MELTRIC plans WEFTEC 2026 showcase for water and wastewater gear

MELTRIC will exhibit at WEFTEC 2026 in New Orleans from Sept. 26-30, with its exhibition open Sept. 28-30. The company plans hands-on demos of switch-rated plugs and receptacles aimed at improving safety and reducing downtime for pumps, motors, mixers and other water-sector equipment.

Why it matters: - Water and wastewater operators need connections that can withstand moisture, washdown, dirt, corrosion and outdoor exposure. - MELTRIC’s switch-rated products are positioned to help facilities improve electrical safety, simplify maintenance and cut downtime on critical equipment. - WEFTEC is North America’s largest annual water conference, so the show gives MELTRIC direct access to a concentrated audience of water professionals.

What happened: - MELTRIC will exhibit at WEFTEC 2026 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. - The conference runs Sept. 26-30, 2026, and the exhibition floor is open Sept. 28-30. - MELTRIC will staff Booth #9828 and offer hands-on demonstrations for attendees.

The details: - MELTRIC makes industrial plugs and receptacles. - The company’s switch-rated plugs and receptacles are designed for pumps, motors, mixers and other critical water and wastewater equipment. - MELTRIC describes the products as a plug-and-play alternative to traditional hardwired connections. - The devices combine a plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in one unit. - The setup allows equipment to be disconnected, changed out and returned to service more quickly. - Switch-rated devices are UL-listed to safely make and break electrical loads. - The products can serve as a line-of-sight disconnect. - Safety features include dead-front construction, enclosed arc chambers, integral lockout/tagout provisions and quick-break switching. - MELTRIC also offers watertight, environmentally robust connections for harsh operating conditions. - Booth visitors can discuss specific applications with MELTRIC specialists. - Qualified attendees can learn about MELTRIC’s Free Product Offer program and the option to evaluate a MELTRIC connection in their own facility. - MELTRIC directs visitors to more information. - WEFTEC registration, schedules and show details are available at WEFTEC.org.
