The new TriHawk HD housing offers a number of patented features designed to enhance the efficiency of directional drilling, including a square drive spline that enables operators to quickly and easily change tooling as downhole conditions change. Another patented feature is a boltless, pinnedlid system that provides exceptional protection for—and easy removal of—the tracking electronics. With its innovative, high-flow design, TriHawk has the power and volume necessary to also run two other types of trenchless systems: mud motors and air hammers. Available in four sizes, the new TriHawk HD housing is compatible with Ditch Witch and Vermeer® drills, and is now available at Ditch Witch dealerships. Four TriHawk bits are available for use with the new TriHawk HD housing: The patented TriHawk I is designed for soft rock conditions up to 8,000 psi (552 bar), and is also productive in dry, compacted soils as well as cobble and broken formations. The patented, abrasionresistant TriHawk III features powerful, carbide-core cutting teeth designed to efficiently cut through soft to medium rock up to 12,000 psi (827 bar) and cobble. The TriHawk IV drill bit is designed for use in heavy, overburdened cobble or fractured rock. The TriHawk V drill bit combines torque-edge steering with thrust-face steering for exceptional performance in round rock The Vari Temperature Gauge … keeps a cleansing shower absolutely perfect— temperature-wise. The Vari Temperature Gauge is a digital or analog water-temperature gauge that is installed in-line between the water-supply pipe and the shower head in residential, commercial and institutional bathrooms. It can be produced either as an analog dial or an easyread LED and can be mounted on (or molded into) the exterior surface. In the case of an easy-to-read LED, a waterproof battery compartment to power this display will be included. The Vari Temperature Gauge was invented by Peter Vari of Fullerton, CA. He said, “This device prevents and eliminates the trial and error guesswork everyone engages in when trying to calibrate the shower water temperature. It eliminates the discomfort we feel when it is too hot (often while trying to bail out). It will prevent accidental scaling and over time will save money on the water bill by reducing time spent trying to get the temperature just right. It is easy to install without the need of tools and works equally well in homes, schools, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities such as hotels and motels. To view a graphic of the Vari Temperature Gauge, along with complete information on design features, advantages, benefits, target markets and distribution channels, please see the attached brochure.

Camelback Rd, Suite 230, Phoenix, AZ 85016.6 cobble, flat river stone, hardpan and loose fill. For enhanced durability, all TriHawk bits are reinforced with ample amounts of strategically placed carbide grit. Also available are the dirt bit adaptor and the Hawkeye™ quick connect system. These are designed to enhance the performance of TriHawk downhole tools. With the economical Ditch Witch dirt bit adaptor, customers can quickly and easily convert their TriHawk HD housing into a dirt drilling system. The dirt bit adaptor enables operators to drill in all soil conditions, and it is available in both Ditch Witch and Vermeer plate bit bolt patterns. The Hawkeye quick connect system was developed specifically for today’s more-powerful directional drilling rigs, which have much greater torque and pullback than their predecessors. Hawkeye’s patented wear-compensating design improves directional drilling steering control and tool life. Hawkeye adaptors are designed to simplify tooling upgrades to most directional drilling brands. Also available through Ditch Witch dealerships are factory-rebuilt programs for TriHawk tooling and housings. To reinforce the strength and durability of each remanufactured bit, temperatures are carefully controlled and a critical material blend is applied during each step of the rebuild pro- cess.

