This is Issue 3 of our newsletters and we're especially pleased to announce Revit BIM drawing files for your use along with the additional updates shown at the content block at the right.

Users can select the files directly in Autodesk Revit with a one time download of the Bell and Gossett Content Module at http://www.cadworks.net/bellgossett and picking the appropriate models from the content library.  Additional product BIM drawings will be added as they are developed. Please make sure that your "cad guy" is made aware of this.

PP-R Added to Military Guide Specifications:

Aquatherm announced the inclusion of PP-R in the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications.  This inclusion came as part of the US government's effort to find longer lasting and more environmentally friendly building materials.

The Unified Facilities Guide Spefications are the result of joint efforts from NASA, ANVFAC, AFCESA, and USACE to provide a cohesive building specification for all military facilities.  The UFGS is used by all participating organizations.

Coil hook up fittings like Nexus Valve offers, are a common sense way to optimize coil valving and balancing arrangments for hot water, chilled water, and heat pump coil applications, but let's face it... having your jobsite insulating contractor custom insulate these fittings is a time consuming and relatively expensive operation.  We'd encourage an alternative... NO SWEAT Reusable Valve Wraps.  Some of the benefits include:

• faster installation, quick access, and is reusable for the owner
• matches ASJ and PVC jackets
• Non combustible and impermeable to water
• Indoor or outdoor, hot water, chilled water, potable water applications
• easy to size and apply
