IN FOCUS New Hydronic Valve Sizing Tool A
lbion Valves (UK) Ltd are pleased to announce the launch of their brand-new Hydronic Valve Sizing Tool. This tool will allow users to quickly identify suitable Albion products based on specific project
requirements. Hydronic valve selection should not be based on line size alone. To support accurate valve sizing, this
tool considers key system data, including flow rate, pressure drop in kPa, glycol percentage and other essential project information. The tool can be used to size Commissioning Stations (CS), Metering Stations (MS/OP), Double
Regulating Valves (DRV), Differential Pressure Control Valves (DPCV), Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICV), EasyLink units and Constant Flow Regulators (CFR). After you have added your selected valves to the basket, you can export the list as a CSV or PDF, or
generate an enquiry email to send directly to the Albion team for further information, including pricing and availability. By making this tool publicly available, Albion is further demonstrating its commitment to supporting
the industry and promoting best practice installations. Alongside our BIM components, LCA data, CPD programme and project support services, it forms part of a wider technical offering that gives contractors and consultants the information they need to make informed decisions from the outset. Any feedback or questions about the tool, please send to

ESP launches new Espire Fire Alarm Input Module for enhanced domestic detection
E
SP has expanded its Espire domestic fire detection range with the launch of the new Espire
Fire Alarm Input Module, delivering a practical and reliable solution for seamless third-party system integration across a wide range of applications including HMOs and social housing. Designed to operate as part of
the Espire alarm system using ESP’s RF-Link wire-free technology, the new input module is powered by a sealed, non-replaceable 10-year lithium battery, providing long-term reliability while significantly simplifying installation. The wire-free design removes the
need for mains wiring to the device, making it suitable for projects where cable installation is difficult, disruptive or cost prohibitive. This allows contractors and installers to complete installations quickly and efficiently, particularly in retrofit environments. The Espire Fire Alarm Input Module enables compatible third-party devices, including fire suppression
systems such as sprinklers, to trigger connected Espire alarm sounders and deliver a clear audible warning throughout the property. This enhanced level of integration provides greater flexibility for specifiers and installers working across a wide range of domestic settings. Ideally suited for HMOs, social housing schemes and standard residential properties, the module
offers a compact footprint that fits within a standard 1-gang back box, supplied as standard, enabling discreet installation. A clear front-facing LED indicator provides simple visual confirmation of operational status for both installers and maintenance.
Key features and benefits include: • Compatible with RF-Link Enabled Espire Alarms • Volt-free input switch to sound alarms • •
10-year sealed battery Standard 1-gang installation surface box included
