Grease Trap

supplyhouse has a wide range of grease traps that are used to eliminate grease and oil from wastewater. They are mostly used in commercial kitchens and restaurants. Grease Traps slow the flow of wastewater using a holding tank. Once the water is slowed down, it cools and allows the grease to separate from the water. The cooled water is then allowed to exit the grease trap while the grease is trapped.

Grease traps is an innovative and eco-friendly drain cleaner, making it the perfect solution to drainage problems caused by the build-up of grease, oil and fat in commercial kitchens and restaurants. The use of harsh caustic chemical cleaners or acids for clearing unwanted obstructions is no longer guaranteed to solve the problem. Not only are these chemicals dangerous for both the user and the environment, but also detrimental to the existing plumbing, drain-lines and drainage installations. Now it’s been made mandatory for grease trap installation in all facilities where food is prepared on a commercial scale.

The size of a grease trap required depends upon the amount of waste that is produced by a given facility. To determine the correct size grease trap use the dimensions of the waste sinks. The traps are differentiated by their pounds and gallons per minute. Grease Traps can be placed under the sink or they can be buried.

Radiant Heat Manifolds

Manifolds play an important role in Radiant Heat applications. Manifolds are the place where supply water from the heat source is separated into smaller lines and dispersed throughout the Radiant Heat System. It comes with Supply and return manifold, End Caps, End Cap w/ Vent, Mounting Bracket, and Loop Adapters for 1/2" PEX and 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX. Not included are the Supply/return adapters, PEX Tubing, and Controls.

The entire radiant floor heating manifold & control packages comes with the control panel and the pump wired with plug-in cords attached. This allows you to plug the heating system into a small generator during power outages plus it allows you to replace the circulating pump without rewiring. In case of a control panel or zone valve failure the pump can be plugged into the wall to bypass the controls. These solid manifolds are self-purging and the insert/compression style fittings require no special tools for making your connections.

Manifolds won't tarnish or corrode, they are made of solid cast brass. We customize your manifold and control assembly per your project requirements.

Each loop has its' own flow control adjustment for balancing and can be isolated if necessary.

Connections are simple and require no specialized tools. Simply insert the PEX and tighten the compression nut.

Manifolds are self-purging.

Actuator valves are low voltage and slow to open. This eliminates noise from water hammer and reduces power consumption.

High-Efficiency, High-Head, High Quality Pump features an easy to replace cartridge for easy future maintenance. It's virtually silent and pre-wired to simplify your radiant heating installation.

Pex Manifolds

PEX Plumbing Manifolds are used to ease the installation of PEX Plumbing systems. These manifolds include the Wirsbo Aquacenter manifolds and copper manifolds. Be sure to select the right fittings and adapters to go along with these manifolds.

Wirsbo’s Aqucenter Valved Manifold comes with three or four NPSM or ProPEX outlets. The Aquacenter is made from EP, suitable for hot and cold-water distribution systems. The manifolds can be joined to other Aquacenter Valved Manifolds using manifold couplings, and can be supplied with 3/4- or 1-inch ProPEX inlets. The kit includes manifold, red and blue valve clips, labels, valve-turning tool and installation instructions. Valved manifold inlets, couplings, caps, swivel adapters and assembly/mounting brackets are purchased separately.

Wirsbo 1" Copper Valved Manifolds (type "L" copper) feature 1/2" ProPEX outlets is a soldered valve connection that allows simple and easy isolation of individual loops. Copper Manifold Sections can sweat together to extend the number of outlets using a standard 1-inch copper coupling. Do not exceed accepted flow rates for 1-inch nominal copper. Both 1-inch ends of this PEX Manifold are copper pipe size and require a copper end cap, coupling or transition fitting to make the proper system connection. ProPEX Tool is required as well as ProPEX Rings that are purchased separately.

Pex Fittings & Pex Valves

PEX Fittings are used for connections in Radiant Heat applications. supplyhouse.com has three types of PEX Fittings. They include: the Wirsbo QS-Style Fittings (compression), the Wirsbo SSC PEX Fittings (Clamp style), and the Wirsbo ProPEX Fittings (Expansion style). Each of these systems has advantages over the other.

Wirsbo QS-Style Fittings (compression): are designed and tested for use with Wirsbo AQUAPEX and the PEX plus tubing.

Wirsbo SSC PEX Fittings (Clamp style): They require the SSC Clamping Tool and Clamps. They are barbed and can make connections to copper, or ips.

Wirsbo ProPEX Fittings (Expansion style): manufactured by Uponor, formerly known as Wirsbo. The fittings are widely used throughout the US and Europe for PEX Tubing connections. Each PEX Fitting connection requires the use of a ProPEX expansion tool and a ProPEX ring.

Also included in PEX Fittings are Fitting assemblies that allow you to connect PEX to a manifold, or to use compression fittings to connect PEX to copper or NPT. The valves included in this category include PEX Ball Valves, PEX Stop Valves, and PEX Washing Machine Boxes & Ice Maker Boxes. These valves are designed for use in PEX Plumbing and Radiant Heat systems.

Aquapex tubing

Aquapex is the leading brand of potable water both hot and cold PEX Tubing. Uponor Wirsbo manufactures this brand of PEX Tubing. Aquapex may be used in radiant heat applications where there are no ferrous metal or iron components. However Wirsbo Aquapex is more commonly used for PEX Plumbing applications.

Aquapex meets ASTM F876 and F877, and is certified to NSF standards 14 and 61. It is rated by the PPI: 200°F at 80 psi, 180°F at 100 psi, and 73.4°F at 160 psi. Aquapex Tubing comes in white, red, and blue. The Aquapex tubing is exactly the same just color coated for installation purposes for both hot and cold lines.

