Great demonstration of the power of the UT-3000 panel.  The UltraTalk is the industry’s only communicating panel built on the ClimateTalk®  open protocol.

St. Louis is the home of Vapco– now known as QuestVapco.  For decades, contractors in the midwest have asked for Foaminator coil cleaner, Bird Dog leak detector and Mean Green spray adhesive by name.  These quality products have stood the test of time and continue to be popular for their quality and excellent value.  However, with the merger between Vapco and Quest, there is an untapped trove of products under the QuestVapco label.  Here is a list of ten items you most likely know nothing about, and will wish you knew about sooner!

It can also be used on metals such as fire walks, fire escapes and ladders used to access electrical, communication, and other similar equipment that need to be maintained during the winter. It reduces the overall cleaning costs due to the use of granular ice melt. It is tested and proven to be effective to -25°F.

Halfpenny Sales now represents Great Lakes Copper in Kansas and Missouri.  We are thrilled to partner with a company that has a long tradition in North American manufacturing.  Great Lakes Copper manufactures the exceptional quality Kamco® Division linesets and ACR Tubing for the HVAC/R industry.  

The foundation for the present operations of Great Lakes Copper, Inc. started in late 1916 in Detroit, Michigan, when a small tube re-drawing Mill was organized to supply heater tubes to the automotive industry.  Three years later, it was sold and by 1928, the Company had five and one-half acres under one roof.  By 1942, Wolverine had expanded its facilities to include casting and extrusion in copper and brass.  It was purchased by Calumet & Hecla Consolidated Copper Company the same year.

In 1945, negotiations were begun to construct, in Alabama, the most modern Copper Mill that technology of that day could provide.  Operations began in Decatur, Alabama in 1948.  At the time of its construction, The Decatur Plant was the largest Copper Tube Mill in the world.

To accommodate a growing Canadian market, Wolverine began construction of our London Plant in October 1956.  The Bill of Lading covering our first shipment of copper water tube was signed by the Honourable Donald Fleming, then Minister of Finance, on April 21, 1958.  We annually celebrate this date as our Plant birthday.  In 1966, we added a bay to the north which has become known as the Coil Mill.

The Plant is a completely integrated facility in that we start with refined copper and convert it into copper base alloy tube in a wide range of types and sizes. The products are used in the refrigeration and air conditioning applications, plumbing, medical and for a wide number of general industrial uses. Great Lakes Copper, Inc. continues to ship finished tubing to approximately forty countries throughout the world.
