Plumbing Supply and More Expands Hydronic Heating Inventory and Buying Guidance for Contractors and Homeowners

Caln Township, Pennsylvania - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Hydronic heating is drawing renewed attention from contractors and homeowners seeking steadier indoor comfort, and Plumbing Supply and More hydronic heating offerings now pair a deep catalog of components with technical selection guidance. Unlike forced-air systems, hydronic heating warms spaces using circulated hot water rather than blown air, which delivers more consistent room temperatures with less noise and no ductwork moving dust through a home.
Hydronic systems work through baseboard units, cast iron radiators or radiant floors, and they pair with gas, oil, electric or wood-fired boilers. Because water carries far more heat than air, these systems can deliver the same capacity with smaller, quieter equipment. The tradeoff is complexity. A hydronic loop contains many components that must be sized to work together, so selecting the correct part matters as much as the installation itself.

To help both trade professionals and do-it-yourself homeowners navigate that complexity, Plumbing Supply and More carries more than 440 products in its hydronic heating category. The selection spans boilers, circulator pumps and circulator parts, expansion tanks, aquastats, flow control valves, hydronic baseboards, kick space heaters, magnetic separators, oil nozzles, oil burner products, radiant heat controls, and steam vents and regulators. Brands carried include Taco, Honeywell, Zilmet, Watts, Hydrolevel, McDonnell & Miller, Weil-McLain and R.W. Beckett.
The company structures its category page as a reference as well as a catalog, with how-to content explaining how each component works, worked sizing examples and common selection mistakes. General industry practice holds that every part supports one of five jobs in the loop: generating heat, circulating water, controlling temperature and water level, managing pressure and trapped air, and delivering heat to the living space.
Many of those parts size off one another. A boiler's BTU output and water content drive circulator and expansion tank sizing, so adding a zone or upsizing a boiler means revisiting both. Circulator sizing relies on flow rate and head loss checked against a pump's published curve, while an expansion tank's precharge should match the system's cold fill pressure to avoid waterlogging and a weeping relief valve.
"Sourcing hydronic heating parts is often where a project succeeds or stalls," said a spokesperson for Plumbing Supply and More. "Customers who understand how components size off each other make better decisions, so the goal is to pair inventory with plain guidance on things like aquastats, low water cutoffs, magnetic separators and oil nozzle ratings."
The spokesperson added that attention to detail protects equipment. "Magnetite sludge builds up in closed loops and is especially hard on modulating condensing boilers, and a mismatched oil nozzle can cause soot or inefficient combustion. Matching the right boiler parts, circulator pumps and expansion tanks to a system is the practical work behind a quiet, efficient install."


Plumbing Supply and More is a family-owned supply house with 75 years in operation, offering wholesale pricing to both trade professionals and homeowners along with a 30-day return policy.

Built Right Sites Receives Lead Generation Innovation Award from LeadLane

October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Built Right Sites has been recognized by digital marketing and lead generation company LeadLane with its Lead Generation Innovation Award, acknowledging the website development company's approach to integrating customer acquisition tools directly into business websites. The award, presented during the week of October 12, 2026, recognizes developments in website functionality that help local businesses connect with prospective customers and manage incoming inquiries more effectively.
The recognition follows LeadLane's integration of Built Right Sites' website-based lead generation applications into its digital marketing operations. The collaboration brings together website development, interactive customer tools, and lead management capabilities, creating opportunities for businesses to manage inquiries generated through their online presence.

