WHAT’S NEW The NewU1000-WM (Wall Mount) is a significant addition to the Micronics ULTRAFLO range of Clamp-on, Heat/Energy and Flowmeters U1000 Heat/Energy and Flow meters are now available in the original pipe-mounted or new wall-mounted, display & keyboard format with an extended pipe range! The U1000MKII is a “Best Value” Clamp-on, Ultrasonic heat meter alternative to traditional inline energy meters, for energy management and billing applications in domestic and commercial, district or shared heating or cooling systems, which offers significant installation cost and dry maintenance benefits over traditional in-line products. And the new U1000 Wall Mount version offers the alternative of Clamp-on pipe-mounted flow and temperature sensors but with a wall or control panel, display and keyboard plus an extended range to cover larger pipe size applications. Micronics has built on its success with the ULTRAFLO U1000 heat/ energy & flow meter range to develop a WM (Wall Mount) version, which extends the pipe size to cover applications from 25mm – 225mm (8”) OD pipe and the temperature range to 135°C. And whilst the U1000MKII-WM can still be used as a stand-alone product, in the all- important area of connectivity the new product supports optional Mbus or Modbus RTU slave and RS485 serial communications for aM&T or BEMs systems. www.micronicsflowmeters.com Hoval UltraGas ® 2 The new benchmark for boilers Profitable High Efficiency Compact The new UltraGas® 2 stands for maximum e ciency and maximum output in the smallest of spaces.

Accessed via the Viega Tool Services app, users can also select the pressing mode, choosing between the default Viega AutoCycle and Viega SmartCycle, which presses the connection in two stages to allow inspection prior to completing the pressing. The Pressgun 6 Plus press jaw holder can also be endlessly rotated 360°, while the Picco 6 Plus has a rotating head of up to 180°. The compact dimensions of both make them an ideal tool for confined and awkward spaces. The battery life has been upgraded to last longer, with the Pressgun 6 plus offering 35%more press strokes compared to previous generations. Each pressing operation takes around four seconds to complete, which also saves installation time. With a pressing force of 32 kN, the Pressgun 6 Plus is suitable for metal press connection systems with a dimension of 12mm to 108mm, for Megapress steel pipe connections of 3/8 to 4 inches with the Pressgun Press Booster, and for multilayer pipe systems of 12mm to 63mm. www.viega.co.uk
