  • Flexibile Piping Products
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/14/2007)
  • FlowGuard Gold. Featuring corrosion and scale resistance, quiet operation, and durability, Flex pipe and Gold Bendable pipe are new flexible piping products. A three-layer design protects the Flex pipe against chlorine and ultraviolet light degradation, says the maker. Gold Bendable composite pipe uses a multi-layer design in under-slab applications, eliminating the need for joints and reducing the risk of leaks, the firm says. 888-234-2436.
  • The distinctive Kobe Basin from Bristol and Bath.Bristol and Bath DRIVES the Reuse Trend With Their Innovative Wall-Mounted Tire Basin And Wing Nut Mirror.
  • ebuild (5/14/2007)
  • The distinctive Kobe Basin from Bristol and Bath is pure fun with its unexpected tire motif that is sure to make men and car enthusiasts sit up and take notice. The appeal of the Kobe Basin is its simplistic design - an ordinary car tire transformed into something both hip and whimsical. The rubber tire is set with a aluminum basin and accessorized with galvanized steel mounting hardware and towel rack. Although the design may be unexpected, the basin is actually quite practical and naturally durable. It can be installed indoors or out, and is perfect for a special garage, game room or car collector's studio.

  • Saniflo manufactures above-floor plumbing, using macerating technology. Instead of routing waste and water through a drain in the floor, the effluent is moved to a macerator pump. The macerator uses a fast-rotating cutting blade to break up waste and toilet paper, converting it into a fine slurry that is discharged under pressure through small-diameter piping. The waste is then pumped into a septic tank or sewer system.

  • THE SANIPLUS MACERATING TOILET SYSTEM from SFA Saniflo Inc. allows the construction of bathrooms where it is impossible or cost-prohibitive to install conventional plumbing fixtures that require below-floor drainage. Similar to a garbage disposal, the macerator uses a fast-rotating cutting blade (photo left) to liquefy human waste and toilet paper in the flush water. Within seconds, this fine slurry is discharged under pressure through a copper, PVC or CPVC discharge line as small as 3/4-inch to a soil stack or a septic tank.
  • Powerful Saniflo Macerating Toilet System Handles the Most Demanding Applications
  • ebuild (5/10/2007)
  • The new SANIBEST MACERATING TOILET SYSTEM is the only point-of-use grinder pump for bathroom applications currently on the market. Recommended for larger homes, rental units or any other situation where flushing sanitary articles might be a concern, the SANIBEST can efficiently discharge waste water not only from a water closet, but also from a hand basin, bath tub, bidet, even a clothes washer (indirectly through a laundry tub). Certified by CSA International for use in both the United States and Canada, the new SANIBEST represents a step up in flushing power from Saniflo's popular SANIPLUS model, which will meet the needs of a typical residential application involving a toilet, hand basin, bathtub and shower. The key difference between the two units can be found in their macerating devices.
