Eco Nexus High-efficiency Toilet
- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/7/2007)
- Eco Nexus is one of nine 1.28-gpf high-efficiency toilets introduced by the manufacturer this year. The toilets use the E-Max flushing technology, a gravity-fed, single-flush system with a standard trip lever. They use a specially designed fill valve to create high head pressure, which maximizes the flow rate. A 3-inch flush valve prevents clogging. 800-350-8686. www.totousa.com.

Custom-made Urinals and Sinks
- ARCHITECT Magazine (9/7/2007)
- Producing urinals that are works of art, Clark Sorensen sculpts high-fire porcelain into large-scale shells and flowers. He does not use molds, so each piece is unique. The urinals feature holes for plumbing, with the flush valve on top. Sorensen uses standard sizes and also can accommodate special requests, such as aligning the holes so plumbing can be placed inside the wall. Customers can order existing designs, posted on Sorensen's Web site, or submit requests for new sculptures. Sorensen can also produce existing styles in custom colors. However, special orders take five to eight months to complete, because porcelain has a long drying time. In addition to urinals, Sorensen makes leaf, shell, and flower bowl sinks that measure about 18 to 22 inches in diameter.

- CUSTOM HOME Magazine (9/1/2007)
