See what new products IDEAL is adding to its innovative product family in 2010
The new Canadian WireTwist™ line consists of three separately sized connectors: Orange (C3), Yellow (C4) and Red (C6), allowing contractors to tailor connector size and capabilities to the specific wire combination and wiring situation being performed.
Designed with a twist on feel Canadian contractors desire, the new Canadian WireTwist™ has been CSA Certified & UL Listed for solid & stranded wire usage, covering a range from 18 through 10 AWG (determinant upon size). The superior “Stayset” spring technology of the Canadian WireTwist™ (CWT) delivers users the benefits of fast wire makeup, a wide range of wire combinations, and reliability for which IDEAL is known.
The IDEAL HeatSeeker™ is loaded with superior features to provide real-time thermal analysis for electrical safety, energy efficiency, building maintenance, and preventive maintenance. Here's what makes HeatSeeker so useful: The overlaying of a thermal image on top of a digital image in various % blends for clarity, dual cursors that instantly locate the hottest and coldest temperature points on a live screen for on-the-job assessment, and voice annotation for easier file retrieval when using the report generating software. Its easy set-up, operations, performance and accuracy make it the tool to have for monitoring and identifying potential problems.
Introducing the new TKO™carbide tipped hole cutters from IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. Carbide Razor cutters offer the most efficient and clean cutter replacement for traditional knockouts, by making smooth holes in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost. Specifically designed to cut sheet metal, Carbide Razor cutters will even cut stainless steel with fine grained, carbide tips. The innovative design includes the exclusive SmoothStart™ replaceable pilot drill, which guides the cutter to the surface, avoiding cutter damage and providing smoother holes. An integral overdrill flange prevents cutter penetration beyond the sheet metal. When it comes to quality, performance and durability, IDEAL is the professional's choice for carbide tipped hole cutters.
BUL-Z-EYE™ self-feed bits include a number of superior features and benefits that combine to deliver the most outstanding performance of any self-feed bit product available today. The new design features twin cutting edges and precision ground teeth with up to 50% wider cutting surface. These features deliver improved cutting speeds, better balance and control, and clean more accurate holes then the leading brand in the market. BULZ-EYE™ self-feed bits are manufactured with the best materials and machinery available to ensure quality, performance, and consistency. The bits are also black oxide coated, heat treated and hardened for added durability. When it comes to quality, performance and durability, IDEAL is the professional's choice for self-feed bits.
The SIGNALTEK™-FO is the first and only tester to qualify both copper and fiber-optic cabling to IEEE 802.3 standards. All in one unit that's less than the price of an optical test set.
With its compact design and soft over-molded sides, the SIGNALTEK-FO fits comfortably in your hands. The easy-to-navigate user interface enables multimedia Gigabit qualification with multimode and single mode capability. You can also perform Bit Error Rate testing and decibel (dB) loss measurements of optical links. Plus, storing and printing qualification reports for copper and fiber jobs are simple using internal memory or USB "thumb-drives."
Adopting the latest generation of technology, IDEAL's innovation brings the best performance to this new class of affordable testers.
The IDEAL PowerPlug™ is the first disconnect that fully meets both the new Canadian Electrical Code 30-308(4) and new National Electrical Code 410.310(G) for non-residential fluorescent fixtures with ballasts. Many existing disconnects are rated for stranded wire only and will not meet the installation requirements for solid ballast wire. It also offers innovative push-in technology on solid and stranded wire during installation. This push-in feature does not require tools and enables quick, no-twist connections, resulting in labor cost benefits. In addition, the simple two-piece device passes UL 1977 finger probe requirements, allowing ballast replacement while minimizing the risk of shock. PowerPlug - the disconnect that is truly one of a kind.
The line of WireMan™ Pliers gives professional results. These tools provide powerful cutting capabilities and are true workhorses on the job. Plus, they're made with our new Smart-Grip™ handles that feature a low-profile, textured grip for comfort and control. WireMan Pliers are rugged yet precise, combining exceptional durability and easy cutting for a lifetime of quality use.
When you're facing a day of tough cable pulls, depend on a lube that knows how to get the job done. Velocity™ Cable Pulling Lubricant combines superior cling with maximum friction reduction, plus is compatible with all popular cable types. Velocity does not leave behind a glue-type residue, so the cables will never get stuck to the conduit. And the special formula does not leave an unpleasant aroma.
