDGID micro LM-100 laser distance meter, the RIDGID micro CD-100 combustible gas detector and the RIDGID micro IR-100 non-contact infrared thermometer.

                                            The RIDGID micro LM-100 laser distance meter provides simple, quick and accurate distance readings up to 164 feet. Direct and indirect measurements can be taken in seconds with the meter. The device's ultra-sharp class II laser allows for easy measurement of remote, hard-to-reach places. Distance readings appear quickly on the easy-to-read LCD display, and the meter displays the last three measurements and stores the last 20 measurements.

                                            The rugged, portable, compact device weighs 0.5 pounds and measures accurately within 1/16 of an inch. It offers adjustable units enabling the user to read the measurements in feet, inches or meters and add or subtract measurements at the touch of a button. The bright backlit display allows the user to use the device in poorly lit areas. The instrument enables professional tradesmen to quickly determine distances for a range of applications, i.e. bidding for distance of piping run, measuring trouble spots on lines and quickly determining spacing, and area measurements for volume and code compliance.

                                            The RIDGID micro CD-100 combustible gas detector provides simple and fast readings to quickly identify the presence of combustible gases. The detector is designed to detect methane, propane, butane, ethanol, ammonia, hydrogen and many other combustible gases.

                                            The rugged ergonomic design makes the device capable of withstanding jobsite rigor. The adjustable sensitivity settings allow for quick, precise leak locating even in low-levels and the Tri-Mode Detection gives the operator the flexibility to be alerted with a visual, audible or vibration alert, which can be adjusted for each environment. The detector can be use for ensuring proper gas line installations, checking for maintenance and repair needs, or for quickly pinpointing combustible gas leaks.

                                            The RIDGID micro IR-100 non-contact infrared thermometer provides simple, quick and accurate surface temperature readings at the push of a button. By squeezing the trigger and pointing the ultra-sharp dual class II lasers to spotlight the surface being measured, the micro IR-100 thermometer provides an immediate temperature measurement on a clear, easy-to-read backlit LCD display. The rugged ergonomic pistol-style grip allows the user to keep a solid grip on the device in the harshest industrial environments.

                                            The 20-to-1 distance-to-spot ratio allows the user to take more accurate measurements from farther distances. Audible and visual high and low alarm settings alert the user quickly to temperatures outside of the set ranges. The micro IR-100 thermometer has a large temperature measuring range of -58 degrees to 1472 degrees Fahrenheit. The device is also equipped with a tripod mount for repeatable, precise temperature measurements. Applications include diagnosis of heating and ventilation problems, preventative monitoring of electrical motors and systems, trouble shooting steam traps, and diagnosing fuses and circuit breakers for overheating.

                                            All three RIDGID hand-held diagnostic tools run on alkaline batteries and come with a RIDGID warranty.

                                            Painter's Pyramid with Lock & Tab System

                                            The popular Painters Pyramid now has wing tabs that allow the pyramids to be locked or fastened in place or even together for greater stability and versatility in  a variety of applications. The "New and Improved" version will provide several functional benefits to consumers enabled by the "wings" that we have added to two of the sides.

                                            • Easily fasten the pyramid to the work surface using either a #8 screw or comparably sized nail. This is extremely beneficial when across a spectrum of projects.
                                            • Pyramids will stay exactly in place while larger projects are being loaded. Smaller projects will not move (which can cause a project to fall off the pyramids) during any application processes.
                                            • The lock and tab system enables pyramids to be fastened to one another.

                                            With longer & thinner items (molding, dowels, railings, etc.) the pyramids can be made into a chain and the workpieces can be laid either perpendicular to the chain or can be assembled into pairs/tripods for supporting ends of an item. With small items, the pyramids can be assembled into a nest that provides tremendous support and stability for even the toughest items to hold.

                                            The price is staying very affordable with our $6.99 MSRP unchanged from the original version.

                                            Transcube Lift-Safe Transportable Fuel Tanks

                                            Transcube has introduced a newly engineered 5:1 lift safety factor to its line of transportable diesel fuel tanks.

                                            In response to specific customer requests for equipment meeting stringent OSHA jobsite regulations, Transcube has introduced a newly engineered 5:1 lift safety factor to its line of transportable diesel fuel tanks. The new safety factor gives each tank's corner lifting lugs the capability to lift five times the fully loaded weight of a tank.

                                            The new lift safety factor is an optional feature on Transcube's 05TCG, 10TCG and 20TCG models, which offer storage capacities of 132, 264 and 528 gallons, respectively. The tanks are designed with an inner fuel container and an outer wall that provides 110-percent integral secondary containment to eliminate the risk of spills and ground contamination, making them ideal for equipment and power rental fleets, fuel suppliers and end users working in construction, mining, agricultural and offshore applications.

                                            The tanks are equipped to make handling and maneuverability simple regardless of jobsite logistics. Transcube's standard four-corner lifting eyes allow a tank to be lifted, raised or lowered by a crane while full of fuel, while the new lift safety factor provides the added safety assurance of heavy-duty lifting lugs that can lift fives times the weight of a fully loaded tank. The tanks also feature forklift pockets that are accessible on all four sides.

