NPN-120E provides 4.2 GPM at 45° F temperature rise and stays in-line with the rest of the NPN series at 0.81 UEF.
The NPN series is the first and only non-condensing tankless series to offer NaviTech™ technology that includes a stainless-steel heat exchanger and an advanced stainless-steel burner with the same very low NOx level as the NPE condensing tankless water heaters. NPN-E units have recirculation control built into their circuit boards and are designed with a pin-to-pin matching configuration for easy retrofit installations.
Additional features of the NPN series include: wi-fi remote control capability with NaviLink™, low noise levels for quiet operation, and a sleek, space-saving and lightweight design.

Carrier has introduced its new air monitor, a simple, cost-effective way to monitor the quality of indoor air in almost any room of a house, apartment or office space, and the most recent addition to Carrier’s growing suite of Healthy Homes solutions. As people are more focused on the health of their indoor environments than ever before, it is imperative that they take steps to improve their living and working spaces, including the air they breathe. With a Carrier air monitor, they are one step closer to being more informed about their indoor air quality and determining solutions for creating a healthier environment. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions.
Users can simply place the Carrier air monitor in their room of choice, plug it in and connect the device to the Carrier Home app.1 The air monitor continuously samples the air in the room, measures levels of particulates and features sensors that detect the level of fine particles (2.5 microns or smaller) that may be associated with health effects such as potential lung damage, asthma development and increased allergy symptoms. The monitor features an LED ring light that provides instant, constant air quality status.
For spaces that may have high levels of Total Volatile Organic Compounds
(TVOCs), the Carrier air monitor includes a sensor that detects the concentration of such compounds, which can be emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids and may be linked with potential health concerns.
Consumers can use the Carrier Home app to access their air monitor’s output
from anywhere. The app has the capability to pair with multiple Carrier Healthy Home devices on a single dashboard. The app paired with the Carrier air monitor offers a number of useful features including:
- Shares a Carrier indoor air health score.
- Provides indoor air quality concentration for certain pollutants (PM2.5: 2.5 microns or smaller), TVOCs, relative humidity & temperature.
- Provides personalized notifications of current and trending air quality in the space.
- Provides educational information about PM2.5, TVOCs and relative humidity.
- Gives an update on the current outdoor air quality.
“Our new air monitor allows users to learn more about their indoor air quality
within their living spaces,” said Holly Rhodes, Associate Director, Indoor Air Quality Products, Carrier. “Understanding these unique conditions makes the invisible – the quality of the air we breathe – visible and allows consumers to uncover and improve potentially hidden issues in order to help create a healthier indoor environment.”
The Carrier air monitor is the latest device among a number of solutions offered
through Carrier’s Healthy Homes Program that can aid in addressing indoor air quality.
Other offerings include the Infinity® whole-home air purifier; the portable smart air purifier; HVAC system filters with high MERV ratings; UV lights installed inside HVAC equipment; as well as humidifiers and dehumidifiers to help address humidity levels in the home to help increase comfort.

RLS LLC, manufacturer of the Rapid Locking System line of flame-free press-to-connect fittings for HVAC and refrigeration systems, announces that Milwaukee® Tool, in partnership with RLS, has introduced RLS-compatible jaws for use with its popular M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Press Tools.
Available in sizes from 1/4″ – 1-3/8″, these new RLS ACR Press Jaws will allow M18 tool users to take advantage of the time-saving and safety benefits of flame-free RLS press connections for HVAC/R, without needing to invest in a new press tool. These are the industry’s first jaws approved to press RLS fittings using 32 kN (kilonewton) tools.
In addition, the new Milwaukee jaws are also compatible with a wide range of other 32 kN tools on the market, including those from manufacturers such as RIDGID, Klauke, Viega, Dewalt, NovoPress and Rothenberger. Contractors who already own any of these tools will only need to purchase the Milwaukee jaws to begin installing RLS fittings.
Milwaukee’s RLS-compatible jaws will be sold exclusively through Milwaukee distributors. Contact Milwaukee or visit milwaukeetool.com for details. For more information on RLS press fittings, and a complete RLS Tool & Jaw Compatibility Matrix, visit rapidlockingsystem.com.
About RLS Fittings
RLS press fittings connect in 10 seconds using a battery-powered tool and jaws, replacing the time-consuming process of manually brazing HVAC/R joints. The fittings result in faster, more consistent connections that reduce total installed costs, while also increasing jobsite safety by eliminating the use of an open flame. More than 10 million RLS fittings have been successfully installed since their introduction in 2015