Built Right Sites develops websites for local businesses, including contractors, home service providers, printing companies, sign businesses, and other service-oriented organizations. Its approach emphasizes combining traditional website design with interactive applications intended to help visitors obtain information, request estimates, and initiate contact with businesses.
The company's website tools include instant estimate calculators, appointment and booking request features, service-area ZIP code checkers, and customizable inquiry forms. These applications are designed to address common obstacles in the customer inquiry process by making it easier for prospective customers to provide relevant project information before contacting a business.
LeadLane, which specializes in digital marketing and customer acquisition for local businesses, recognized Built Right Sites for incorporating these capabilities into a broader website development model. Rather than treating websites exclusively as informational resources, the company's approach emphasizes the role of online tools in connecting visitor activity with measurable business inquiries.
The integration also represents a development in LeadLane's own marketing infrastructure. By incorporating Built Right Sites' lead generation applications into its existing workflows, LeadLane can combine website interactions with its established approach to search engine optimization, advertising, call tracking, and lead management.
One component of the integration involves capturing information submitted through interactive website features. When prospective customers request estimates, complete service inquiries, or submit booking requests, the resulting information can be organized for business owners to review and use in their follow-up processes.
This approach addresses a challenge for businesses that receive inquiries through multiple channels. Customer requests may originate from website forms, phone calls, advertising campaigns, or other digital interactions. Bringing these activities into a more organized workflow can help businesses distinguish between general website visits and inquiries that require direct attention.
The recognition also highlights the increasing role of specialized website applications in industries where customers often need project-specific information before deciding whether to contact a service provider. For contractors, this may involve obtaining a preliminary project estimate. For printing and signage companies, inquiries frequently require details about dimensions, quantities, materials, and installation requirements.
Built Right Sites has developed its website offerings around these differences, allowing businesses to incorporate features that correspond to their industries and customer inquiry processes. The applications are intended to supplement conventional website functions such as service descriptions, contact information, and location-specific pages.
Another element of the company's development approach involves maintaining visibility into the inquiries generated through a website. Its lead management functionality enables business owners to review incoming requests, track follow-up activity, and record the outcomes of potential projects. These capabilities provide information that can be used to evaluate how website interactions contribute to business operations.
For LeadLane, the integration creates an additional connection between website development and ongoing marketing management. Information collected through customer-facing tools can complement advertising and organic search initiatives, providing more context about the types of services prospective customers are requesting.
The announcement also reflects changes in how local businesses evaluate their websites. While design, mobile accessibility, and search visibility remain important considerations, businesses increasingly have access to tools that support customer communication and the management of incoming opportunities.
Built Right Sites' approach combines these functions within websites developed for specific businesses, rather than relying entirely on separate applications for every customer interaction. The company also provides website ownership options and customizable development services for businesses with different operational requirements.
The award from LeadLane recognizes the relationship between these technical developments and the practical requirements of local business marketing. It also marks a milestone in the companies' efforts to connect website functionality with lead generation processes that can be tracked and managed.
Following the recognition, Built Right Sites plans to continue developing its website applications and integration capabilities, with an emphasis on tools that support customer inquiries, business communication, and lead management across different service industries.
The collaboration provides a framework for further coordination between website development and digital marketing operations. As Built Right Sites continues to refine its interactive applications, the integration with LeadLane demonstrates how website-based tools can become part of a more comprehensive approach to managing customer acquisition.


The Lead Generation Innovation Award recognizes Built Right Sites' work in developing these capabilities and their application within LeadLane's marketing workflows. The announcement marks a development for both companies as they continue exploring how integrated website technology can support local businesses in managing customer inquiries and evaluating their marketing activities.

Nova Warranty Expands Maserati Extended Warranty Coverage to Include Latest Models