                                            Internally baffled to prevent the surge of fuel during transport, Transcube tanks are UL 142 certified and have DOT approval for transportation of diesel fuel, unlike traditional fuel tanks that are not designed for traveling on the road. This gives the units the versatility to be deployed to remote locations while full of fuel and the ability to be taken from a site with fuel still inside.

                                            All fill ports, pumps, fittings and connections are housed at the top of the tank within the secondary containment area. To eliminate the risk of accidental spillage, the tanks have no bottom or side exterior outlets of any kind.

                                            The SHC25/25A weighs 11.3 oz (320g) including battery, and measures 3.23 x 5.75 x 1.30 in. (82 x 146 x 33mm). "The SHC25 series is the lightest and smallest data collector available on today's market which meets the US military standard that withstands extremely rough conditions," Walker said. "Conforming to the latest MIL-STD-810G, both models have cleared the drop tests from a height of 5 ft. (1.52m). These models are also rated to IP65 of the IEC standard, eliminating powder dust and driving rain as potential problems."

                                            Each model integrates the 20-channel L1 GPS receiver that provides point positioning accuracy of 5 meters (16.4 ft.) and DGPS accuracy of 1 to 3 meters (3.3 to 9.9 ft.) using SBAS signals. "In addition, the SHC25A model includes built-in 3 MP auto focus camera, electronic compass and altimeter to meet the increasing demand for GIS data collection capability," Walker said.

                                            "We have designed these new models on basis of our extensive experience in the data collector business," said Walker. "One Li-ion rechargeable battery supplies enough power for almost one day, but we focused on the field replaceable battery design that gives the maximum convenience to the users."

                                            The SHC25 series features the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, 533MHz processor, and 256MB SDRAM. Sokkia's comprehensive data collection software Spectrum Survey Field, as well as the construction layout software Sokkia Layout Field, fully runs on the SHC25/25A, "meaning that these data collectors have abilities to control all Sokkia GPS/GNSS receivers, total stations and digital levels," Walker said.

                                            "Sokkia now offers four choices. The SHC250 model features the ultra-fast 806MHz processor, while the SHC2500 offers quick data entry with a full alphanumeric keyboard.

                                            "If users prefer the compact size, lightweight or cost effectiveness, we recommend the new SHC25. The new SHC25A satisfies GIS data collection demands in addition to the SHC25 functionality. All of our data collectors provide superior environmental protection, including IP65 or higher dust/water protections that ensure maximum data security," Walker said.

                                            VaproShield WrapShield SA (Self-Adhered)

                                            WrapShield SA self-adhesive  vapor permeable membrane and vapor barrier.VaproShield, marketing and distributing affordable, innovative products that reflect state-of-the-art building envelope science, announces a new product that will open the door to a host of new projects.

                                            WrapShield SA Self-Adhered is the highest vapor permeable (50 perms) membrane and an air barrier in one innovative, affordable self-adhering product. It fully bonds to almost any substrate for air tightness and ease of installation, requiring no primer, saving thousands of dollars on labor, and eliminates environmental, health and safety concerns of primer application. Additionally, the membrane contributes to LEED points for Indoor Environmental Air Quality and Energy & Atmosphere.

                                            Architects and engineers agree that buildings must be able to breathe; however, many commonly used underlayments and membranes trap condensation and moisture in wall cavities. "They 'seal' a building but also essentially minimize air exchange while increasing condensation, which can lead to poor indoor air quality, energy deficiencies and costly building damage," according to VaproShield managing partner, Phil Johnson.

                                            All VaproShield membranes allow a building to "breathe." Breather membranes allow vapor to permeate the material while protecting the building from damaging moisture by allowing vapor to escape, reducing condensation and allowing the structure to dry during and after construction.

                                            VaproShield has experienced double-digit growth over the past five years. From modest beginnings with a few reps around the country, they now boast representation in all 50 states with nation-wide distribution. Phil Johnson, managing partner says, "We have had interest in our product as far as away as Chile. This is an exciting time to be in the breathable membrane market. The entire industry is seeing that breathable membranes are energy efficient as well as helping to prevent mold and mildew."

                                            VaproShield offers high performance building envelope systems consisting of breathable membranes, rain screen design components and 3D window flashing elements that address client needs even in the most demanding climates. VaproShield membranes are breathable, water-shedding, weather-resistant barriers that provide high performance vapor control.

                                            VaproShield markets and distributes breathable, high performance building envelope solutions. They provide expertise in building envelope systems, increasing awareness of breathable, energy-efficient buidling envelopes vs. traditional "tight" buildings. VaproShield products support sustainable building practices and efforts to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in multiple categories; new construction and major renovations.

                                            VaproShield breathable, vapor permeable membranes and air barriers help to control the effects of condensation and water intrusion on the building envelope. Water intrusion can cause wood rot, swelling and distortion of lumber, corrosion of metal and reduction of insulation thermal performance.

