RectorSeal Acquires All-Access™ Brand of HVAC Condensate
Management Products.
Acquisition includes expertise of All-Access developer
Stuart Oakner, who will support RectorSeal product
development.
RectorSeal LLC, a manufacturer of quality HVAC/R
products and operating subsidiary of CSW Industrials,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CSWI), recently acquired the assets of MSD
Research including its All-Access™ brand of air
conditioning system condensate management products.
All-Access is a leading brand of air conditioning
mechanical float switches, drain line cleanout devices
and supporting accessories invented by Stuart Oakner,
MSD Research president. Recent revisions to the
International Mechanical Code’s (IMC) condensate drain
line maintenance section has increased All-Access’
popularity among HVAC service technicians, especially
products featuring an easy entry cleanout design that
eliminates the need to cut the 3/4-inch drain pipe for
access.
While All-Access complies with new construction codes,
it also complements RectorSeal’s renowned
retrofit-oriented Safe-T-Switch®, the HVAC industry’s
leading condensate overflow cutoff switch product line.

“All-Access products will ensure we’re providing the
best condensate management products to the industry,
especially for new construction,” said Jeff Underwood,
RectorSeal’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Oakner, a former 25-year veteran HVAC contractor
licensed in Florida and prolific inventor, will now
assume roles of inventor-in-residence and consultant for
RectorSeal as part of the acquisition. “I am pleased to
be supporting the RectorSeal product development team,”
said Oakner. “The vast product development resources
available at RectorSeal will help support and advance
the development of many future innovative products for
HVAC/R and other construction industries.”
Traditional HVAC/R distributors will be able to buy
All-Access products from RectorSeal, which is
transitioning its marketing, sales and customer support
for All-Access and merging the
www.allaccessdevice.com website into
www.rectorseal.com.
The All-Access transaction is RectorSeal's sixth
acquisition since 2011 when it acquired Airtec, Fall
River, Mass. Other recent acquisitions include Resource
Conservation Technologies (AquaGuard®) electronic
condensate management sensors and switches,
Glue-On-Nozzle, SureSeal®, the Evo-Crete™ and PolySlab™
brands from Australian-based Evolve Group, and AC Leak
Freeze® refrigerant leak sealants. “We will continue to
aggressively seek acquisitions of HVAC products that
complement our current offering for contractors,” said
Underwood. “We will also continue building on the model
of working with inventors of great products after they
sell. We see a huge value in involving them with the
creation of the next generation of innovative products
that will help trade people perform tasks quickly and
more effectively.”
