K 3000 Wet Electric Power Cutter
Olathe, Kan.

Husqvarna Construction Products' K 3000 Wet is an electric power cutter that allows the user to cut indoors easily and cost-effectively, without dust. The K 3000 Wet is equipped with a newly developed wet-cutting kit that regulates the flow of water and concentrates the spray into a stream and then onto the blade. Specially designed nozzles are housed in specific positions along the blade guard to help keep water flow use to a minimum. It is important to keep water flow to a level that is sufficient to suppress the dust, but not cause excessive slurry. The K 3000 Wet is ideal for rapid and simple onsite cutting, and can make easy adjustments between a variety of building components, including pipes, reinforced steel and struts.

BLOK-FLASH Flashing Pans
Mortar Net
Gary, Ind.

Mortar Net's one-piece BLOK-FLASH installs swiftly atop foundation or first course, and fits all exterior block sizes. It saves labor and materials versus customary options; holds superior bond; eliminates need for multiple sizes of architectural CMU; and is useful wherever flashing is specified. A built-in "bridge" intercepts moisture falling between pans, and a sharper slope creates faster outflow. The built-in Weep Spout expels moisture away from the foundation. Made of tough, lightweight, high-density polyethylene, BLOK-FLASH's polyester-mesh Drainage Mattes insert easily into the cores of the next course above pans to protect weep from mortar/grout droppings.
