***Chemical Spray Protection
Overalls
|
ROSWELL, GA: KLEENGUARD* A70 Chemical Spray Protection Coveralls
provide excellent protection for hazardous waste remediation,
environmental clean-up, petrochemical and oil refining, acid and caustic
handling, biohazard clean-up, tank cleaning and pharmaceutical
manufacturing. They feature only taped and bound seams, not lesser
quality serged seams. A patented Reflex* design provides a seamless
chest area, a primary splash zone, and an elastic waist for better fit.
The design also offers 12 percent more chest room and 6 percent longer
body length. Other features include a water-resistant zipper and
wick-away lining for enhanced comfort. Since the coveralls fit better
and are quieter than competitive products, workers are more likely to
wear them longer and be more productive. ---Kimberly-Clark Professional

***Combustible Gas Sniffer Offers Unique
Tri-Mode Detection***
|
ELYRIA, OH: Micro CG-10™ combustible gas sniffer quickly and
accurately detects gas leakage. Offering unique Tri-Mode
Detection™, an operator is alerted to the presence of combustible
gas with a visible signal, audible alarm or silent vibration. The Micro
CG-100 gas sniffer quickly and accurately detects low levels of methane
(including natural gas), propane, butane, ammonia, and many other
combustible gases. It is ideal for users who work in maintenance,
utility, plumbing, or HVAC. The silent vibration alert vibrates more
frequently as the user gets closer to gas, and is ideal for noisy
daytime construction environments and to avoid unnecessary alarm. The
Micro CG-100 gas sniffer can be adjusted to high- or low-level
sensitivity within a wide overall range (40 ppm to 6400 ppm for
methane). These features help users more quickly and easily locate both
smaller and larger leaks. ---Ridgid Tool Co

Presentation topic: "Push.
Click. Done. - New Universal Push to Connect Assembly"
Sponsor: Parker Hannifin - Tube Fittings
Division
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 11:00am EDT
Parkers new Universal Push to Connect design takes the guess work
out of assembling fluid power connections. Current assembly of threaded
connectors is slow and relies on proper torques and assembly procedures.
Parker’s new design saves time and money by eliminating the wrenching
of hose ends to fittings and the costly rework of improperly assembled
connections.
Simply insert the male hose end into the Universal Push to Connect
fitting and assembly is complete. If a hose needs to be replaced or
maintenance performed, a standard wrench is all you need. Because the
design utilizes standard O-ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings, an
off-the-shelf ORFS hose assembly can be used to replace any that are
damaged, therefore minimizing downtime.