WILMINGTON, DE - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Nova Warranty has expanded its vehicle service program offerings for Maserati owners, extending coverage options to newer models including the Grecale, MC20, and Levante Trofeo. The expansion addresses a growing need among luxury vehicle owners seeking protection once the manufacturer's original coverage period concludes.
Every new Maserati includes a four-year or 50,000-mile New Car Limited Warranty that covers bumper-to-bumper, powertrain, and corrosion concerns. Once that period ends, owners of high-performance vehicles can face significant repair costs for components such as clutch systems, transmissions, and engines. Nova Warranty's Maserati extended warranty program is designed to continue protection beyond the factory term, covering mechanical breakdowns and technical failures on eligible models.
The company offers two primary protection packages. The Nova Superior package provides coverage against a broad range of mechanical breakdowns and technical failures, while the Nova Powertrain package covers essential components at a more accessible price point. Both plans include 24-hour roadside assistance, towing, trip interruption benefits, and handling of associated paperwork through an ASE-certified center.
Coverage now applies across the Maserati lineup, including the Ghibli, Quattroporte, Grecale, MC20, GranTurismo, Levante, and Levante Trofeo. The plans address common concerns reported by Maserati owners, such as clutch movement issues on the MC20, transmission difficulties on the Levante, and engine performance on the Modena when regular servicing has been delayed.
"Luxury and exotic vehicles require coverage that reflects their complexity and repair costs," said a spokesperson for Nova Warranty. "The expansion of coverage to the newest Maserati models means owners of these vehicles can access extended auto protection plans suited to the specific components most likely to require attention after the factory term ends."
Nova Warranty specializes in vehicle service programs for luxury cars, exotic automobiles, daily drivers, and supercars. The company notes that its coverage addresses components ranging from the engine, transmission, and drive axle to electrical systems, cooling, brakes, turbochargers, suspension, steering, and air conditioning. Additional benefits include rental car service, locksmith service, dead battery assistance, and out-of-gas service.
"Maserati owners often come to us after reading an independent Nova Warranty review and wanting to understand how post-factory coverage works," the spokesperson added. "The goal is transparency, with clear plan terms and no hidden fees, so owners understand exactly what each program covers before making a decision."
Nova Warranty distinguishes its offerings as vehicle service programs rather than manufacturer warranties. A vehicle service program is an agreement between the customer and the program provider that defines covered and non-covered repairs. Terms such as "extended warranty" and "vehicle service contract" are used for descriptive purposes.


Founded as a provider of extended auto warranty services, Nova Warranty focuses on comprehensive coverage for a wide range of manufacturers, with particular expertise in luxury and exotic vehicles. The company supports dozens of automotive brands and provides free quotes, daily customer service, and coverage designed to protect vehicle owners from unexpected repair expenses after the manufacturer's warranty expires. Nova Warranty operates as a vehicle service program administrator serving owners across the United States.

RTZEN Addresses Toilet Paper Holder Placement in Accessible Bathroom Renovations

Red Hill Manor, Delaware - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
A September 30, 2026, U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study of 1,619 homeowners found that 71 percent of surveyed renovating homeowners address special needs in their bathroom projects, with grab bars ranking among the leading modifications for those planning to age in place. RTZEN, a family-owned wrought iron décor brand operating since 1997, is drawing attention to a detail that such renovations often overlook: the placement of the toilet paper holder.
The Houzz research noted that among homeowners addressing special needs, 55 percent expect those needs to arise five or more years in the future, and 63 percent of those renovating for aging in place choose grab bars. These figures reflect different survey subgroups and do not share the same denominator. While the study measured broad renovation priorities, it did not evaluate accessory positioning. RTZEN notes that a bathroom with a comfort-height toilet, grab bars, and an accessible shower can still feature a poorly positioned paper holder that requires uncomfortable reaching or interferes with other fixtures. This interpretation reflects RTZEN's product-category perspective rather than a finding of the study.

