On October 6, at Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, manufacturers’ representative firm Hollabaugh Brothers & Associates brought together 100 specifying engineers and facility managers to experience the broad range of Watts products, integrated system solutions, and design resources. Themed “Your Connection to Innovative Water Solutions,” the event also offered three CEU courses – on rainwater harvesting, digital mixing technology, and the use of automatic control valves (ACVs) in commercial high-rise buildings.
“As event co-hosts, we enjoyed the opportunity to talk with guests about Watts technologies and solutions specifically designed to support the design and management of plumbing systems in commercial and institutional buildings,” said Andrew Windsor, Watts Senior Vice President, Sales. “And we affirmed our commitment to providing the technical resources, training, and tools they need to keep pace with rapidly changing technologies.”
Watts presented solutions that meet drainage, acid waste removal, water filtration, flow control, rainwater harvesting, and other critical plumbing requirements and gained insight into some of the biggest challenges specifying engineers and facility managers are facing. Armed with new knowledge, they will be prepared to choose the best possible solutions for their system design and management needs.

BrassCraft® Safety+PLUS® excess flow valves and connectors incorporate state-of-the-art technology with precision engineering, providing an advanced solution to homeowners that helps protect against gas related fires and explosions. In the event of a gas line rupture or disconnect, the Safety+PLUS® valve automatically activates to restrict gas flow at the appliance. This immediate action helps avert the potential for a hazardous buildup of gas in the home. Gas flow is controlled at the appliance where the rupture occurred; the rest of the home’s system will continue to function. The valve will remain activated until the gas line is properly repaired. Once repaired, the Safety+PLUS® valve automatically resets to restore normal gas flow to the appliance.
Safety+PLUS Advantage® gas connectors combine excess flow technology with the advanced corrosion resistance of the ProCoat® polymer coating, to provide a safer connector for your home. The coating effectively protects the connector from prolonged exposure to most harsh household chemicals that can cause deterioration and pinhole leaks.

Celebrity Clean Freak Howie Mandel Serves as “The Face of ActiClean”; TV, Radio, Print and Social Ads Tout “Surprise Guests Are No Worries”?
Unexpected guests at the front door? Worse yet, the in-laws stopping by unannounced? It’s no worries with the new ActiClean self-cleaning toilet from American Standard. Simply press a button, walk away, and let the toilet do the rest.Just ask Howie Mandel. The comedian, television host and self-described germaphobe is helping launch the ActiClean self-cleaning toilet, serving as its P.R. spokesperson.American Standard, a LIXIL company, has invested heavily in the introduction of ActiClean, which is currently launching in both retail and wholesale channels. The ActiClean self-cleaning toilet is a first-of-its-kind product for U.S. homeowners seeking low-maintenance, affordable products that make life easier.The brand is undertaking an innovative omni-channel approach to getting the word out to everyone in America that ActiClean is the solution for anyone who dreads the unpleasant task of cleaning their toilet, or wants to make sure their toilet is always ready for unexpected guests.”A surprise visit from the in-laws is stressful,” said Jeannette Long, vice president of marketing communications. “We used that idea in our advertising to show how worry-free owning the ActiClean toilet can be and demonstrate how American Standard is raising the standard.The national advertising campaign, called “Surprise! It’s the In-Laws!,” will span TV, radio, consumer and trade print, digital and paid social to launch ActiClean. Imagine the embarrassment of welcoming a surprise guest into your home and wondering whether your toilet is clean. This national publicity effort uses that insight to demonstrate you’ll never need to worry again. Television advertising debuted September 2016 using targeted cable and video-streaming networks. Broadcast is complemented with endemic home decor print for consumers, and trade print for plumbers, architects and designers.Supporting with earned media and social is a campaign leveraging clean freak Mandel, who leads the ActiClean Patrol to find one lucky homeowner to receive a visit from him with an ActiClean toilet delivered to their home for installation. Consumers are invited to upload videos to the ActiClean Patrol website, showing why their bathroom desperately needs an ActiClean toilet to keep it clean and neat.“The development of this new ActiClean self-cleaning toilet is a huge accomplishment in our business. It is a testament that American Standard, after more than 140 years in the plumbing industry, continues to lead the way in developing innovative kitchen and bath fixtures that offer consumers a lifetime of exceptional performance and reliability,” said Maha El Kharbotly, chief marketing officer of LIXIL Water Technology Americas, the business unit under which American Standard operates.To participate in the ActiClean Patrol program, visit www.acticleanpatrol.com.To learn more about the new ActiClean toilet, visit www.americanstandard.com/acticlean or call (800) 442-1902.
