Fiberscope MiniFlex 19 portable inspection camera
The MiniFlex 19 from Fiberscope is an advanced, portable plumbing inspection camera built to navigate challenging pipeline environments. It is designed for tight-radius bends and small-diameter pipes starting at 1 1/4 inches. Its patented super-flexible neck lets the camera maneuver through multiple 90-degree bends and P-traps where standard push cameras typically get stuck. Beyond its flexibility, the MiniFlex 19 has a fully portable, all-in-one design featuring an integrated 8-inch touchscreen and up to seven hours of battery life. Crucially, the system is completely modular. The main components — including the camera head, push cable and control unit — can be easily replaced by the owner in the field. This completely bypasses the costly downtime from shipping equipment for repair and keeps your team working. With a built-in 512Hz sonde, the MiniFlex 19 is the ultimate, reliable inspection tool for complex plumbing, HVAC and electrical conduits. 877-613-2210; www.fiberscope.net
Superior Signal 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower
Superior Signal’s 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower is designed for smoke-testing building plumbing and laterals to quickly find faults, odors, leaks and inflow. The 5E FLEX is compatible with leading 18- to 20-volt tool batteries utilizing a high-quality power adapter. The 5E FLEX smoke blower integrates with existing electric toolsets or can run off any 12- to 24-volt DC power source. Smoke-testing is a cost-effective solution ideal for hard-to-find faults in commercial, residential and municipal facilities. While the 5E blower is popular for a variety of plumbing applications, it is also particularly useful in testing sewer laterals, showing where a fault or leak may occur on private property. Made in the USA, the 5E FLEX comes with an 8-foot industrial grade hose. Used with 1A or 2B Superior smoke candles, it creates 4,000 or 8,000 cubic feet of smoke respectively. Superior Smoke candles are also sold in convenient SealPac cans that extend shelf life. 732-251-0800; www.superiorsignal.com/crflex
Prime Resins Prime Flex Hydro Gel EXP injection resin
Prime Flex Hydro Gel EXP from Prime Resins is a versatile, easy-to-use single component, water activated, hydrophilic polyurethane injection resin for sealing actively leaking joints and cracks in below-grade concrete structures. It forms either a closed cell, watertight foam or impermeable gel depending on the water-to-resin mix ratio. Cured material remains flexible and has excellent adhesion. It can also be used for soil binding for slough control. Primary applications include crack injection to seal leaks, particularly structures subject to movement or vibration, and curtain grouting manholes to seal cracks and penetrations. Other applications include soil binding for slough control and sidewall support. The resin is phthalate-free, seals tight or wide cracks and can be used with oakum to seal wide gaps. High elongation allows for thermal or structural movement, and the resin is nonflammable, noncorrosive and can be used underwater. 800-321-7212; www.primeresins.com
COXREELS inline swivel for spring-driven reels
Prior to COXREELS’ enhancement to the spring-driven 1 1/4-inch and 1 1/2-inch SLPL models, these models came standard with COXREELS’ aluminum inline swivel. COXREELS eliminated the aluminum inline swivel on five SLPL models (725, 750, 825, 835, and 850) and incorporated a nickel-plated steel inline swivel (from the 1185 Series). This swivel increases the pressure rating of the inline plumbing from 250 to 1,500 psi. The nickel-plated steel is also more rugged and durable than the aluminum swivel that it replaces. The new swivel includes COXREELS multilobe seals for improved leak integrity. The swivel is also available in stainless steel, which gives customers a choice with their stainless steel fluid path requirements. The stainless steel inline swivel fluid path is more cost-effective than the 90-degree swivel stainless steel fluid path. The inline swivel also boasts a more efficient, less restrictive flow path than the 90-degree swivel. 800-269-7335; www.coxreels.com