To help homeowners weigh mounting location, seated reach, roll clearance, and fixture interference, RTZEN has published the RTZEN Toilet Paper Holders Guide. The company notes that a holder which appears correctly positioned may still prove difficult to reach from a seated position, which is why placement deserves attention alongside larger fixtures during the planning stage.
Formal placement guidance exists for those who seek it. Under the U.S. Access Board ADA Standards Section 604.7, the dispenser centerline must sit 7 to 9 inches in front of the toilet's leading edge, the paper outlet must fall between 15 and 48 inches above the finished floor, and dispensers must not be mounted behind grab bars and must permit continuous paper flow. For general residential settings, the National Kitchen and Bath Association recommends a holder height of 26 inches from the finished floor, raised to 28 inches for comfort-height toilets and lowered to between 20 and 22 inches in bathrooms used primarily by young children. The forward distance from the toilet bowl generally falls between 8 and 12 inches.
"A bathroom can meet every accessibility standard for the toilet and shower and still leave the smallest daily detail in the wrong place," said Rami Abramson, Design Standards Reviewer at RTZEN. "Homeowners should plan the paper dispenser and grab bar locations together, because treating them as unrelated accessories often leads to awkward reaching once the renovation is complete."
These considerations informed a second resource from the company. The RTZEN Toilet Paper Holder Placement Guide details forward distance from the bowl, side selection based on door swing and vanity clearance, and height adjustments for different household needs. Abramson noted that the choice between fixed and freestanding installation, the ease of changing rolls, and unobstructed dispensing each affect everyday convenience in ways that are easy to overlook before a renovation is underway.
Abramson added that construction and finish carry long-term weight in humid environments. "A holder is handled every day for years, so the material, the anchoring, and the finish determine whether it stays stable and looks right over time. These guides exist so homeowners can think through those choices before marking a single hole." The company addresses those installation factors, including wall anchors, bracket stability, mounting surfaces, and moisture-resistant finishes, in the RTZEN Wall-Mounted Toilet Paper Holder Guide.


RTZEN, operated by Iron-Craft and established in 1997, specializes in handcrafted wrought iron products for home and office use. Its range includes hooks, hangers, curtain holdbacks, planter hooks, paper towel holders, and bathroom accessories such as wall-mounted and shelf-integrated toilet paper holders. The company produces hand-forged pieces finished with dual-layer rust protection and backs qualifying products with a Lifetime Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Encore Data Products Expands Lineup with QOMO Classroom Response Systems for Interactive Learning

LAFAYETTE, CO - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Encore Data Products has expanded its lineup of audience response technology for schools and businesses with the addition of QOMO classroom response systems designed to support interactive instruction and real-time assessment.
The expanded offering centers on two devices that allow educators and presenters to gather instant feedback from participants during lessons, meetings, and events. The QOMO QClick QRF300 Audience Response System provides a straightforward option for classrooms seeking to introduce response technology. Both systems are now available through Encore Data Products as part of its audience response category, giving institutions access to tools that fit a variety of instructional and presentation settings.

Response technology has become increasingly common in education as instructors look for ways to measure comprehension during a lesson rather than only through later testing. These systems let students respond to questions in the moment, giving teachers immediate insight into which concepts require further review. The approach supports participation across a range of grade levels and subject areas, and it has drawn attention from institutions seeking alternatives to traditional assessment methods.
A representative at Encore Data Products, said the addition reflects ongoing demand from educators for tools that keep students engaged. “Teachers continue to tell us they want technology that fits naturally into the flow of a lesson,” the representative said. “Audience response systems give instructors a clear picture of how a class is following along, and that information helps them adjust their teaching on the spot.”
For environments that require broader functionality, the QOMO QClick QRF500 Audience Response System offers additional capabilities beyond the entry-level option. The two devices address different needs, allowing schools and organizations to select a configuration that matches the size of a group and the scope of a session.
The systems are also applicable beyond the classroom. Businesses, libraries, and organizations that host presentations and training sessions can use the technology to collect responses from attendees, conduct polls, and support participation during group settings. The devices function in settings that range from a fifth-grade classroom to a corporate training room.
“What makes response technology practical is its simplicity,” a representative said. “Participants can answer a question with a single device, and presenters receive the results right away. That immediacy is useful across many different environments.” According to representative, the format reduces the time instructors spend gathering and tallying responses by hand.
Devices such as QOMO's QClick audience response clicker join an existing catalog of audio and technology products that Encore Data Products supplies to educational and professional customers. The company offers the systems alongside related classroom and presentation equipment, allowing institutions to source multiple components from a single provider.
Encore Data Products reports that interest in interactive learning tools has grown as schools continue to invest in technology that encourages active participation. The company plans to continue evaluating additional products within the audience response category to meet the needs of its customers.
Encore Data Products is a provider of audio and technology products for schools, libraries, and businesses. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, the company supplies headphones, AV technology, clean and healthy supplies, and AV accessories. Its product range includes school headphones, headphones with microphones, charge and sync systems, document and web cameras, PA systems and microphones, language interpretation systems, and equipment for podcasting, streaming, and esports. The company serves educational institutions and organizations seeking reliable technology for learning and communication environments.

