May 8, 2007 - LAS VEGAS, NV - Long recognized for its winning "behind the scenes" plumbing parts, Newport Brass scores once again with a universal flushing apparatus that offers one solution to a myriad of plumbing needs. Brand officials today unveiled the Newport Brass universal tank mechanism, an innovative new product whose engineering allows it to pivot and rotate into a front, angled or side mount position, making it compatible with most toilets. The piece is the first of its kind to hit the market.

Vice President of Sales & Marketing Jonathan Wood says this latest addition to the brand's product offering, which already includes in-wall plumbing parts, fittings, accessories and lighting in thirty Newport finishes, comes as part of the organization's commitment to offering consumers total bath solutions. "This is a product our customers have been asking for - and we have been working on - for years. Finding the correct way to service virtually every tank offered with one universal mechanism is the kind of win we can all feel good about!" said Wood.

In addition to the universal tank mechanism for internal plumbing needs, Wood says Newport Brass is also introducing an array of tank levers to respond to aesthetic demands. The twenty-two styles of levers range from French Country to contemporary and are available in 30 Newport finishes. Levers and the global tank mechanism are expected to be available this month.
