I am in the manufacturing trade. I am not a plumber. We make faucet stems, cartridges, tools, etc. here in the USA. I joined because I like to identify stems and cartridges and see what is changing, needed in the market. I am here to serve if I can. Most of you buy from my customers and I hope to enjoy the community from time to time and see what I can learn.

I understand that this is board is for plumbers. The plumber is our end user even if we do not sell direct to the plumber. If you feel I need to be banned because I am not a plumber, I understand. But I hope though that I can add value. I know a ton about plumbing parts, especially brass stems, cartridges and thermostatic valves. We also make tools like the ONA Puller, the Pasco EZ Out, etc.

Thank you for reading.

there should be a section for manufactures of plumbing and related items....and they can only post in that section or areas of what they sell..just as long as they dont make it a fukin commercial every time they post....
here would be a question..do you let a valid manufacture put a link to there company website for info????

There's a section for them and many rules that come with it. The link in Post #3 shows how they can proceed.

You have no idea how elated we are to have you.

We will need some tangible proof that you are who you say you are. You could send @Tango a private message with some pics of your factory as proof so he can confirm you're not bullschitting.

let the bloke stay , surely he will be fountain of knowledge as long as he does not advertise.

 

[bawalter]

This is definitely an exclusive site. My bad for not reading further in the begining. I have no desire to advertise (again - we don't sell retail) just to share knowledge. As far as bona fides, our website is in profile. I will lurk and only ask questions or make comments where it is appropriate.

@Tango has my (verified) email address which has our domain in it. There are pictures on the web. If there is something else to confirm, let me know.

We manufacture for wholesalers, repackagers and some OEMs nationwide and a few in Canada. We used to send parts to Mexico for PP back when B&D owned them. What a disaster that company has become.

B&D! I haven’t heard that company in decades! My Dad worked for them in the late ‘70s, if it’s the same company. I know it was a manufacturing company, of what, I don’t know.

Sorry if I was confusing. The PP I was talking about is Price Pfister (before they made the mistake of shortening it to Pfister) and the B&D was Black and Decker. They bought Price Pfister in the late 80's.

Here is an article about my grandfather in Domestic Engineering from 1955. My family has been involved with plumbing parts for a long time. I don't add this to brag but just to show some more bona fides.

Let's see being away for a while just to come back and moan about someone's comment. "whiner" fits the bill all right.
