Showing off the latest and greatest in plumbing technologies, the 2014 AHR Expo featured 1,800 exhibitors over 387,000 square feet of exhibit space in New York City. With products ranging from Internet-enabled boilers and water heaters to self-sensing pumps and “smart” thermostats, the industrial show had something for everyone in the plumbing business.
One technology making life easier for contractors and plumbers is a pipe support system called the Pipe Prop. Installed by contractors, plumbers, and savvy do-it-yourself homeowners to provide stable and secure pipe support, this is the system that has become popular for its efficiency and simplicity of installation.
Plumbing Products Aplenty
One product on display at the AHR Expo is an advanced drain line camera system. The camera comes with 100 feet of cable and can save still or video pictures via a USB drive. As the camera is self-leveling, it promises to make the task of investigating internal pipe problems much smoother for the professionals who use it. Like the pipe support system, this innovation will save plumbers and homeowners a lot of grief.
