TharShe Blows!
Vanco Machine Co. has a new all-fiber blowing and spraying machine. It is designed primarily to meet the demand of professional applicators requiring a low cost additional machine capable of handling a variety of insulating jobs.
The machine, which can be mounted on a small truck or trailer, is powered by a TJD 15 h.p., air-cooled, Wisconsin engine or optional electric drive for in-plant installation. Remote control of blowing by the hoseman makes one-man operation possible. It can convert to spray-on work by adding an auxiliary pump and nozzle.
NailBiter
A power tool accessory for removing duplex type nails from concrete forms is from Jansco. The Nabber can be powered by either an electric or pneumatic impact tool, and is said to cut nail removal time by 5090.
The product consists of a snap-on cylindrical extractor head, grooved to grip nail shanks and a drive rod within the tool's holding section with molded finger-grip recesses. A safety guard is part of the tool holding section. To pull nails, the operator slips the "V" grooved socket head overthe nail head, slides theguard over the extractor and presses the power to trigger.
SmallSpace Fireplace
The new Majestic energy circulator fireplace reportedly offers home builders an energy-efficient, economical fireplace system designed specifically for today's smaller, more affordable housing.
The engineering and design of the fireplace, which is listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, is said to cut building costs by saving space, time and materials. Requiring only a 19" clearance to combustible side walls, it is suitable for almost any floor plan, regardless of room size.
Another space-saving feature, the 16" hearth extension is 4" less than most units. A mantel clearance height of only 12" above the top grille is required on the fireplace, so fewer materials are required when finishing off the fireplace.
Twoon One Paneling
Shakertown is offering a new double course Colonial II shingle panel with two 7 in. shingle courses electronically bonded to a plywood back forming a rigid 8 ft. panel.
Panels are self aligning to elimi- nate measuring and chalklining after the first course is up. This reportedly can reduce application time by as much as three fourths.
Every panel is constructed from clear, No. I grade Western red cedar.
AStabilizing Effect
Coleman Safety Systems, Inc., is introducing a ladder stabilizer kit.
The kit comes complete with two stabilizer arms, all necessary fasteners for installation on various types of step and extension ladders and instructions for installation and operation.
One year workmanship and parts warranties are offered. Each kit carton is fully illustrated for self-serve sales. Four kits are packed in a master carton which can be used as a display unit.
ShutterShow
Ronthor Plastics is introducing a new merchandising system for exterior shutters, offering them as a retail package.
A free-standing, permanent floor display for the shutters is made of wire and metal tubing with a set of actual shutters shown in use against a full color lithographed window setting. The display is mounted on adjustable height poles to suit different size retail environments.
Displaying 45 pairs of shutters in various sizes, the display folds flat for shipping.
Fenced In
A new fencing product from Furman Lumber, Inc. is said to be the first economical, easy-to-install western red cedar accent fence available for do-it-yourselfers.
The fence, which has a lattice top, can be used to mark property lines or screen a backyard, swimming pool, patio or other area for privacy. Each section is 7' long and 5'4' ' high, made of high quality, #l-grade western red cedar, already assembled and ready to be nailed to posts.
