Hex drivers for roofing applications
|
Malco Products has expanded its line of reversible magnetic hex drivers with the C-RHEX® Building Construction Series. The hex drivers feature deeper sockets for installing fasteners with higher head heights such as concrete anchors and other common fasteners for roofing, siding and gutter applications. The C-RHEX Building Construction Series models are available in six lengths: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches. Reversible 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch hex sockets allow for quick changes between sizes, and the hex drivers are said to work effectively with painted fasteners because specialized polish in the internal sockets prevents fastener sticking. Made from S2 hardened steel for long life and durability, the hex drivers also feature a protected heavy-duty magnet that is easy to clean and doesn’t contact the screw so the fasteners spin neatly.
Coating system restores metal roof systems
|
Inland Coatings has made available its spray-grade Pro Metal Series, a complete spray-applied restoration system for metal roof systems. The single-pass system pairs RC 2250SG Premium Rubber Seam Compound (Spray Grade) with RC 2016 One Pass Rubber Roof Coating, which reportedly can be applied by one or two people instead of four or more. The seam compound is said to be ideal for sealing curbs, penetrations and fasteners and can be applied using the same spray rig as other aspects of the project. RC 2250SG is available in 1-gallon cans, 5-gallon buckets and a 55-gallon drum. The roof coating has a base coat and top coat built in and is formulated with corrosion inhibitor, mildewcide, primer and ultraviolet protectant.
Underlayment is fire-resistant
|
Owens Corning has introduced Titanium® FR High Temp and Fire Resistant Self-Adhered Underlayment designed to provide Class A fire resistance for roof assemblies installed in wildland urban interface areas. Titanium FR underlayment features technology said to mitigate the risk of fire spread to a roof deck under metal, tile or asphalt roof coverings. Titanium FR High Temp and Fire Resistant Self-Adhered Underlayment reportedly achieves Class A fire resistance for roof assemblies that include solar panels even if the panels are Class C fire-rated. The underlayment also features Sure-Foot® technology to support walkability in wet and dry conditions and a specially engineered self-adhesive layer to allow repositioning during installation.
Build custom storage solutions
|
DEWALT® has added an adaptor, deep compact toolbox and three-drawer toolbox to its TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 storage portfolio. The double-sided TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 Adaptor (DWST08017) allows users to build custom storage solutions by connecting a TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 storage solution to additional products, including DEWALT TSTAK™ modules and TOUGHCASE® sets. Designed for durability in tough environments, the TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 Deep Compact Toolbox (DWST08035) reportedly is water-resistant and has a volume capacity of up to 5.3 gallons and a load capacity of up to 77 pounds. A lidded organizer and four removable dividers create customized storage space for tools and accessories and a customizable content plate can be labeled for quick identification of the toolbox’s contents. The TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 3-Drawer Toolbox (DWST08330) has three shallow drawers with a load capacity of up to 43.5 pounds total or 14.5 pounds per drawer to store and transport small tools and accessories. The toolbox is said to operate smoothly with ball-bearing metal slides, a quick-latching mechanism for secure closure of each drawer and auto-connect side latches to attach additional storage units.
Work boot is slip-resistant
|
Georgia Boot has added the Georgia Boot TBD alloy toe waterproof work boot to its Georgia Boot Tough Beyond Dispute Collection. Made with full-grain, high-abrasion Tec-Tuff leather, the 6-inch work boot reportedly is lightweight and flexible. The Georgia Boot TBD alloy toe waterproof work boot features a high-performance mesh lining, padded tongue and collar, and Stretch Gusset technology on the inside, as well as a durable fiberglass shank and a heat-, chemical- and slip-resistant dual-density EVA and Carbo-Tec Rubber outsole. A removable CC8 Comfort Core Next Gen insole with memory foam and the Georgia Waterproof system help provide all-day comfort, and an ergo-fit safety toe provides lightweight toe protection.
Insulation without flame-retardant chemicals
|
GAF has made available EnergyGuard™ Non-Halogenated Polyiso roof insulation. The insulation reportedly maintains the same R-value at a mean temperature of 40 F and 75 F when tested according to ASTM C1289. EnergyGuard NH Polyiso roof insulation is an energy-efficient solution free from potentially hazardous flame-retardant chemicals. Made from lightweight material, the insulation is said to be easy to handle and install on a job site. EnergyGuard NH Polyiso roof insulation currently is offered in a full range of products with a variety of facers and sizes, including flat and tapered, as well as cover boards.
Roof drain eliminates need for field fabrication
|
OMG® Roofing Products has introduced its ReadySump™ RetroDrain® as an extension to the OlyFlow lineup of retrofit roof drains. OMG ReadySump RetroDrain combines a prefabricated drain sump and integrated OMG retrofit drain. The drain is designed to install quickly and eliminate the multistep process of field fabricating a drain sump. Featuring a 9 3/4-inch drain stem and U-Flow Mechanical Seal, OMG ReadySump RetroDrain is flashed at the highest point of the sump and not around the drain. The drain is said to improve rooftop flow performance with OMG’s Vortex Breaker Technology and a heavy-duty cast aluminum strainer dome. OMG ReadySump RetroDrain is available with a diameter of 3, 4, 5 or 6 inches.
Fall-protection anchor has quick release button
|
Werner has added the Werner R3 Concrete Anchor to its fall protection portfolio. The anchor is designed to provide a strong connection point for users working on concrete structures. Made with a rigid tri-wedge design and hard carbon coating, the Werner R3 Concrete Anchor has an omnidirectional D-ring design that allows a user to swivel and hinges in any direction to mitigate connector rollout. The OSHA-compliant anchor reportedly enables secure one-hand operation and features a quick-release button for removal.
