Featured PRODUCTS Flomatic's New Check Valve Minimizes Flow Losses and Hydraulic Shocks Flomatic Corp. introduces a new 1-inch and 1¼-inch Model 80DI VFD, special patented submersible pump check valve for use with variable-frequency drive control submersible pumps. Standard check valves will "c hatter" and be noisy when a VFD goes to low flow, causing premature wear and eventual failure. This unique valve is designed to minimize flow losses and hydraulic shocks in the pumping sys- tem. It features a standard epoxy coat- ing (NSF approved powder) ductile iron body t o support deep set pumps. An ex- clusive stainless steel guided poppet system (plastic is shown) ensures the valve automatically adjusts noiselessly from high to very low flow rates. www.flomatic.com Little Beaver Introduces Heavy- Duty Geotechnical Drill Rig Little Beaver, a manufacturer of safe and productive drilling equipment, introduces the new Lone Star LST1 heavy-duty geotechnical drill rig. The LST1G+HD drills to 100 feet with an optional 4.25-inch hollow stem auger. The new model offers enhanced power and capabilities when compared to Little Beaver's smaller LST1G+ geotechnical drill. Little Beaver added a planetary reduc- tion gearbox for more torque and a reduction mechanism for increased push/pull-back force over its standard geotechnical drill rig. It gives engi- neers and soil technicians an efficient, robust, and dependable drill for stan- dard penetration tests and sampling soils for academic testing. www.littlebeaver.com waterwelljournal.com 68 October 2016 WWJ 101 Pipe & Casing Produces State-of-the-Art Pump Column Fabrication 101 Pipe & Casing, a pump column manufacturer in the United States, has complete machining and threading capabilities managed by skilled and experienced technicians dedicated to fabricating the highest quality pump column and water works products available anywhere in the industry.
