Because a picture tells a thousand words, even the uninitiated can tell there's a small problem in this pad-mount transformer. Industry insiders are familiar with the cause: rodents. Luckily, Polywater has just introduced a new sealant that forms a ground barrier, preventing burrowing critters from wreaking such havoc: InstaGrout Sealant Barrier. This photo was included in the recent market introduction, accomplished via our Juice! Newsletter. The response was impressive. Not surprisingly, this picture was the most popular click-through. Sales agents should be aware of an additional application for new InstaGrout not mentioned in the flyer or newsletter. That is to fill transformer pad voids that occur outside the transformer when a size-mismatched replacement box is reset atop the original pad--something that happens surprisingly often at some utilities. If the new box isn't as wide as the pad "window", a portion of the opening can be left exposed. This opening must be filled to seal out all intruders, including curious children who might attempt to poke fingers or sticks inside. In such a case, even if a utility's work standards don't require sealing the pad window inside the transformer, this exposed slot on the outside end of the box must be sealed for safety reasons. InstaGrout is the perfect solution. |
