The New Wicker Park Suite from Gerber Offers Modern Design and Significant Water Savings

May, 2009-- Designed with water conservation in mind, the sophisticated Wicker Park™ bathroom suite by Gerber provides the ultimate in contemporary design and product performance. Gerber, the leading manufacturer of vitreous china plumbing products, created the new Wicker Park suite complete with high efficiency toilets (HETs), low flow bathroom faucets, pedestals, and self-rimming or undercounter lavatories.

"Our Wicker Park suite transforms the average bathroom into an exceptional design statement," commented Kevin McJoynt, director of marketing for Gerber. "In addition, the entire collection features water conserving products that result in considerable monthly savings for homeowners."

Gerber's Wicker Park Bath Suite

The Wicker Park suite HETs use only 1.28 gallons of water per flush (gpf) versus the industry standard 1.6 model, saving a minimum of 20 percent annual water usage. Moreover, the Wicker Park bathroom faucets are certified by WaterSense, a program established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), offering water at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) as compared to the industry standard 2.2 gpm.

Available in chrome and brushed nickel finishes, the suite's faucets showcase clean lines that complement the style of the collection's vitreous china. Smooth-acting ceramic disc cartridges and brass waterways continue to be at the core of Gerber faucets. The Wicker Park's pedestal lavatory and self-rimming or undercounter sinks offer expanded deck space and generous wash basins.

The Wicker Park suite HETs are available in Gerber's ADA compliant Elongated, ErgoHeight™ bowls with 12-inch rough-in configurations. The toilets come with 3 inch flush valves and are fueled by Gerber's XP-3 Flushing technology with dual feed jets. An insulated tank also minimizes condensation where ground water is especially cold. All Wicker Park vitreous china items are available in white.

Available summer 2009, the Wicker Park suite is fifth in the line of Gerber's Bathroom Collections. The suite comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is in compliance with ANSI/CSA/IAPMO codes and requirements.
