(March 27, 2014)Pump Productshas added Armstrong's new Maintenance-Free S&H Circulators and Seal Bearing Assemblies to it's 2014 inventory as part of an ongoing effort to meet the demands of customers in the building maintenance and contracting markets. The new Maintenance-Free (MF) versions of Armstrong's popular S&H Circulator lines and Seal Bearing Assembly (SBA) contain permanently lubricated bearings that require no oiling or greasing. Bottom line savings for both markets are among the benefits offered by the new design.
"This new Maintenance-free version of Armstrong's popular S&H lines eliminates the sleeve bearing which requires periodic oiling and replaces it with a sealed bearing assembly requiring no lubrication, " says Product Expert Fred Hettinger. "It's a small design improvement that will save building owners a bundle in maintenance and repair costs and substantially extend pump life for those who do little or no maintenance."
In addition to eliminating the costs associated with periodic oiling and system downtime, the new Armstrong Maintenance-free SBAs are compatible with many competing circulator models and can be retrofitted to existing systems. For contractor's, the versatile new SBAs can reduce inventory costs and optimize service opportunities.
"Along with Bell & Gossett, Armstrong makes some of our most popular circulator lines," says Fred Hettinger. "They're heavily used in heating and cooling, and domestic water systems. Once the long-term benefits associated with the new Maintenance-Free S&H Circulators are better-known, the line will likely become the standard against which other models are measured."
Pump Products provides contractors, facilities managers, mechanical companies and other large-end users such as universities, shopping malls and small commercial buildings with products that eliminate downtime and decrease maintenance costs. As a Master Armstrong Distributor, Pump Products carries an extensive inventory of the new Maintenance-free S&H Circulators and SBAs and other Armstrong pumps and repair parts.
