  • Straub pipe couplings
    The installation of a Straub pipe joint is claimed to be fast, simple and reliable with the compact product being simply pushed over the pipe ends and tightened.
  • H2O Rx ECO valve
    Excess pressure build-up can compromise fluid systems and destroy expensive pumps and fittings. Siphoning can lead to chemical wastage and loss of process control, and a lack of sufficient back pressure can lead to inaccuracies in metering of chemicals. The H2O Rx ECO Valve can be used to address all these complications.