Aquapex may be used with the Wirsbo Expander Tool, the SSC Ratchet Tool, or PEX Compression Fittings. It’s an extremely uniform product with high temperature, pressure and chemical resistance. There are several different kinds of PEX tubing on the market and they are not all alike. Aquapex tubing has distinctive properties that make it ideal for plumbing and fire protection applications. The tubing is UL listed for use in residential fire protection systems.

Even though Wirsbo Aquapex does not have an oxygen diffusion barrier, it can be used in an open or open loop heating system. Corrosive or ferrous components should not be used in Aquapex circulating systems.

Taco valves

Taco created the WAGS valve to protect consumers from a common problem: flooding and damage caused by a water heater failure. It happens some 5.5 million times every year. Every water heater fails, most within 7 to 10 years. And because water continues to be supplied, a leaking water heater can pour hundreds or thousands of gallons of water into the home, damaging floors, rugs, furniture, personal items and the structure itself.

The WAGS (Water And Gas Shut-off) Valve eliminates the problem by automatically shutting off the water supply when a leak occurs. On gas-fired water heaters, WAGS also shuts off the gas supply to eliminate another potentially serious hazard.
WAGS can easily be installed on new or existing water heaters, both to protect the homeowner's property and give them peace of mind.

All homeowners are discovering the wisdom of having a WAGS Water And Gas Safety valve installed on their water heater. No matter the brand or how much the cost, the fact is, every water heater will eventually fail, usually within 7 to 10 years. Without a Taco WAGS valve, a leaking tank will keep refilling and leaking. An undetected water heater leak can release hundreds, even thousands, of gallons of water. For the first time, you can offer a solution to a problem that affects over 5.5 million households every year by opting for Taco valves.

Radiant Heat Installation Accessories

To run a Radiant Heat system efficiently, there are several other products needed to properly install and operate the Radiant Heat system. Radiant Floor Heating represents the fastest growing segment of the hydronic heating industry. Some of the main products required to run a radiant heat system effectively include Installation accessories. The installation accessories are needed to install PEX Tubing for Radiant Heat systems. These accessories include:

• Bend supports; needed for making turns with PEX Tubing, and for attaching PEX Tubing to different surfaces.


• Wirsbo joist heating hangers; provide support for the structure for PEX Tubing in joist heating applications. Zip ties or fixing wire can be used to attach PEX to the hangers.


• Wirsbo PEX Rails; secures PEX Tubing to concrete floors and wood sub floors. These PEX rails are not designed for joist heating applications.


• Tube Talons; connect PEX Tubing to wood surfaces. They can be used for PEX Plumbing and Radiant Heat Applications. Wirsbo tube talons are one of the most popular products for radiant heat systems
• PEX Clips; attach PEX Tubing to under the wood sub-floor for joist heating applications. Drywall screws can be used to attach the PEX Clips.


• Steel Plate Protector; protects tubing from possible damage by drywall, trim screws or nails, etc.

These installation accessories are needed to properly install and run a Radiant Heat system. For more information visit: supplyhouse

Taco Pumps

Pumps are an integral part of any Hydronic system. The pumps are used to send water to an area of the hydronic system when required, or to keep the flow of water in the system. For proper installation the pumps should be purchased with a pair of flanges to connect to the water line. .

Taco Pumps are the best selling pumps on SupplyHouse.com. These pumps include the Taco Cast Iron Pumps, the Taco Cast Iron IFC Pumps, and the Taco Bronze Pumps. Taco Pumps are ideal for radiant heat systems. The may be used in the primary loop, or for zoning purposes they may be used along with a swithing relay and thermostats. The best selling Taco pump is the Taco 007 Cast Iron Circulator Pump.

The different models of pumps reflect the flow-rate and head loss that is needed by a given system. The Taco 007 Pump has 7 feet of head loss with a flow rate of 5 gpm. Essentially the greater the number of the Taco Pump the more fluid the pump can move. The more precisely the pump is sized to the system; the better the system will work. However, for most residential applications the best-suited Taco Pump is the Taco 007.

Oxygen Barrier PEX Tubing

Oxygen diffusion is a topic often mentioned when discussing Radiant HeatSystems. Oxygen diffusion refers to the ability of oxygen to pass through certain materials such as PEX. The problem with oxygen diffusion is that it can cause corrosion of metal(iron, cast iron) components in a Radiant Heat or hydronic heating system. The solution to this problem is to use oxygen barrier PEX tubing such as Wirsbo hePEX Tubing, Mr. PEX-al-PEX Tubing, and Wirsbo Multicor Tubing. This oxygen barrier tubing will prevent oxygen from damaging any of the components in the system.

Wood Flooring with Radiant Heat

There are many myths and misconceptions regarding the use of wood floors over a Radiant Heat System. However, there are several important things to remember. First 80 degrees should be the max floor temperature used for wood floors. Next, the narrower the boards (the more nails, and the more boards) the less the movement will be due to expansion and contraction of the wood. Finally the harder the wood the more stable it will be, and quarter sawn wood is more preferrable (but it is much more expensive). Floor sensors are a good tool to use with wood floors in a radiant heat system.

DIN 4726

DIN 4726 is a standard that is often mentioned when referring to PEX Tubing. This is a measure of the ability of PEX Tubing to prevent oxygen diffusion. This is a German Standard, which all of the oxygen barrier PEX and PEX-al-PEX on SupplyHouse.com pass. The Oxygen barrier prevents rusting of ferrous components in hydronic heating systems.
