New Fusion Tool Manufacturer in the United States

Bedford, Indiana, USA, October 21, 2022 – Geo-Flo Corporation announced today that it has acquired the geothermal fusion tools business from CB Supplies Ltd, Surrey, BC Canada, (formerly Vanguard Pipe and Fittings Ltd). CB Supplies had been manufacturing and supplying socket fusion heating irons, socket fusion adapters, chamfer tools, cold ring pliers, along with other tools and fittings to the geothermal industry for over 20 years. Geo-Flo has been producing flow centers, pump systems, hose kits, and specialty fittings for the geothermal industry for over 34 years. Geo-Flo President, Tom Wyer, said “We are excited that these high-quality rugged tools will continue to be manufactured in North America by our skilled and dedicated employees”. Geo-Flo’s facility includes advanced software, CNC machines, and other tooling they use to design and produce equipment for the water-source, geothermal, and hydronics industries. Wyer added “We’ve created custom fusion tools for the manufacture of our own products so producing standard fusion tools is a natural progression for us.” Geo-Flo will begin manufacturing these tools in their Bedford, Indiana plant this year. They will also offer fusion iron repair kits and a refurbishment service for those with existing tools. A complete list of socket fusion tools and accessories with a cross reference to CB Supplies’ part numbers is available on Geo-Flo’s website (https://www.geo-flo.com/fusion-tools/).

Geo-Flo’s fusion irons are available in single face and double face, and feature a simple, rugged, proven design.
Geo-Flo’s cold ring pliers are color coated to enable quick recognition of the pipe size allowing more experienced installers to train less experienced staff (“…hand me the red cold rings”). Geo-Flo plans to match the chamfer tools’ colors to the cold ring pliers making installations even easier.
