Gerber®, a leader in plumbing products across North America, is expanding its Viper® Toilet-in-a-Box product line to include an ADA-compliant option. The new bundle will include a Viper 1.28 gpf 12″ Rough-in ErgoHeight™ Elongated Toilet, which meets the height and length requirements as specified in the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).

“Our Viper toilets are one of the most reliable and in-demand products we stock,” said Tony Favilla, Vice President Sales & Marketing for Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC. “It’s a go-to choice for our plumbing customers, no matter how large or small the job. It only made sense to package the ADA-compliant Viper in a TIB kit. It makes the entire installation process so much more efficient for the customer – from estimating to purchasing to installation.”

The Viper line of toilets, regarded as the professional’s choice “Set-It-and-Forget-It Performance,” features a tall, narrow tank that optimizes flush speed, and quickly refills using the trusted, industry best Fluidmaster® 400A Fill Valve. The WaterSense® certified bowl includes powerful front rim jets and a fully glazed and optimized trapway to maintain a clean and sanitary bowl with every flush. Gerber’s exclusive multi-point mounting system and non-corrosive solid brass tank-to-bowl bolts ensure ease of installation and long-lasting stability.

The complete Toilet-in-a-Box kit includes the Viper toilet bowl, tank, slow-close seat and cover, wax ring and floor bolts/nuts. Supply line is not included. The kits are available as of August of 2019.

The 708-unit military community saves more than one million gallons of water in one month.

INSTALLATION AT LA MESA VILLAGE COMMUNITY

In October 2014, Monterey Bay Military Housing upgraded La Mesa Village Community with all new Ultra-High-Efficiency-Technology (UHET™) Water- Saving Kits from Niagara Conservation with no upfront costs. Niagara’s UHET Kits provided La Mesa Village residents with drastically lowered utility bills and reduced maintenance issues.

THE PRODUCTS

La Mesa Village installed Niagara’s UHET Kits throughout the 708-unit property. Each UHET Kit consists of five high-efficiency products that drastically reduce water and energy usage. Each kit included Niagara’s EPA WaterSense® certified Original Stealth 0.8 GPF toilet, Earth Massage 1.5 GPM showerhead, and 1.0 GPM kitchen and bathroom aerators.

The Original Stealth boasts the lowest gallons per flush on the market; flushing at just 0.8 gallons each time thanks to Stealth Technology – a patented, re-engineered flush that works better and wastes nothing. The showerhead and aerators have Niagara’s Equiforce™ Technology, a pressure-compensating technology that guarantees a powerful, consistent flow rate regardless of available water pressure.

The 0.8 GPF toilets were installed to replace the older 1.6 GPF toilets previously found on the property. Monterey Peninsula Water Management District helped fund the retrofit by providing property managers rebates for every toilet installation.

RESULTS

The retrofit began in October 2014 and was completed in less than 30 days. According to Adrian Jimenez, Operations Manager for Monterey Bay Military Housing, La Mesa Village saved 1,113,500 gallons of water when compared to the previous year.

“The installation of Niagara’s high-efficiency plumbing fixtures have been nothing but well received by our residents in the La Mesa Village,” stated Jimenez. “Each retrofit was completed with the utmost professionalism and ease. And since the project’s completion last November, we have not only seen remarkable reductions in water usage within each unit of the community, but also we have received zero complaints from our residents.”

Geberit introduces a new flush actuator series, Sigma21, for their concealed tank and carrier systems. The new actuators provide designers and architects with finish choices not available from any other manufacturer. In addition to white, black and sand glass finishes, Sigma21 is available in genuine Brazilian slate, providing a transitional design motif that complements traditional as well as contemporary bathrooms. Sigma21 is also available with a customizable overlay that can be personalized to blend seamlessly with the wall or create a unique design statement.

“We’re pleased to introduce the striking new Sigma21 Series flush actuators,” says Ronn Jefferson, Geberit Product Manager. “Sigma21 features a frameless design, a durable die cast zinc base unit and can be used in 2×6 and 2×4 installations. Now designers and architects have even more options – more than any other manufacturer – to create a space that matches a customer’s unique style.”

The Sigma21 flush plate is designed to operate reliably push after push, allow easy accessibility for maintenance and achieve maximum water savings when used in conjunction with Geberit dual-flush in-wall toilet tanks.

The Geberit system combined with a wall-hung toilet offers many advantages beyond aesthetics including more space, improved accessibility, better hygiene, real water savings, and superior reliability. Removing the toilet from the floor and suspending it from the wall makes cleaning easy. Plus, installing the toilet seat at a predetermined height — adjustable from 15 to 19 inches — makes it accessible and safe for children and family members with special needs. The system is strong and durable, supporting up to 880 lbs. (400 kg). When combined with the Geberit dual-flush plate — with a big button for standard flush (1.28–1.6 GPF/4.8–6 LPF) and a small button for low-volume flush (0.8 GPF/3 LPF) — a typical family can reduce water consumption by thousands of gallons per year, saving money and paying back the cost of the system over the course of its lifetime.