Siam Legal International Clarifies Thailand Privilege Background Check Timelines as Screening Expands to Five Agencies

Bangkok, Thailand - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Siam Legal International, an authorized General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for the Thailand Privilege program, has issued guidance for applicants waiting on the program's mandatory background check, the most frequent concern raised by clients whose applications are still pending approval.
The guidance follows an announcement by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC) on September 16, 2026, that member screening has been expanded from two agencies to a "4+1" mechanism. Alongside the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Immigration Bureau, checks now also involve INTERPOL, the Central Investigation Bureau and the Anti-Money Laundering Office. According to TPC, every applicant is screened from the first day of application, with checks repeated every 90 days, at annual visa renewals and during each five-year endorsement cycle.
For applicants, the check at the application stage remains the step most likely to cause anxiety. Thai authorities review each applicant's criminal history, bankruptcy records and any previous overstay history in Thailand before an application can move forward. Based on the firm's experience, the average processing time is four to six weeks.
"When an application goes quiet for a few weeks, most clients assume something has gone wrong," said Rex Baay, Senior Immigration Consultant and Operations Manager at Siam Legal International. "In the vast majority of cases, nothing has. If you are still inside that four-to-six-week window, the process is simply running its course."
Longer waits do occur. The firm has handled cases in which background checks took close to eight weeks, and Baay acknowledged that clients in those situations were understandably concerned. Certain factors can prompt additional review, including a history of holding an Education (ED) visa in Thailand, particularly where that history was not disclosed in the application.
"The single most useful thing an applicant can do is provide complete and accurate information from the start," Baay said. "An omission that seems minor on a form can add weeks of review later. Even so, most of the delays we have seen turned out to be ordinary processing delays, not a problem with the application itself."
Siam Legal is also clear about what it cannot do. Because the immigration and background check process is handled directly by Thai authorities, no agent, including an authorized GSSA, can fast-track it. The firm also avoids speculating about the cause of a delay unless the authorities provide a specific reason.
"Clients sometimes expect us to have a shortcut, and we would rather be honest that one does not exist," Baay said. "What we can do is stay on top of the file. When an application runs longer than expected, our team follows up actively with Thailand Privilege and passes on updates as soon as they are available."
That support extends to travel planning. Many applicants have flights booked or relocation dates set before approval arrives. Siam Legal's team helps clients assess whether the expected approval is likely to align with their travel dates. Where it may not, the team discusses alternative options so clients can plan their next steps with confidence.
The topic is the focus of the latest episode of Ask Rex, Siam Legal's video series answering the questions its team hears most often from clients. In the episode, Baay is joined by one of the firm's Immigration Consultants, Noe, who walks through real case scenarios involving Thailand Privilege background check processing times.
Siam Legal assists applicants with the Thailand Privilege program, formerly known as the Thailand Elite Visa, at no additional cost beyond the official membership fee, which is fixed by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. Applicants with questions about a pending background check or the application process can book a free consultation with the firm's team.

