Gerber Plumbing Fixtures Corp. is offering training seminars that cover the key differences between gravity-fed and pressurized 1.6-gpf toilets. The seminars are attracting growing numbers of plumbers and wholesalers across the country.
"We average about 30 attendees per seminar, but some have drawn more than 100 people," said Ron Grabski, vice president/marketing. For example, back-to-back seminars held in late September in Florida drew more than 30 plumbers in Jacksonville and about 70 in Tampa; several wholesalers attended each event. The plumbers who attended also received two hours of credit toward a continuing education certificate.
