Low Water Cutoffs

supplyhouse offers Low Water Cutoffs (LWCO) that provides accurate and dependable protection for all types of boilers, from small residential hot water boilers to large industrial steam units. The LWCO is a probe-style, microprocessor-based control that detects the fluid level in hot water and steam boilers and reacts when the level falls below the minimum safe operating level specified by the boiler manufacturer.

The LWCO also acts as the primary or secondary low water cutoff on low-pressure steam boilers, the primary limit control on hot water boilers and protects pumps from running dry in condensate receiver tank applications. The LWCO can also activate alarm systems or automatic water feeders.

Mcdonnell Miller is the industry’s leader in low water cutoffs. supplyhouse offers a large selection of Mcdonnell Miller cutoffs at very affordable rates. If there is any part you can't find, send us an e-mail or give us a call. supplyhouse also sells a large selection of Mcdonnell Miller Water Feeders. Taco, the leader in Hydronic Heating Pumps & Valves, also makes a line of Low water cutoffs.

A PEX Tube is used to distribute water in PEX Plumbing, Radiant Heat, and other Hydronic Heating Systems. When using PEX Tube for heating purposes, Oxygen Barrier PEX such as ThermaPEX, Wirsbo hePEX, Mr. PEX-al-PEX, and Multicor PEX-al-PEX Tubing should be used. There are several different types of tubes available at supplyhouse.com. The following are just some of the most popular:

ThermaPEX: it’s a PEX-Tubing with an Oxygen Barrier for Radiant Heat. It is manufactured by LK PEX the second largest manufacturer of PEX in Europe. It’s designed for use in Radiant Heat and Snow Melt Systems, rated by the PPI: 200°F at 80 psi, 180°F at 100 psi, and 73.4°F at 160 psi. ThermaPEX tubing also meets DIN 4726. ThermaPEX is a high quality PEX Tubing with a competitive price and is available for same day shipping for orders received before 2 pm EST.

Wirsbo Multicor PEX-al-PEX: It’s a multi-layered composite tubing consisting of interior aluminum tubing lined with inner and outer layers of PEX. It offers 100% Oxygen diffusion and can be embedded in concrete or installed in wall, floors, and ceilings. The aluminum layer is what creates the oxygen barrier. Perhaps the best quality of PEX-al-PEX Tubing is its thermal memory. Once the tubing is shaped a certain way, it will hold that shape.

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.

supplyhouse.com offers Zurn Grease Traps widely used in the food industry at very affordable rates with free shipping for purchases over $300.

Taco Flo Control Valves

We offer competitive prices on Taco Flo-Control Valves, which can be used in forced hot water heating systems to prevent "gravity˜ circulation during periods when the boiler is hot, but the space heating zone is not wanted. Taco Flo-Cheks come in several sizes and connection types.

For more than 40 years, designers and installers have used Taco Flo-Control Valves in forced hot water heating systems to prevent (gravity˜ circulation during periods when the boiler is hot, but the space heating zone is not wanted. The Taco Flo-Check therefore makes it possible to use the heating boiler to maintain domestic hot water year-round. Therefore Flo-Control Valves prevent gravity flow in forced hot water systems, and permit summer/winter operation of indirect water heaters.

Taco Flo-Control Valves have a combination of straight/angle configurations in sizes 3/4 ″ to 2 ″ for easy installation. They have removable top caps as well that allows easy cleaning and service without removing pipe connections. The manual operating position for vertical lift disc permits gravity circulation.
