Bell & Gossett, a Xylem brand, has unveiled an updated version of its Glycol Make-up Unit GF60 (GMU), a pressurized solution designed for closed hydronic heating or cooling systems.
The Bell & Gossett Glycol Make-up Unit GF60 (GMU) is an automated 110V diaphragm pump with digital control. Each engineered package is designed to maintain critical minimum pressure levels to make up for losses that may occur due to leakage. It comes with everything required for easy installation.
“All critical components required for maintenance are easily accessible under a removable top cover,” said Jim Wilkinson, product manager, packaged systems, Xylem Inc. “This eliminates the need to access awkwardly oriented components located on the underside of similar packages on the market.”
The automated system operates as needed to add water or water-glycol solution to a closed loop heating, chilled water, process, snowmelt or radiant heat system.
The versatile unit can handle output pressures from 7.5 to 70 psi and has a self-priming pump.
And unlike a traditional pressure switch, cut-in and cut-out pressure adjustments can be made easily using a digital display.
Digital control enables users to continuously monitor unit performance. In the event of a leak, the system immediately notifies the operator that the fluid level is dropping. The GMU safely shuts off the pump if the storage tank level gets too low, and a pressure relief valve provides protection from excess pressure.
“The package automatically notifies the operator if a leak develops,” said Wilkinson. “There’s also a low level protection that will stop pump operation if the fluid level becomes critically low.”
Additional features include:
- Self-filling system
- A ½-inch connection with a check valve for easy installation
- Translucent polyethylene solution container with lid
- An accumulator tank to prevent excessive pump cycling
- Air vent valve purges air on initial start-up and allows manual agitation of solution

Tool gives maximum control to users for seamless curve cuts when completing carpentry/woodworking, roofing, plumbing and remodeling projects
Bosch Power Tools, a global leader for power tools and power tool accessories, announced the latest tool in its saw lineup with the launch of the GST18V-50 18V Brushless Top-Handle Jig Saw. The powerful cordless jig saw delivers a strong cutting capability of up to 4.9 inches in wood. Its brushless motor delivers up to 3,500 no-load strokes per minute extending the motor’s runtime and improving cutting performance on tough projects.
For workers looking for efficiency on a range of cutting tasks, Bosch’s latest jig saw model simplifies blade changes and makes tracking the cut line seamless. The tool-free blade change system permits fast and convenient blade insertion and ejection to keep the work moving. The tool’s bright LED light illuminates the cut line in dark work areas, allowing workers to tackle tasks on a variety of jobsites efficiently. Complete with a built-in dust blower, workers can clear dust aside to navigate the cut line with ease.
The variable-speed control provides a dial to adjust the operating speed from 0-3,500 no-load strokes per minute. With the variable speed trigger, users can control the operating speed by feathering the trigger. Workers can select the right blade stroke for their specific project by choosing one of the four orbital action settings.
Complete with Bosch Power Tools’ CORE18V battery and designed with users in mind, Bosch Power Tools’ cordless jig saw delivers an extended runtime to help carpenters, remodelers, roofers, and plumbers get a quick cut done to accomplish a range of projects.

More Compact and Durable Design
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions announces the release of the new 900XL3 series small backflow preventer.
Combining the best technology and innovations from two of Zurn Elkay’s popular small backflow preventers, the 300 series and the 900 series, the new Zurn Wilkins® 900XL3 series boasts the shortest lay length of any all-bronze small backflow preventer on the market today for easier drop-in installation for contractors.
“Reduced size and the lowest cost-of-ownership are a couple of the many benefits offered by the new 900XL3 series small backflow preventer,” says John Mankins, Director of Product Management, Water Safety and Control for Zurn Elkay.
The new design of the 900XL3 provides faster installation and easier maintenance. Fast-test test cocks are positioned along the centerline for seamless accessibility and minimized space restrictions. The 900XL3 series also features modular cartridge internals and a single, top-access check cover for quicker and easier access when performing maintenance and repairs.
“Backflow installers and testers will enjoy the ease and durability of the 900XL3 series. With one of the lowest total installation costs on first-fit and a long lifecycle value, we are confident they will prefer this for new installations or retrofit applications,” continued Mankins. “Our EZSwap® check technology with top access, found in the 900XL3 series, can help contractors save up to 75% of labor time in repairs.”
The 900XL3 series is designed for residential or commercial applications. Available as a double check assembly (950XL3) in sizes from 3/4” to 2” or a reduced pressure principle (975XL3) in sizes from 1/2” to 2”, it is a great choice for any retrofit or new construction needs. Its all-bronze construction proves durable and long-lasting, even in harsh-environment tests.
The 900XL3 series meets lead-free environmental requirements and is fully compliant with ASSE® 1013 (1/2” to 2”) / 1015 (3/4” to 2”) and AWWA® C510. Moreover, the 900XL3 series is cUPC® listed, meets the requirements of NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372, and is approved by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California.

The latest indoor plumbing leak technology does more than alert you when a leak occurs – it also offers valuable real-time insight into water consumption via flow monitoring.
The RSC-900-F from Reliance Detection Technologies (RDT) is a wireless, commercial-grade solution for detecting plumbing leaks and monitoring a building’s water usage trends to identify excessive water usage in real-time. If an abnormal flow is detected, the water supply is automatically shut off to prevent water damage, and an alert is sent to the property owner or manager’s smartphone so that they can address the issue.
The subscription-free RSC-900 app provides real-time and historical water consumption data and puts complete system control at a user’s fingertips. Multiple flow schedules can be set, with adjustable flow alarms that can be fine-tuned to a property’s usage patterns. The system’s shut-off valve can also be controlled remotely.
RDT leak detection systems are known for their reliable, commercial-grade components, and the RSC-900-F is no exception. It features a brass, lead-free flow sensor and self-cleaning shut-off valve built for years of reliable, continuous use, with corrosion-resistant internal sensor components, including a rust-proof, hard ferrite magnet.
The RSC-900 is a modular system that allows you to configure the perfect solution for monitoring every building’s unique water leak vulnerabilities. Add wireless point-of-contact water leak sensors and multiple shut-off valves, set up multiple leak detection “zones,” and much more. RDT’s leak detection experts are available to help engineers specify the best solution for their projects.
