Smoke detectors have greatly improved residential life safety by quickly detecting and altering building occupants to the harmful effects of fire. Smoke and toxic gases are the leading killers. Smoke detectors are hard or permanently wired, battery operated, or a combination of hard wiring with a battery backup. Smoke detectors work primarily on two principles: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization detectors use a radioactive element that emits ions into the chamber. The positive and negative ions are measured on an electrically charged electrode. When smoke enters the chamber, the flow of ions to the electrode changes and an alarm is activated. Photoelectric detectors use two different methods to detect the smoke of a fire and can be spot or line detectors. The first is the light obscuration detector, which has a light beam aimed at a light sensor. When the smoke particles obscure or block the light beam, the light sensor notes the loss of light and activates the alarm. The light scattering detector operates by having a light beam aimed at the end of the chamber with a light sensor in an angled-off chamber.

Spring rewind grounding reels feature fast and convenient automatic spring rewind. A ratchet mechanism locks the reel when the cable is unwound and releases easily for rewinding. The built-in cable hoop guides the cable on and off the reel smoothly. An internal rotary device on the reel axle provides a sturdy connection for the cable.

Spring rewind hose reels are used in lubrication, air, water, air tools and washdown applications. The spring motor provides self-contained rewind power. A non-sparking ratchet assembly locks the reel when the desired length of hose has payed out. A pull on the hose unlocks the reel and spring motor retracts the hose. A declutching is provided to prevent damage from reverse winding. It consists of 4-way roller assembly. It also consists of hose stop, which is used to prevent damage to rollers & nozzles and to permit adjustment of free hose length.

Sprinklerheads are designed to throw water in a full circle, a half circle, or a quarter circle. There are two types: rotary sprinkler heads extend above the ground permanently, and pop-up heads are designed to be flush with the ground when off so one can mow over them.

Stainless Steel Reels are designed for wash down, chemical transfer, potable water, food ingredient transfer, fuel and fire protection applications. Stainless steel reels resist corrosion and help to maintain a germ-free environment. These reels are more durable than plastic and are easy to keep clean. Stainless steel reels are fabricated with round stainless steel wire. These stainless steel reels are polished for ultimate corrosion protection.

Static Grounding Reels are used as a proper method of storing cables. The standard designs come with 3/32″ diameter galvanized cable in lengths of 20-ft and 50-ft. The use of static cable reels is a long-standing method of providing excellent storage area for cables. Static grounding reels are used to prevent uncontrolled static discharge.
