The summer issue of Valve Magazine, to mail in mid-July, will feature another article in the magazine's popular "Back to Basics" series, this one on the ever-present fire hydrant. In addition, the summer issue contains the annual Industry Guide to Suppliers, a year-round reference that will feature a wide range of companies providing both products and services to manufacturers of valves, actuators and controls.

The editorial line-up will also include articles on the growing use of wireless automation in today's plants, options for partial stroke testing and trends in desalinisation. Watch also for columns on instrumentation, materials and maintenance & repair, as well as a new product focus on water/wastewater applications.