Conveniently located at 802 Scott Nixon Memorial Dr. in Page 10A Georgia Plumbing News - October 31st, 2011 With INNOVEX™ Technology Wholesalers Can Sell It and Forget It Aqua Glass introduces new technology, material for bathing systems Aqua Glass has launched a new technology that makes bathing systems stronger, lighter and easier to install. “Aqua Glass acrylic with INNOVEX ™ technology is perhaps the most impressive material innovation in the bathing industry in 40 years,” said Chris Yankowich, president of the Moorestown, NJ-based Aqua Glass brand, a division of Masco Corporation. “The units are as attractive as they are functional. They are designed to resist damage during transit, storage and installation. They have more shelving and bigger bathing wells. And they’re priced below our current acrylic systems. INNOVEX technology gives wholesalers an attractive and robust alternative to traditional bathing systems.” INNOVEX technology is both a new technology and a new material. It is a patentpending combination of a microcellular core with a rigid, smooth polyurethane backing. When fused with a thick acrylic surface, the application creates a strong and damage-resistant material that is easier to trans- port, install and maintain. INNOVEX technology is also the first bathing product to be certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and the only one to meet its more stringent children and schools criteria. It is also a more robust unit. Wholesalers and distributors can sell an with INNOVEX technology product and forget it. Unlike other materials INNOVEX technology units arrive intact at the warehouse, showroom or jobsite. The material has a higher tolerance for rough handling to resist damaged during transit, storage or installation. Nor should its durable acrylic surface discolor if stored outside. The bathing systems are level and lighter than gelcoat units so distributors can stack them in the warehouse. Customers will appreciate the spacious, contemporary design, with its rounded corners, generous shelving and extra interior space. The high-luster acrylic surface is lighter, durable and thicker than current gelcoat surfaces. The one-piece systems install quickly. The unit fits in a standard 60" by 32" alcove and arrives in one piece, eliminating the need to square individual pieces and reducing the time needed to caulk. That in turn greatly reduces the chance of leaks and makes cleaning the unit simple, since there are fewer seams to accumulate soap scum and mold. The factory-leveled base doesn’t require a lot of shimming and the material can flex to accommodate slightly out-of-plumb pockets. The smooth polyurethane backing doesn’t contain fiberglass irritants so gloves and long sleeves are not required when handling. The acrylic surface also resists fracture. Direct-tostud application with robust pre-notched flanges means a secure installation, and screw guides built into the flanges reduce the risk of cracks and breakage. The first production unit is a 60"x 32" one-piece tubshower design that fits a standard 60" bypass bathtub door. Both left- and righthand drains are offered. The unit will be followed by four additional products: 60"x36" tub shower, 36" shower, 48" shower and a 60" shower. The units come with a limited 10-year warranty for residential applications and CONTINUED on PAGE 13A Georgia Plumbing News - October 31st, 2011 Scenes from the PDI Golf Tournament Lance Ware, Randal Lowe and Jeff Oeschger Matt DiGiovanni, Dan Cullen and Ronnie Sheene Mike Donohue, Kevin Gilbert, Cary Bailey, Vinnie Roidan Team Stasco ASSE and ASPE to Develop Plumbing Dictionary The American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) and the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the two global leaders serving the sanitary and plumbing engineering professions, have agreed to work together to develop a joint plumbing dictionary.

Steve Mastley ASPE VP Legislative Last weeks Symposium in Orlando was yet another ASPE event that exceeded expectations for quality of technical seminars in an atmosphere conducive to learning, networking and opportunities to promote the Atlanta Chapter among our peers. Hats off to the Central Florida Chapter for hosting a great event. 2.5 days of Technical Seminars, a Product Show and Committee meetings made the time fly by. Thanks to all of the manufacturers who sponsored this event at every level. Without their support the quality of the experience would be greatly diminished. Kudos to the Atlanta Chapter for stepping up and contributing at the Silver Sponsor level. Congratulations to Joseph Messina and Ovidiu Muresan for the great job they did as presenters for two of the technical seminars. I did get a chance to spend some time at the Mouse House and thoroughly enjoyed seeing old friends who I only get to see once a year.

They are America’s leader in the art of retrofitting any commercial “Vitreous China” wall mounted toilet with a support that enables any obese person up to 1000 pounds to use the supported toilet without fear of it breaking or coming off the wall and causing a great deal of embarrassment, and/or possible injury. For this reason alone, the Healthcare and Commercial property industries are now able to invest toward the prevention of such high Patient/Public Safety liability pay-offs, keeping Healthcare costs to a minimum. BARIndustries manufacture their toilet supports to fit all wall mounted toilets of all major plumbing fixture companies.

We had a pretty good turn out and from a vendor perspective it was wonderful to see so many engineers attend the Product Show. Our chapter is also proud to boast that Ovi Muresan and Joe Messina were presenters at the Symposium. Speaking of special ASPE events, our own Atlanta Chapter has a Product Show coming up this summer (June 2012) that we are looking for some well versed ASPE members to join our committee. If you have interested, please contact Mandy Odom on the Atlanta Board. The membership front continues to be challenging, Bud Malstrom, Director of Operations Glenn Wright, CEO mands the wall mounted toilet bowls to hold a 350 pound person without breaking off the iron “carrier”. These “carriers” which are inside the wall, and which themselves are only rated for 300 pounds are right now a major liability to commercial property owners. Thanks to our “SK1000” Wall Mounted Toilet Supports, the liability issue is eliminated. There is no longer a lack of toilet support available to Hospitals, High Rise Commercial Buildings, County, State, and Federal Government Buildings, Professional Sports Stadiums, and almost all Healthcare Facilities. We at BARIndustries believe that obesity is soon to be the “Major Epidemic” in America and we are trying to help keep the “growing” public safe and risk free and “support” them the best way we know. Don’t be found ADA negligent! Order yours today! For further information on BARIndustries, please contact them at 770-8779020.6 just when the excitement builds and we have added some new members to our organization, we have unfortunately lost a few as well. As an ASPE member, I encourage you to be very responsive to the emails and phone calls that our membership committee makes. Both the Atlanta Chapter and Society are reaching out before your membership lapses to understand your pending intentions. We would love to retain 100% of our members, but especially if you have a reason for leaving Society, please share that with us. This Society would not exist without its membership and we are the life blood of our organization. Please help us remain relevant and communicate with us. As mentioned we brought about four members into the fold in September, but October was challenging. We did have one member join our chapter from previously being in the Las Vegas Chapter.

Technical Jim Allen V.P. Technical I just got in from the 2 011 A S P E Te c h n i c a l Symposium in Orlando. It was a great experience, as those who attended and our contest winners will testify. I learned quite a bit, including some interesting facts on plumbing in zero g. That’s right, plumbing in space. I took a NASA plumbing technical seminar led by Dr. Patrick Simpkins, Director of Engineering at the Kennedy Space Center. Did you know in zero g, that a burp is the same as throwing up? In space, there is no gravity to separate your food and gases, so it comes out a mixed bag! After engineers found that out, they realized they had to remove all air and gas from foods, water, and beverages. I also found a toilet that costs a little more than a Kardashian wedding and will last a little longer too. The space shuttle toilet is equipped with a centrifuge, vacuum, thigh restraints, and other paraphernalia. You even have to take training to make sure you have the proper positioning. There is a trainer toilet with a docking camera and monitor so you can practice your positioning. To quote Dr. Simpkins, “the positioning and seal is critical!” To see the training video go to Youtube.com and search for “Shuttle’s Toilet Requires Special Training”. Another interesting fact is that the space shuttle is basically a couple of big plumbing systems made in the shape of a spacecraft. No joke! It is all one big plumbing project from water and refrigeration piping to the fuel gas systems that propel the spacecraft. If you ever get a chance to take a seminar on this subject, it will change your paradigm when it comes to plumbing. I wonder if I can pick up that space toilet on eBay or Craigslist now that the shuttle program is complete….I could do a head to head competition with that and a Numi, no pun intended! In other toilet related news, TOTO has a toilet motorcycle that runs on, well, bio gas and is on a tour around Japan right now. Closer to home, in Washington D.C., the GSA building reported two exploding toilets.

Congratulations to Colleen Bitterman and Mike Fox who were the winners of our Technical Symposium contest giveaway drawing. As this article is being written, we are just arriving back from Orlando. There were at least 13 members from the Atlanta Chapter in attendance that I am aware of. Some great seminars took place including a topic about plumbing the space shuttle. I guess if you attended that seminar you learned how to drink your own pee. I especially liked the round table discussion during lunch on Friday. We had some great discussions about hot water balancing and water free urinals. On the Atlanta Chapter side, we received a Certificate of Appreciation plaque for being a Silver Sponsor of the Symposium. The Atlanta Chapter also received the Membership Retention Award and the Chapter Award of Merit. There is a lot of work that goes into the Award of Merit and on behalf of the Board; I would like to thank all of our members who contribute this award. Also, our own Joseph Messina received a Certificate of Appreciation for his contributions to ASPE.

Owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by Nielsen Expositions, KBIS brings together nearly 20,000 of the industry's top dealers, designers, builders, remodelers, retailers, and other professionals directly involved in the design and remodel of residential kitchens and bathrooms. There will be no impact to hotel rates or availability, and the NKBA and Nielsen do not anticipate any impact on the number of attendees or exhibitors at KBIS based on the date shift. In fact, many KBIS exhibitors have already pointed out that they prefer this new date pattern during the week versus the weekend. Additionally, Candice Olson has already confirmed that she is able to serve as the KBIS 2012 opening key- note speaker on the new opening day of the show on April 24. The National Kitchen & Bath Association and Nielsen Expositions will continue to promote these new show dates to ensure that all potential attendees, exhibitors, media, and partners are aware that KBIS 2012 will now take place from April 24 to 26, 2012. The NKBA and Nielsen have also ensured that KBIS does not conflict with other national or international industry events. Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer and 2011 NKBA President David Alderman, CMKBD, said, "In the face of Chicago's sudden need to alter the city's entire schedule of spring events due to the scheduling of the G8 and NATO summits, I'm very happy that we were able to secure show dates so close to the original schedule and maintain the show's hotel blocks and discounted pricing." Jim Scott, show managing director, said, "Chicago is a world-class city, and on behalf of KBIS and the NKBA, we're excited to see it showcased on the international po- litical stage. We're happy to be back in Chicago after our well-attended 2011 show. KBIS will again offer our attendees and exhibitors maximized ROI, exposure and networking, and ultimately the best show experience." Attendees can look forward to the KBIS 2012 trade show floor featuring the newest and most innovative kitchen and bath products from 500 global manufacturers. KBIS will offer a full conference program led by top industry change-makers, as well as play host to vital networking opportunities. The KBIS and NKBA teams have conducted a full lodging review, and hospitality options remain fully open and space has been secured around the new 2012 dates. They also have secured the commitment of Chicago and the convention bureau to maintain exhibitor moving costs at the level they would have been if the original dates were maintained. The McCormick Place reforms to lower labor costs make the 2012 show even more attractive for exhibiting manufacturers. Looking forward to the future of the show, Scott said, "We are also excited by the opportunity to make Chicago the home for KBIS in 2014. We will be making changes in KBIS to more fully incorporate a Chicago-wide experience in the future, extending the value of attending KBIS beyond the actual three days of this year's event." Media and attendee registration for KBIS will be open in January 2012 at www. kbis.com. Owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by Nielsen Expositions, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) is the world's largest international trade show event dedicated to its industry. 6 Bosch Tankless is First to Acheive New Ultra Low NOx Requirement Bosch Thermotechnology North America, a leading provider of energy efficient water heaters, heating and air conditioning comfort systems as well as high quality solar thermal systems for commercial and residential use, has achieved an industry first in the tankless water heater category by offering a condensing product line that meets new Ultra Low NOx requirements ahead of a mandated 2012 date for the marketplace. Bosch Therm tankless models C 1210 ESC, C 1210 ES, C1050 ES and C 950 ES are currently the only condensing tankless product series on the market that meets the new, more strict, NOx requirements passed by utility regulatory agencies in California and Vermont. Effective 2012, the new regulations require water-heating units to limit noxious gas displacement in the heating process to less than 14 ng of NOx per joule of energy consumed. The line meets this requirement, thanks to a combination of precision Bosch engineering and proactive planning. The Bosch Therm units use a unique design that produces a lower flame temperature from the burner, and a wide flame pattern versus a segmented burner assembly and diluted air used in the heating process. Combined with condensing technology, which captures exhaust gases to preheat incoming cold water, these models offer an attractive tankless water heating option that meets future code requirements today while offering optimal efficiency.6 Georgia Plumbing News - October 31st, 2011 Page 15B Page 16B Georgia Plumbing News - October 31st, 2011 Page 2 Georgia Plumbing News: 2012 Industry Source Book Georgia Plumbing News: 2012 Industry Source Book Page 3 www.theplumbingnews.com 2012 Professional Industry Source Book Table of Contents Distributors & Wholesalers by Branch page 4 Georgia State Map -------------------------- page 5 Manufacturers Representatives ------- page 29 Plumbing Organizations & Services -- page 46 Distributors & Wholesalers ------------- page 6 Index of Advertisers ABPA -----------------------------------------Apex Supply ---------------------------------Archer Services ----------------------------ASPE ------------------------------------------Bari Industries -----------------------------Bradford White -----------------------------Cowan Supply -------------------------------Cregger ---------------------------------------E & E -----------------------------------------Ferguson -------------------------------------Georgia Power ------------------------------Georgia Power ------------------------------Harry Warren -------------------------------HD Supply -----------------------------------Hodesco --------------------------------------Hughes Supply -----------------------------John Guest -----------------------------------KBI --------------------------------------------Liberty Pumps ------------------------------McKee Nix -----------------------------------Medipex --------------------------------------- page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page page 36 48 38 34 21 31 7 8 7 11 20 40 41 9 30 13 42 10 12 15 44 Merbaum, David ---------------------------Moen ------------------------------------------Normac ---------------------------------------Oasis ------------------------------------------Oatey ------------------------------------------PDI --------------------------------------------Peachtree Metal & Specialty Products Peacock Sales -------------------------------PMA of Georgia ----------------------------Pulley & Associates ------------------------Repco Sales ----------------------------------Rheem ----------------------------------------RSB Equity ----------------------------------Southern Pipe & Supply ------------------Viega ------------------------------------------W.A.
