Plumber’s Mate is a convenient alternative to rags, paper towels and containers during faucet, toilet, water heater and other plumbing and hydronic HVAC repairs.
RectorSeal® LLC, Houston introduces Plumber’s Mate®, a patented ultra-absorbent utility pad designed for plumbers and HVAC hydronic technicians to protect property from damaging jobsite water drips, spills and accidents during installation and repairs.
The Plumber’s Mate 8.25 (H) x 7.5 (W) x 2.5 (D)-inch (21 x 19 x 6-mm) plastic bag packaging includes six absorbent pads that each unfold to 24 x 24-inches (61 x 61-mm) for placement under potential water drips and spills. Each pad is constructed of three-pieces: 1) dry touch top layer; 2) dynamic liquid containment layer that uses SuperCore technology to hold up to one quart (0.9-liter) of water; and 3) a leak and waterproof protective plastic layer back sheet, that prevents moisture contact with floors and molding.
Plumber’s Mate is a neat, clean, convenient and disposable alternative to rags, paper towels and cumbersome catch-all containers when working in cramped areas of dishwashers, sink cabinets, water heaters, washing machines and toilet supply lines. Besides service work, Plumber’s Mate is ideal as a temporary protectant under slow dripping supply water sources until permanent repairs can be made.
Other Plumber’s Mate features include:
- Available in cases of seven 6-packs;
- Perfect solution for drying hard-to-drain toilet tanks before repairs;
- U.S. patent number 6,675,702 B1;
- Uses the same three-piece technology as hospital-grade bed pads;
- Made in the USA with domestic and foreign-manufactured materials.
Plumber’s Mate is available at most plumbing and HVAC trade wholesale distributors. Individual packages can be displayed on J-hook merchandisers or cases can be opened into branded, sleeved cardboard counter displays.

OLFA announced its #OLFAintheTrades initiative today, which aims to give back to men and women in the trades and foster the next generation of professionals. This initiative will support qualified trade education programs by supplying them with top-of-the-line OLFA utility knives and more.
Trade instructors can register eligible classes to receive an OLFA 18mm LA-X or L-5 knife for each student, an OLFA banner, and a chance to be featured on the OLFA social channels and website. Trade students who register their new knives will receive tool box stickers, student discounts, and the possibility of participating in the “OLFA All-Pro Team” of ambassadors.
“Without our trade instructors and career education programs, we would not have the continuous advancement and innovation in the trades that we do today,” said Cassie Donnelly, Sr. Brand Manager at OLFA. “Our goal for this project is to contribute to the development of these programs, and make attaining top-quality tools one less cost or concern for both the educators and the students.”

To sign up, instructors need to provide necessary information about their programs. Programs verified by OLFA to meet the requirements will then receive their specified knives – either the LA-X or L-5, and other aforementioned benefits.
To register and learn more about the #OLFAintheTrades initiative, instructors can visit this page: try.olfa.com/instructors/ and students can refer their instructors to register their classes.
