Going Up In Smoke

Metal-Fab, Inc., has a new factorybuilt chimney designed to meet the UL standard 103 21000 requirements for wood, oil, gas and coal applications. The Temp/Guard factory built chimney features a solid-fill insulation material designed for NASA's space program.

This technology provides even distribution of flue gas temperatures throughout the chimney system while retaining a l-l/2' wall thickness. Uni form wrapping of this insulation reportedly prevents sags, settling and voids that create hot sPots in the chimney wall.

Power BreakThrough

AEG Power Tool Corp. has a new % " variable-speed, reversible hammer drill.

With a heavy duty motor, it delivers 4.2 amps of power to break through hard aggregates with a no-load speed of 0 to 1300 rpm and a rated load speed of 800 rpm. It provides 12,800 blows per minute.

The SBE l0RL is for small hole applications in concrete and masonry. Variable-speed makes it applicable for starting and setting screws in softer material. Weighing 4lbs., its capacities reach Vz" in concrete and 31" in steel. Maximum chuck capacity is %".

Radical Radlal Saw

A new radial miter attachment from Topper Manufacturing Co. clamps to a radial arm saw to make precise 45 degree miter cuts in wood. The wood is pressed against the all aluminum attachment, held in place by a cam holding device and then cut. The attachment can stay in place while the saw is used for other cuts.

New Lumber Protector

Du Pont Canada has introduced a new fabric to protect kiln-dried lumber in shipment or storage. Arbrene wrap material, which protects lumber from dirt and inclement weather, is reportedly tougher than conventional paper/scrim wraps.

Made of heavy-gauge woven polyethylene tapes coated on both sides, it is engineered to prevent the fabric from ripping as well as preventing the staples used in the application process from pulling through.

The fabric is opaque, black on the inside and white on the outside to reflect and minimize the infiltration of light rays which can cause heat build-up between the wrap and the lumber.

It is reportedly easy to handle and apply. It remains pliable to -40oF, repels moisture and retains its strength through wet weather. The white exterior permits mill identification printing. The fabric is available in rolls of prefolded wrap or in finished cover sizes.

Roof Decking System

Potlatch Corp.'s new insulated heavy-timber roof decking system, Therma-Joist, offers an insulation rating in excess of R-20.

It reportedly provides a long-span structural capability that requires up to 30qo less wood than comparable decking. The factory-fi nished product comes in a choice of 12 acrylic colors. The five part "inverted-T" unit combines the durability of a typical solid wood roofing system with the structural integrity of plywood diaphragm construction.

Electronic Protection

It features voltage surge protection and noise filtering capabilities. Outlets are designed to protect personal computers, video games, VCR s and other types of solid state electronic equipment which can be damaged by power surges and voltage spikes.
