Flood-Guard from General Pipe Cleaners.

Flood-Guard® General Pipe Cleaners

Prevent basement flooding and messy floors with the Flood-Guard from General Pipe Cleaners. Available for 2-, 3- and 4-inch floor drains, the Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to seal off water backup caused by overloaded sewers. Water flows normally through the drain until the sewer begins to back up. Then the Flood-Guard float rises to seal off the drain opening until the water recedes. A screwdriver and a couple of minutes are all you need to install the Flood-Guard. Once in place, it can prevent property damage and a very messy clean-up job. The Flood-Guard is also available in a stand pipe model for handling extreme, extended pressure. www.drainbrain.com/specialties.

Yeomans Chicago Corp.

Effective Solids Handling Yeomans Chicago Corp.

A common problem in the design of sewage and wastewater pumping systems is the effective handling of large solids for low-flow high head applications. In order to meet the necessary pump output requirements, the ability to handle large solids is often sacrificed in the pump hydraulic design. Yeomans Chicago Corp. has solved this dilemma with the introduction of its new Model 412.53SV submersible solids-handling pump. The pump utilizes a single-vane impeller that is trimmable to meet the specific duty rating necessary for each application. The impeller will also pass full 3-inch spherical solids to meet the preferred specification requirements of today’s sewage pumping industry. The pump’s capacity range is 100 to 1,100 gpm and it produces discharge pressure up to 175 feet TDH. www.yccpump.com.
