Smith Announces the PVCEPTOR® Reservoir Dog™ Sanitary Floor SinkJay R. Smith Mfg. Co. is happy to announce the PVCeptor® Reservoir Dog™ Sanitary Floor Sink (Patent Pending), a hygienic alternative to traditional floor sinks.

The PVCeptor offers excellent resistance to chemicals and will not chip, rust or corrode. It is lightweight and easy to install, while the smooth interior and pitched surfaces allow for simple cleaning and maintenance. The PVCeptor can be used with PVC grates, acid resistant cast iron grates that can be installed after the pour, or nickel bronze grates, which must be installed before the pour. The floor sinks are stackable to save room on the shelf and make it easier to carry multiple drains on the job site.

Ideal for use in kitchens, hospitals, food markets, restaurants and all types of food handling areas, the PVCeptor Sanitary Floor Sink is ideal for all applications requiring maximum sanitation. Injection molded from high grade PVC material, the PVCeptor provides a clean, white color and hygienic appearance.

No other manufacturer offers such a wide range of stainless steel and copper tube products designed for reliability, efficiency and application effectiveness.

“Lochinvar products are well-engineered and meet the rigorous standards we require on behalf of our customers,” said Gregg Leighton, Director of Trade Sales at F.W.

What if I said you could have a sparkling clean toilet simply by pressing a button?

Now you can, with American Standard’s new ActiClean Self-Cleaning Toilet.

The new ActiClean system is the toilet that cleans itself, combining the power of revolutionary VorMax flushing technology — which delivers the cleanest flush ever engineered — with a fully integrated self-cleaning system.

Never pick up a toilet brush again. Simply press a button, walk away, and let the toilet do the rest — it’s that easy.

Here’s how the ActiClean system works:

• The user presses the button for the preferred cleaning cycle: a Quick Clean that takes one minute; or a Deep Clean that offers an extended, 10-minute cleaning cycle.
• Cleaning solution travels through the designated channel in the tank and is mixed with water.
• The cleaner is released into the bowl, combined with the powerful VorMax jetted force, which allows the cleaner to completely scour the bowl from top to bottom.
• The cleaner soaks in the bowl for the chosen amount of time. Its fresh fragrance and foaming bubbles indicate it’s hard at work.
• When the soaking time has ended, the system will automatically siphon the cleaning agent and rinse the bowl with clear water.

The ActiClean Toilet is available now through the plumbing wholesale channel.
