KALAMAZOO, Michigan, United States, 12 January 2020: Green Link Engineering, which develops and produces polymeric architectural products, has become a member of Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) –  a professional organisation that is the single voice of wholesale distribution to the HVACR industry, the company said through a Press release.

Green Link designs and manufactures the KnuckleHead rooftop support system for installation of a range of HVAC equipment, including heat pumps, splits, VRFs, AC units, piping systems, conduits and ductwork. The KnuckleHead system features a unique design that can be configured for various types of roof installations and may be loosely laid or mechanically attached in geographical areas prone to high winds or seismic events, the company said.

“We joined HARDI, because we want the industry to better understand the benefits of the KnuckleHead rooftop support system,” said Dan Olinger, President, Green Link. “We hope to learn more about the needs of professional mechanical contractors and, in return, we hope they will learn more about how the KnuckleHead system can improve installations. KnuckleHeads outperform wood support sleepers that can deteriorate over time, and ballast blocks that add weight to roof when used to secure equipment.”

According to the release, HARDI members market, distribute and support heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, parts and supplies. HARDI members, the release said, serve installation and service contractors in residential and commercial markets, as well as commercial/industrial and institutional maintenance staff, the release said. HARDI, the release added, represents more than 480 distributor members representing more than 5,000 branch locations, and close to 500 manufacturers, manufacturer representatives and service vendors.