Advanced Industrial Emphasizes CNC Plastic Part Machining Precision and Quality Standards

MOORESVILLE, NC - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Advanced Industrial, a specialized distributor and CNC manufacturer of precision components made primarily from engineering and high-performance plastics based in Mooresville, North Carolina, has outlined the technical practices and quality standards that guide its cnc plastic part machining operations for customers in highly regulated industries. The company detailed how its combination of engineering-grade materials, advanced equipment, and in-house metrology supports the production of tight-tolerance, high-performance plastic components.
The company specializes in supplying precision plastic machined parts and maintains an extensive inventory of premade blanks, including bars, rods, tubes, and sheets. Advanced Industrial operates one of the more technically capable CNC machining floors in the United States, where its plastic machining department relies on state-of-the-art CNC machine tools to achieve tight tolerances and produce intricate designs.
According to Advanced Industrial, its approach to quality begins at the plastics fabrication stage and continues through a proprietary process that spans design, machining, and supply. That process accounts for numerous production variables, including workpiece orientation and workholding, feed rates, cutting speeds, and tool selection. Determining these parameters in advance allows the company's engineers and technicians to meet challenging or unusual specifications while reducing the risk of chipping and enhancing flexure, dimensional stability, and heat tolerance.
Accuracy and control are central to Advanced Industrial's work because many of its customers require high-performance plastic parts capable of operating in extreme conditions. The company serves a range of sectors with its plastic CNC machining services, including analytical instrumentation, food processing, life sciences, marine, material handling, and sample preparation. Its capabilities also extend to aerospace, automotive, medical equipment, military, electronics, and semiconductor applications, where machined polymers can reduce weight while maintaining strength and reliability.
"Precision in cnc plastic part machining is not a single step but the result of controlling every variable from material selection through final inspection," said Paul Cedrone, CEO of Advanced Industrial. "Our teams plan each project in detail before the first cut, because that discipline is what allows us to hold tight tolerances on demanding, high-performance components."
The company's manufacturing footprint reflects that emphasis on capability. Its shop floor includes fourteen high-speed CNC mills and seven multi-tasking CNC lathes with mill-turn capabilities, allowing the company to address a wide variety of machining challenges. Advanced Industrial offers turnkey services that cover the full production cycle, from initial inquiries and design through production and final delivery. Design support includes product design assistance, tooling selection, engineering consulting, CAD and CAM work, and material selection guidance, while machining operations encompass milling, turning, drilling, grinding, and tapping. Finishing services include polishing and edge finishing.
Quality management is handled through stringent in-house procedures, with inspections and testing conducted to confirm that components meet design tolerance requirements and function as intended. Regular quality checks take place during the machining and finishing stages. The company's in-house metrology equipment includes an optical comparator, two coordinate measuring machines, an inspection system, and a range of conventional measurement tools. Advanced Industrial adheres to industry standards and certifications that include Mil-Spec, ISO, AMS, and RoHS, enabling it to serve customers in demanding applications.
Material expertise is another component of the company's offering. As a Tier 1 manufacturer and distributor of polymers and plastics, Advanced Industrial curates an inventory of engineering-grade materials that retain their properties under extreme temperature, pressure, and chemical conditions. Those materials include acetal, cast nylon, Celazole, Ertalyte, polyetheretherketone, polyimides, polytetrafluoroethylene, semi-transparent plastics such as Ultem and polycarbonate, and Torlon.
"Selecting the right polymer is often as important as the machining itself," Cedrone said. "By combining deep material knowledge with our fabrication and machining capabilities, we help customers avoid costly missteps and arrive at parts that perform reliably in the field."
The company noted that it supports lot sizes up to 5,000 units and focuses on fabricating complex plastic parts with demanding specifications. Advanced Industrial positions its combination of material sourcing, engineering support, and precision machining as a way to help customers move from concept to finished component within a single supplier relationship.


Advanced Industrial provides comprehensive plastic machining services and distribution capabilities for customers across a wide range of challenging industries. For more information, visit www.cncplastics.com.
