Output device
Hydraulic separator
The Hydraulic Separator combines multiple components to balance flow between primary and secondary piping, protects systems from debris, and eliminates accumulated trapped air. Its patent-pending design includes a 12,000 gauss magnet, an air separator, a dual-scale temperature/pressure gauge, mounting brackets, and hardware. Available in Press, SWT, FIP, and MIP G-union connections, in sizes 1" to 1 1/2".

Water usage optimizer and filtration system
The Marley WaterGard helps reduce wastewater and overall water usage on packaged evaporative cooling products by using membrane technology to pre-condition cooling tower water and limit salt (i.e. chlorides, calcium carbonate) introduction into the tower. The salt concentration of makeup (supply) water typically controls how much water needs to be blown down, or drained from the system, to limit corrosion and scale tendencies of the cooling water. Reducing this concentration with WaterGard allows safe cooling tower system operation at higher cycles of concentration (less blowdown). Available in North American markets and offered in a variety of sizes based on the capacity of the cooling towers, features include an integral pump, bypass function and an optional carbon system for chlorine filtration.

Narrow wall hydrant
The P-623 narrow wall hydrant is a single temperature valve while the P-628 features both hot and cold inlets. With a 3-1/8" depth, these hydrants are designed to fit inside a standard 4" wall and install flush with the outside wall. Both valves offer a variety of installation options, come with a lockable stainless steel box, and have integral shutoffs for simple future maintenance. The PRIER P-623 and P-628 hydrants are built for interior walls and non-freezing climate applications. They are great for healthcare facilities, schools, stadiums and other large recreational areas, the company says.
