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.

Plumbing contractors know that specifying high-quality fixtures can have a direct impact on the performance and longevity of a commercial restroom. Bradley’s Verge™ faucets are engineered with precision, offering industry-leading technology, enhanced vandal resistance and long-lasting durability. Designed for optimal performance – even in high-traffic applications – these faucets bring reliability and efficiency to any commercial setting, while looking streamlined and attractive.
Dual Sensor Technology
A key technical advantage of Verge Faucets is their patented dual sensor technology, which delivers activation accuracy. This technology minimizes frustrating false activations while conserving battery power. Contractors will appreciate the optimization of battery life, minimizing the need for frequent replacements and lowering maintenance costs.
Vandal Resistance
The faucets feature hidden sensors, nozzles, and aerators, which not only enhance Verge Faucets’ sleek and modern aesthetic but also deter tampering and vandalism. With no exposed components left vulnerable to damage, these faucets are designed to increase functionality and style in restrooms.
Bradley’s new optional 4-inch trim plates with integral rotation-resistant pins provide enhanced vandal resistance, making Verge Faucets ideal for public and high-use facilities. This added security feature ensures that faucets remain securely in place, reducing maintenance and extending the lifespan of the fixture.
Water Efficiency Features
With a selection of multiple low-flow options available, Verge Faucets allow customization of water usage to address specific requirements. Whether the priority is water conservation for LEED certification or encouraging handwashing with steady flow of water, adjustable run times can be tailored to meet facility needs.
Auto Flush Improves Hygiene
To prevent stagnant water and bacterial growth, Verge Faucets feature an automatic flush function that activates every 24 hours. A manual valve override can provide extended flushing, which is especially important in healthcare environments where hygiene is critical. This feature maintains clean water lines, safeguarding against contamination and minimizing maintenance.
Durable Solid Brass Craftsmanship
Bradley, known for high-quality craftsmanship, has engineered Verge Faucets with solid brass construction, for superior durability and reliability. These faucets are designed to withstand heavy use, making them a long-lasting solution for today’s commercial washrooms.
Also consider pairing Verge Faucets with matching Verge Soap Dispensers for a completely unified handwashing design.
Power Options
Verge Faucets are designed for flexibility with AC power operation and an optional battery backup. This ensures uninterrupted performance in the event of a power outage, making them a dependable choice for even the most challenging applications.
For plumbing contractors seeking high-performance, vandal-resistant, and low-maintenance faucets, Bradley’s Verge Faucets offer a comprehensive solution. With advanced sensor technology, durable construction, and water-saving features, these faucets are designed to meet even the toughest demands of commercial restrooms while ensuring dependability and efficiency.

New Model Includes 6-Year Tank Warranty, 1-Year Parts Warranty
American Standard Water Heaters has introduced the 80-gallon Light Duty Commercial Electric Storage water heater, a unit that is loaded for powerful performance for years to come.
Among the many features that make this water heater different from similar models on the market is the warranty: the unit includes an industry-leading 6-year tank warranty and a 1-year parts warranty. Several features that will help prolong tank life include:
- Screw-in dual-heating elements that are manufactured with Incoloy® and have low wattage density to ensure operation and longer element life.
- A turbulence-inducing dip tube, engineered to reduce sediment build-up inside the tank.
- A heavy gauge steel tank that ensures years of trouble-free service, and a magnesium anode rod that will also prolong tank life.
The DuraGlas™ lined tank is fired at 1600˚F for optimum protection from corrosion. It is hydrostatically tested and certified at 300 PSI test pressure/150 PSI working pressure to ensure quality and safety.
Additional features include:
- Factory-installed heat traps that reduce standby heat loss caused by heat mitigation to water pipes.
- Two-inch thick HFO foam insulation to further prevent heat loss to the surrounding environment.
- Fully automatic, surface mounted thermostats to enable easy temperature control, and a manual energy cut-off prevents overheating.
- A full flow brass drain valve that ensures quick and easy drainage.
- A factory-provided and installed temperature and pressure relief valve.
American Standard Water Heaters did not forget the installing contractors: The 80-gallon Light Duty also includes a terminal block for easy phase-in or operational conversions in the field.
