HVAC&R and plumbing accessories manufacturer RectorSeal has added two new product lines and a company acquisition to its offering.
The two new products include Cover Guard lineset covers and AC Guard HVAC condenser protection cages. Both product lines will be covered by RectorSeal’s three-year limited warranty with no registration required.
Designed for residential and commercial HVAC installations of ductless and ducted systems, Cover Guard lineset covers provide adjustable support from two to four inches, with snap-on covers to accommodate multiple linesets and condensate drains.
According to RectorSeal, Cover Guard lineset covers do not release under pressure; instead, as the internal pressure exerted by the linesets and condensate line increases, the locking strength of the guard increases.
“When properly installed, Cover Guard lineset and condensate covers exceed many HVAC code requirements,” says the company. “Convenient pre-installed sliding zip-tie clips provide ease of mounting. Cover Guard lineset covers are constructed of durable material that is UV-protected, paintable, and protected with a factory-provided peel-off film.”
Steve Coon, inventor of Cover Guard lineset covers, will collaborate with the RectorSeal team to continue to design, manufacture, and distribute lineset covers for the HVAC industry. Ken Lyons, Cover Guard’s sales leader, will support the sale of lineset covers company-wide for RectorSeal.
Guard cages for unit protection
RectorSeal says its second product addition, the AC Guard cages, are built for long-term performance. Constructed of 16-gauge steel, powder coated and adjustable, they provide a physical and visual deterrent for residential and commercial condensing units.
“AC Guard cages are attractive, easy to install, and easy to remove for condensing unit service and maintenance,” says the company. “For larger units, two cages can be placed back-to-back. Expanded metal kits are available for installation to provide additional condensing unit protection.”
The cages adjust to a variety of sizes from 34”H x 30”W x 30”D to 59”H x 51”W x 51”D.
Falcon Stainless added to RectorSeal ranks
RectorSeal also acquired Falcon Stainless Inc, a California-based company providing full port corrugated stainless steel and flexible water and gas connectors for the plumbing and HVAC&R markets.
“Adding Falcon products to the RectorSeal HVAC and plumbing portfolio will further support the company’s position as a holistic solutions provider to the plumbing and HVAC markets,” says Jeff Underwood, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RectorSeal. “Our goal is to provide customers with outstanding service along with the highest quality and largest assortment of products.”
According to Falcon President and CEO Gray Pender, Falcon has shared a common goal to make the world’s best connectors for more than 20 years.
“With the transaction, we now have the opportunity to align our operations with a leading supplier to our key markets. I anticipate that Falcon’s unprecedented growth over the past two decades will now accelerate even more thanks to RectorSeal.”
