NYLON CHECK VALVE

Two-piece, glass-reinforced

The company's new check valve design reportedly improves oil flow control in marine and industrial engines while reducing part weight and cost. The two-piece oil filter check valve is made of glass-reinforced Nylon, and it is designed to allow switching between two oil filters during regular engine operation. The two molded components incorporate special rubber seals that are chemically and mechanically bonded to each end of the valve, preventing oil flow to one filter during operation while allowing oil flow to the second filter.

PUMP DISPENSER

Uses peristaltic pump technology

Providing "volumetric" dispensing of low-viscosity materials, such as cyanoacrylates, oils, and solvents without the need for compressed air, the PPD-130 peristaltic pump dispenser dispenses material directly from its original packaging. According to the company, this reduces the risk of material contamination and operator contact by eliminating the need to transfer the material from its original packaging. Dispensed amounts can be controlled manually or with the built-in timer, the company adds. I&J Fisnar Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3857-600

RODLESS CYLINDER

Three bore sizes available

VACUUM PUMPS

Trouble-free service

With parts made from wetted aluminum for corrosion protection, the Series 2119V diaphragm pumps from Rietschle Thomas work in class B steam autoclaves. The pumps, which provide up to 27 inches Hg vacuum and have a maximum flow rate of 0.81 CFM, offer resistance to steam and water because their umbrella valves and diaphragms are constructed of EPDM. Also, the pumps provide durability from their engineered resin and die-cast aluminum construction. Rietschle Thomashttp://rbi.ims.ca/3857-602

CONVERTIBLE WATER JET PUMP

Six available pressures

This pump combines the power of 350 or 425 hp with the flexibility of changing pressures. Designed for long life and fast conversions, the pump features a slow-running triplex plunger pump, hard-coated valves and plungers, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. A poly-chain system and water pressure-actuated throttle control adjust output to operator demand. Because it requires fewer parts to change pressures than other convertible pumps, the product reportedly reduces cost and downtime. The basic kit offers six pressures: 8,000; 10,000; 13,000; 15,000; 17,000; or 20,000 psi. NLB Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/3857-603
