New Energy-Saving, Sweat-Connection Models Added to Bronze Fox Line of CirculatorsMorton Grove, IL -- August 7, 1998 ITT Bell & Gossett has added new energy-saving, sweat connection models to its popular line of Bronze Fox Wet Rotor circulators, a series that delivers up to 80 percent more starting power than competing pumps. The three new Bronze Fox 1/2" sweat connection models now provide engineers with a convenient option to union and flange body connection Bronze Fox units. The new sweat connection models, NBF-8S/LW, NBF-10S/LW and NBF-18S, have been specially designed to permit reliable connections to system copper piping. Meanwhile, the models NBF-8S/LW, NBF-10S/LW, along with models NBF-9U/LW (union body), NBF-12U/LW (union body) and NBF-12F/LW (flange body) comprise a new, energy-efficient, low-watt Bronze Fox family of circulators. Using motors that require 55 watts or less, the new units consume less power, resulting in electricity cost savings of up to 50 percent over similar competing pumps. All Bronze Fox circulators have 100 percent lead-free construction and are ideal for residential or light commercial hot water recirculation and other potable water applications. In addition to high starting torque, the units deliver more capacity than competing brands. The circulators include B&G's new DuraglideTM bearing system which insures dependable start-ups year after year. The Duraglide system consists of lime and calcium lock-up resistance ceramic shafts and double-sintered carbon bearings. Wide clearances between the shaft and bearings make the Bronze Fox units very tolerant of dirt and fine sediment particulate. Additionally, a self-cleaning particle shield prevents contaminants from entering the shaft and bearings during the initial system fill. Bronze Fox circulators also feature a stainless steel rotor which isolates the stator from system fluid without any chance of leakage. The rotor has an integral bearing holder which helps to maintain precision shaft and bearing alignment. Other Bronze Fox features include:
