Guests at this year’’s KBIS will be the first to see Mansfield Plumbing Products (Mansfield) two new highefficiency toilets (HET). Both Montclair HET and Essence HET use only 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), and complement the current fixtures in the Essence and Montclair Suites. The suites are part of Mansfield’’s ““Affordable Style”” collection, and include matching toilet, sink and tub options in a variety of design styles. The Montclair and Essence suites’’ original toilets use 1.6 gpf. The new Essence HET additionally features a sleeker design than the Essence Suite’’s original toilet, with a smooth contoured tank and lid. ““Over the last few years, we’’ve worked tirelessly to take our most beloved products and create water-saving versions without sacrificing on flushing power and overall performance,”” says Charles Scott, vice president of marketing for Mansfield Plumbing. “

 

“We’’re thrilled that the bath industry’’s leaders will be first to see our powerful, yet stylish, Montclair HET and Essence HET at KBIS.”” In addition to using only 1.28 gpf, the new HETs also:

•• Feature concealed trapways for easier cleaning

•• Comply with ADA requirements

•• Have 3”” flush valves that deliver faster tank emptying rates,

resulting in better flush performance

•• Include jet and hydraulic enhancements that virtually eliminate

clogs

•• Consistently shut off over a wide range of water pressures thanks to

pilot-operated fill valves
