As showcased in the Uponor booth at the 2020 NAHB International Builder’s Show (IBS), Phyn, the leader in intelligent water solutions backed by Uponor and Belkin International, showcases its commitment to innovation in sustainable and water efficient construction products and technology with the introduction of Phyn Plus Pro Edition.

Created for and sold exclusively to professional channels including home builders and the residential construction community, Phyn Plus Pro Edition shares all of the best-in-class capabilities of the award-winning consumer Phyn Plus Smart Water Assistant + Shutoff product, the most accurate and comprehensive whole-home smart water monitoring solution on the market.

The Phyn Plus Pro Edition is enhanced with features that are optimized for installation at scale, including an ethernet port, a direct scan QR code for quick setup, and a unique rough-in “blank” to hold the place of the device until the finish plumbing stages of construction.

The adoption of smart home technology in standard new-home construction is growing at a rapid pace as more consumers want to stay connected to their homes for added security, convenience and comfort. 81% of home buyers are more likely to purchase a home with smart technology already installed. Not only does Phyn’s smart technology add to the overall value of a home, but also creates a more eco-friendly residence that supports the overwhelming majority of people looking to live more sustainably.

“In working with home builders we discovered that they have unique needs that the existing solutions on the market have not yet met,” said Ryan Kim, CEO of Phyn. “With the Pro Edition, we listened and took the opportunity to incorporate both their business as well as operational needs to develop an extension of our best-in-class Phyn Plus product that makes it easy for them to integrate into the existing life cycle of a new home build.”

Installed on a single location on the main water line, Phyn Plus Pro Edition is an innovative smart home device that protects and monitors a home’s entire plumbing system. The device analyzes microscopic changes in water pressure — 240 times every second — to fingerprint each water fixture and give homeowners unprecedented insight into their water consumption. From the smallest drip leak to frozen pipes, Phyn ensures homes are water tight and can automatically shut off the main water in the event of a catastrophic leak to mitigate damage.

With a sleek, durable, and compact design that is built for quick installation, the Phyn Plus Pro Edition features an integrated power supply that is built into the device. Additionally, the Pro Edition includes an ethernet port for the device to be hardwired to the home’s network instead of having to only rely on the homeowner’s WiFi. This is key in situations where the device may be installed in a part of the property where the WiFi signal may not adequately reach.

Professional channels will be able to purchase the Phyn Plus Pro Edition for $499 starting in Q3 of 2020. The device joins Phyn’s growing lineup of award-winning products, which includes the recently announced Phyn XL 1.5” and the Phyn XL 2” created for larger homes, new construction and light commercial properties with supply lines up to 2”. Phyn’s robust product suite now offers a full range of leak detection and water monitoring solutions for every type of residence, ranging from the DIY installed Phyn Smart Water Assistant to the professionally- installed Phyn Plus, Phyn XL1.5” and Phyn XL 2”.

Builders and professional installers may contact Phyn at Phyn.com for more information about the Phyn Plus Pro Edition.

Marketair Inc., an Edison, N.J.-based supplier of specialized and innovative installation components for the North American HVAC market, introduces the Disconnect Standby Switch (DSS), the industry’s only electrical disconnect box with a ready-access standby portable generator port/switch for powering residential or light commercial air conditioner/heat pump condensers during power outages.

Marketair Disconnect Standby Switch for AC/Heat Pump CondensersMarketair Inc., an Edison, N.J.-based supplier of specialized and innovative installation components for the North American HVAC market, introduces the Disconnect Standby Switch (DSS), the industry’s only electrical disconnect box with a ready-access standby portable generator port/switch for powering residential or light commercial air conditioner/heat pump condensers during power outages.

As North American power unreliability increases due to an aging electric grid and intensified weather-related events, the DSS–combined with a portable generator– ensures quick, reliable indoor air comfort within minutes for homeowners and tenants during power outages.

The DSS differs from common condenser electrical disconnect boxes, because it features a three-position toggle that switches from–“PWR” (house power), “OFF” (disconnect mode), and “GEN” (generator position). It’s wired the same as a conventional disconnect box, but uses a plug-and-play whip. If a power outage or brownout occurs, condenser power can resume within seconds by connecting a working generator’s extension cord to the DSS’s grounded three-wire male 120V receptacle (four-wire on 240V models) and activating the standby switch. No rewiring is required.

Assembled in the USA with UL-listed components, the DSS was developed specifically for air conditioners/heat pumps. It’s constructed of a 6 x 6 x 6-inch (152 x 152 x 152-mm) aluminum, corrosion-resistant, NEMA-rated weatherproof box (when in use). The transparent plastic, code-compliant locking cover allows sightlines to the interior power status LED red (generator) and green (house power) lights. It’s available in three voltage/amperages: 1) DSS15–15 amp/120V; 2) DSS25–25 amp/240V; and DSS30–30 amp/240V.

Other DSS features include:

  • Available with an optional 75KA surge protector;
  • All aluminum, stainless steel and plastic construction for coastal salt environments;
  • Packaged in a white, bar-coded 8 x 8 x 8-inch (203 x 203 x 203-mm) cardboard box with illustrations (5-lbs gross—(2.2-k));
  • Becomes a life/safety guarantee for heat pump systems during winter outages;
  • Designed for both ductless and smaller unitary systems;
  • One-year limited warranty/lifetime limited warranty on surge protector;
  • When combined with a portable generator, the DSS offers indoor air comfort while saving tens of thousands of dollars on a whole house generator purchase;
  • Double pole/double throw switch prevents back-feed during power outages;
  • Ideal for zero lot line situations or when local property codes don’t permit permanently-installed generators.

The DSS is available at many participating North American HVAC/R wholesale distributors or direct from Marketair. For more information on other innovative Marketair HVAC/R products, please visit www.marketair.com.

Aquatherm, a leader in high-performance polypropylene piping systems, announced the addition of molded fittings in 45s, 90s, and tees for its SDR 9, 11, and 17.6 product lines.

Aquatherm Molded FittingsAquatherm, a leader in high-performance polypropylene piping systems, announced the addition of molded fittings in 45s, 90s, and tees for its SDR 9, 11, and 17.6 product lines. The molded fittings are available in nominal sizes up to 10-in.

There are two types of molded fittings:

  • Short radius (SR) molded fittings are injection-molded in the Aquatherm factory and come off the production line as a single piece of polypropylene. They are less expensive than segmented fittings, with a thicker wall and no change to inner diameter, offering increased strength. Short radius fittings can be integrated into tight spaces, leaving more room for equipment and other utilities. The molded 90s will have a higher pressure drop compared to segmented 90s.
  • Segmented standard dimension (SD) fittings are segments of Aquatherm pipe fused together by certified Aquatherm employees to create the 45, 90 or tee. The segmented 90s feature a larger bend radius and somewhat less pressure drop compared to the molded 90s.

Detailed information including dimensional data is available in the Aquatherm QCE Tool and the online version of the Aquatherm Design & Planning Guide. Both SR and SD molded fittings are guaranteed to be leak-free and are covered by Aquatherm’s comprehensive 10-year multimillion-dollar warranty.
