Product Spotlight

With a Cold-Shot® Pipe Freezing Kit, you don’t have to drain water lines, sprinkler systems, or hot water systems before cutting pipe or tubing. Our pipe freezing tool keeps a fully pressurized system operating while you make repairs.

The Cold-Shot pipe freezing tool freezes liquids in metal and plastic pipes ranging from 1/8″ through 2″ (10mm to 60mm) using carbon dioxide (CO₂). Dip tube-type CO₂ cylinders are available from any welding supply house.

The Cold-Shot works faster than “refrigerator-type” units, is more compact and less expensive. It’s faster and uses less CO₂ than “bag-type” pipe freezers, because the freeze head makes a better seal around the pipe. In five minutes you’re ready to go to work on 1/2″ copper tubing, and just three minutes for cast iron pipe.

For today’s commercial washrooms, touchless restroom technology is no longer just a nice-to-have – it’s a must. According to recent research, 80% of Americans say touchless fixtures are important, and 75% say they prove their overall restroom experience.

For mechanical contractors tasked with meeting these rising expectations, Bradley’s all-in-one touchless WashBar® offers the perfect solution – combining advanced technology with fast, straightforward installation. It also checks all the boxes for efficient soap refills, keeping water off floors and extended dryer motor life.

An Innovative Approach to Touch-free Handwashing

The WashBar combines soap, water, and dryer in a single cast metal unit, available in multiple corrosion-resistant finishes. Icons help users navigate the functions, and LED lights indicate activation by changing from blue to green. The clean, rinse, and dry functions operate independently without triggering adjacent functions.

With sleek design, reliable multifunction operation and yhe WashBar provides a seamless touch-free handwashing experience. The WashBar’s streamlined U-shaped design isn’t just stylish — it’s functional and ergonomic. It’s also a registered trademark of Bradley, emphasizing their leadership in modern washroom design.

Simplified Installation

For contractors, the biggest advantage is what the WashBar removes from the install list: separate soap dispensers, faucets, and hand dryers. With one fixture handling it all, labor is significantly reduced, meaning fewer wall and deck penetrations, less coordination between trades, and simpler electrical and plumbing connections.

With pre-assembled components on-site labor is minimized. The deck-mounted fixture is compatible with Bradley’s extensive selection of lavatory systems made of Terreon^® Solid Surface or Evero^® Natural Quartz. Both materials are resilient and sustainable natural composite materials that are nonporous, seamless and easy to clean.

The WashBar is designed to make installs easier and faster, without sacrificing performance or code compliance.

Top Fill Multi-feed Soap System

Maintenance is also minimized. The WashBar’s innovative top fill soap design features a large capacity 1.3-gallon (5.0 L) tank that can supply up to three WashBars – a huge time saver for facilities with multiple stations.

Staff can easily refill soap to multiple units through a single top fill hub. Smart sense system with LED indicator lets staff know when soap and battery levels are low and provides audible and visual indicators to prevent overfilling.

Hand Dryer Keeps Floors Cleaner and Drier

The WashBar’s dryer is engineered to balance air flow and noise, providing a better user experience. While its heated air stream dries hands quickly and efficiently, the dryer and bowl have been designed to work together to eliminate the spraying of water that could drip onto the user, walls or floor, minimizing slips and falls, and increasing safety.

Brushless Motor for Longer Life

For added durability, Bradley’s latest WashBar models include a new brushless hand dryer motor with 10 times the lifespan of standard brushed motors. It’s backed by an upgraded 3-year warranty.

Bemis demonstrates its commitment to innovation with an industry-first, universal toilet seat, prioritizing convenience for professional installers

Bemis, a leading manufacturer of quality, innovative bathroom products, today announced the launch of its Universal Fit™ toilet seat. New to the industry and recently awarded a Reviewed KBIS 2025 Award, the Universal Fit™ is the first traditional toilet seat engineered and designed to fit both standard round and elongated toilet bowls.

Universal Fit™arrives as more plumbers and installers seek convenience on the job. Before, if a customer unexpectedly requested to change their toilet seat and the professional installer  didn’t have the right size, they’d have to leave the jobsite, purchase the seat, then return to finish the job — a long process that took time away from their other jobs. Universal Fit™ solves this problem by being a seat that can fit any standard toilet bowl, whether round or elongated, saving time and money in inventory for professional installers.

This new toilet seat also benefits wholesalers, who’ll only need to manage and inventory one model instead of two, saving them more space.

One of Universal Fit’s™ features is Bemis’ patented Stay·Tite® Seat Fastening System™, which allows the toilet seat to stay secure to the bowl without shifting or wiggling. Additionally, its Whisper·Close® hinge enables the seat to close slowly and quietly, allowing users to avoid disturbing others. The hinge is designed with extreme adjustability, allowing the seat to fit standard round and elongated toilets.

“Universal Fit™ supports Bemis’ commitment to market-backed innovation by offering our customers exceptional products that solve problems, make lives easier and improve the user experience,” said Lisa Burns, market and product development manager at Bemis. “It’s a big win when you can bring a product to market that solves a problem for both wholesalers and installers. Universal Fit™ means only one model for installers to keep on their truck for last-minute requests or for the wholesaler to inventory when space is limited.”

Universal Fit™ is now available. For more information, inquire at your local wholesale plumbing distributor or trade counter.
