The original Dry Air Pac® has defined reliability for almost three decades. As we continue to build on that legacy with the Dry Air Pac® Advance Series - and as the last production unit in the old style left our floor - we took a moment to recognize its impact.

Back in 1995, Geoff Pridham and his Engineering team set out to streamline the bulky, complex dry air skids common at the time into a compact, easy-to-install unit designed for Fire Sprinkler Contractors. The result was the Dry Air Pac®: a reliable solution that still has thousands of units supervising moisture-sensitive dry systems around the world today.

Last week before shipping the final production old-style unit, we surprised Geoff with a plaque to commemorate his design, along with a special badge affixed to the unit commemorating its three decades of service.

As the torch passes to the new Dry Air Pac® Advance Series, with its updated features and modern design - it does so on the shoulders of an industry workhorse that delivered exemplary performance across countless installations.

Thank you, Geoff, for your hard work, leadership, and continued legacy!
