On-demand hot water button
With Noritz’s NRCR Residential Condensing Tankless Water Heater, introduced in 2019, hot-water distribution throughout the home is virtually instantaneous, providing hot water on demand using its built-in recirculation pump. More recently, Noritz has taken its innovative NRCR one step further with the new Wireless On-Demand Push Button Kit. The kit, sold separately as an add-on accessory, brings the convenience of readily accessible hot water with a simple touch of a button, converting the NRCR to a push-button operation. The kit includes a wireless receiver, two wireless transmitters to start and stop the on-demand recirculation mode, batteries, a wire connector, and the additional accessories needed to complete the installation.

Safety glasses
Brass Knuckle has created eyewear that can handle just about anything work throws at it, the new Midnight (BKDST-1050AFP) Safety Glasses. The trifecta of face-tight gasket, SideShield and wraparound protection makes work comfortable for the wearer, and life miserable for dust and fog. The lenses feature BK-Anti-FOG+, the world’s best anti-fog protection, to keep vision clear in high-moisture, high-heat conditions. Each pair features a removable gasket made of soft-but-tough EVA foam, forming a dust filter that completely fills the gap between the glasses and the face, to seal in eyes and keep dust out. When opened to wear, exclusive SideShield earpieces meet extended lenses at a tight, precision-cut seam for true wraparound protection. It’s the ultimate weapon against dust ingress.