                                            VaproShield breathable membranes are constructed from three-layer spun bonded polypropylene. The membranes are inert and can be recycled into their original bed form for reuse. VaproSillSaver and VaproBatten components are made from reprocessed residual vinyl trim material from old windows.

                                            VaproShield promotes sustainable business practices that support a strong economic base, environmental responsibility and respect for the community. VaproShield measures their success by designing and providing products that create and promote high-performance building envelopes, ensuring a healthy environment for all occupants while reducing overall building and operating costs.

                                            Why should I go to VaproShield?
                                            VaproShield membranes can be used with almost any type of exterior cladding or roofing material. You can use VaproShield membranes on new, retrofit, rain screen, open joint, air barrier, pressure-equalized and drain back vented building designs. They offer innovative product solutions, expertise in building envelope systems and solid third-party testing performance data to back their products.

                                            A Crash Course on Building Moisture Control

                                            What is a weather resistive barrier (WRB)?
                                            Weather resistive barriers are part of exterior wall systems designed to protect building materials from moisture penetration. Moisture can penetrate through a variety of places including cladding joints, and weather resistive barriers act as a secondary weather protection assembly. High performing permeable weather resistive barriers allow moisture vapor to escape and can resist air movement while ensuring building materials to remain dry and weather tight, increasing building performance, decreasing maintenance costs and reducing the risk of moisture-related problems such as mold, mildew, rot and sick building syndrome.

                                            Is mold, mildew and rot a problem in buildings?
                                            The North American building industry spends around $9 billion each year repairing and litigating damages from water and moisture. Risk management companies note that new materials used in building construction over the last 20 years were energy-efficient, but ventilation poor, resulting in toxic mold claims of over $3 billion. Air leakage can result in increased energy use of up to 30-40% in heating climates and 10-15% in cooling climates.

                                            What is a perm?
                                            A unit of water vapor transmission defined as 1 grain of water vapor per square foot per hour per inch of mercury pressure difference (1 inch mercury = 0.49 psi). Metric unit of measure is ng/m2 s Pa. 1 perm = 55 ng/m2 s Pa.

                                            What is permeability?
                                            The time rate of water vapor transmission through unit area of a material of unit thickness induced by unit vapor pressure difference between two specific surfaces, under specified temperature and humidity conditions.

                                            Why should I care about perms and permeability?
                                            Proper building envelope design promotes continual drying by allowing vapor to escape. Moisture can penetrate a building envelope through materials and rain/snow exposure during construction. General occupancy also adds to the moisture levels. Trapped moisture can cause wood rot, swelling and distortion of lumber, corrosion of metal and reduction of insulation thermal value. Any or all of these issues result in a high risk of mold, mildew, building deterioration, poor indoor air quality and health and safety risks to occupant's increases. In some states, new air tightness and energy saving requirements increase the possibility of trapped moisture, when low or non-permeable air barriers are utilized.

                                            Membranes with a higher perm value greater than 20 reduce the risk of condensation and promote escape of moisture through the building envelope. Additionally, membranes with a high perm value can help building materials "dry-out" during the construction phase.

                                            Simply put, when you wear a traditional rain slicker (1 perm) outside, you perspire because the moisture your body is making cannot escape.

                                            On the flip side, if you went outside with a high perm slicker lined with something like Goretex®, the moisture in your body can escape because the Goretex lining allows your body to "breathe."
                                            Buildings need to breathe just like our bodies.

                                            Casella VORTEX Ultra Flow Pump for Asbestos Sampling

                                            Casella's Vortex Ultra Flow Pump is designed for Asbestos testing.According to the United States Department of Labor, an estimated 1.3 million employees face significant asbestos exposure on the job. Heaviest exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition.

                                            The Casella VORTEX Ultra Flow sampling pump is the fastest, most convenient method to collect and count airborne asbestos fibers. It will continuously collect 6-20 liters of free air per minute for up to five hours to ensure a work environment safe from asbestos, or 6-12 liters per minute when used with a 0.8 micron filter. An asbestos head holds a gridded membrane for asbestos clearance sampling measurements or personal sampling.

                                            The VORTEX Ultra Flow's portable and robust metal case, its built-in carrying handle, and its optional mast are features that uniquely qualify the unit for asbestos clearance, leak checking, environmental and stack sampling applications that require a 6 - 20 liters/min flow range. An elapsed time counter, which can be reset via the tactile keypad, rounds out the impressive feature set..

                                            The set also includes a Tungsten Carbide tipped 15/32” straight bit with 1/4” shank, four bradawls, a T-Handle hex key, euro style and screw-on guide bushings and full instructions neatly packaged in a shoulder sling carrying case.

                                            The Trend 8-foot Hinge Jig accommodates hinges from 2-3/4” to 5-1/2” in length and 3/8” to 1-3/8” in width and it is simple to affix the jig to the door utilizing the bradawls supplied. The sale price on the Trend part #H/JIG/8FT is $275.20.

                                            For a complete door hanging solution, the Trend 8-foot Hinge jig is designed to be used in conjunction with the Trend Door Stand and Trend Door Clamp.
