Product Spotlight
The Cold-Shot® Pipe Freezing Kit from General Pipe Cleaners lets you repair an operating water system – without draining lines, sprinkler arrays, or hot water systems before cutting pipe or tubing.
Using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in dip-tube cylinders, the Cold-Shot freezes liquids in steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum, or plastic pipes – 1/8” through 2” in diameter – in minutes.
Safe and easy to use, simply place the freeze head around the pipe, attach the hose, and open the CO2 cylinder valve. Liquid CO2 flows into the Cold-Shot freeze head, forming an ice pack in the line capable of withstanding 7000 psi.
Faster, more compact, and less expensive than “refrigerator-type” units, the Cold-Shot can create an ice plug in copper tubing within five minutes – and in steel pipe within three minutes. And unlike slower, less economic “bag-type” devices, General’s lightweight device provides a much better seal – and distributes CO2 evenly around the pipe.
The Cold-Shot kit includes 10 sets of freeze heads, two high pressure spiral hoses with grips and injectors, T-distributor, locking nut, hex head screw driver, rubber gloves, goggles, and carrying case.

QuickDrain USA has unveiled a new and completely reimagined website, quickdrain.com, designed to offer the ultimate user-friendly experience to design professionals and their clients. Providing intuitive design, improved navigation and functionality, the new website allows visitors to immerse themselves in the full QuickDrain portfolio and to customize those products through a new and innovative product selector tool.
The new website affirms QuickDrain’s brand promise; an elegant blend of design, versatility, and functionality. With high-quality, visually appealing, in-use imagery and clear calls to action, the website delivers to designers, architects, installers, and showroom consultants not only a service, but also an experience, offering an abundance of bath-design inspiration, helpful tools and resources.
The site incorporates the following enhancements:
- Product Selector Tool: The new selector tool (located under the Products tab in the navigation menu) allows installers to customize QuickDrain products to meet the needs of their particular application. Designers and their clientele can now configure a QuickDrain shower solution themselves by responding to a series of questions: Curb or curbless? Linear or center point drain? The selector tool also requests details on drain placement, outlet orientation and enclosure dimensions, while offering customers a visual interface where they can change various attributes (drain cover finish, material, parts, etc.). The payoff is a fully customized PDF-outline of the QuickDrain system designed to their specifications.
- Where to Buy: Quotes and information on where to purchase QuickDrain products are now easily requested through an online form that speeds and streamlines the process. Once the form has been submitted, a member of the QuickDrain Customer Champion Team will contact the customer to walk them through the purchasing and installation process.
“Our primary goal during the redesign process was to create a more valuable, user-centric, and responsive resource for QuickDrain customers,” says Chris Oatey, General Manager of QuickDrain USA. “Specifically, we wanted to focus on delivering our brand’s promise of luxury, while making it easier for users to learn and locate valuable information about our linear and SquareDrain solutions for their particular application or building type.”
The new website features five key navigation channels: Products, Markets, and Installation, plus Education and Training. Besides accessing product and application information, including case studies, visitors can use these channels to access technical documents (submittals, BIM Revit, Code Approvals, etc.) and explore how-to videos and online training opportunities.
The new site at https://www.quickdrain.com/ can be fully accessed through all the major browsers, especially the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox.

Ultra-hygienic toilet with built-in washing nozzles debuts as bidet popularity surges in U.S.
While they’ve been used around the world for over 300 years, it took a global pandemic and historic toilet paper shortage for many Americans to discover the benefits of bidets. Now, as the popularity of the hygienic bathroom fixtures soars in the United States, Mansfield is rising to the occasion by introducing its first-ever toilet with a built-in bidet attachment.
Dubbed Nyren, the toilet features an electronic seat equipped with a self-cleaning spray nozzle offering five adjustable spray positions. The toilet’s washing functionality, including rear wash and feminine wash capabilities, reduces the need for toilet paper and offers users hygienic benefits not available with paper-only cleaning methods.
“We’re excited to help introduce bidet toilets to Americans with the debut of Nyren,” said Stephanie Radebaugh, sanitaryware product manager at Mansfield. “Bidet attachments have an array of hygienic benefits, and we look forward to helping people live a healthier, happier and greener lifestyle.”
Additional features include six different adjustable settings for water, air dryer and seat temperatures. Along with stationary and motion wash modes, as well as three water pressure levels, the user can easily customize their most comfortable experience with a wireless remote control.
Beyond Nyren’s extensive benefits for personal hygiene, the toilet also advances sustainability efforts. With a high-efficiency flush model that allows the user to choose full- or half-flush while washing and rinsing the bowl twice, Nyren saves both water and money. The use of a bidet also substantially decreases the reliance on single-use products like toilet paper and drastically reduces the amount of paper waste directed to sewers and landfills.
Aesthetically, Nyren’s sleek and contemporary design offers a modern style while remaining universal enough to fit the décor in most bathrooms. An LED light inside the bowl enhances convenience for nighttime visits.
Nyren is available through wholesale distributors and direct for consumers on Lowes.com. To learn more about Nyren and all of Mansfield’s product offerings, visit https://www.mansfieldplumbing.com/nyren-smart-toilet/.
