Why We Recommend Sloan Flushometers (And Why You Should Care Where They’re Made)
Let’s be honest—flushometers aren’t exactly the most exciting thing to talk about. But if you’ve ever been in charge of keeping a commercial restroom running smoothly, you know just how important they are. And when it comes to flushometers that actually hold up, Sloan is one of the names we trust most.
At My Georgia Plumber, we install a lot of these. So today, we’re taking a quick look at why Sloan’s manual flushometers—especially their U.S.-made options—are worth your attention.
First Off: What’s a Flushometer?
It’s the part that handles the flush in commercial toilets and urinals—usually found in public restrooms. Unlike the tank-and-handle setup you see at home, a flushometer uses direct water pressure to push everything through. No tank, no waiting for it to refill. It’s efficient, reliable, and built for high traffic.
Why Sloan?
Sloan’s been in the game for over a century, and it shows. Their manual flushometers are built with long-term durability in mind, and they’re proudly made in the U.S. That means solid construction, fewer repairs, and parts that are easy to get when you need them.
They offer both diaphragm and piston models, with exposed or concealed setups—so you’ve got options whether you’re outfitting a school, restaurant, office building, or stadium restroom. Top spud, rear spud, dual-flush, single-flush… You name it, they’ve got it.
Not Just Built to Last—Built to Look Good
Sure, reliability comes first. But if you’re renovating or building new, it doesn’t hurt when your fixtures look sharp too. Sloan’s flushometers come in finishes like brushed stainless, polished chrome, graphite, and even polished brass. It’s a small detail, but it adds up when you’re going for a clean, modern look.
Made in the USA—And That Still Matters
This isn’t just about buying American for the sake of a label. Sloan’s U.S.-manufactured flushometers actually exceed the Buy American Act requirements, and that means something. When you buy from them, you’re supporting local jobs and getting a product that’s held to a high standard.
And let’s be real—fewer breakdowns, faster part replacements, and products that work how they’re supposed to? That’s a win for your maintenance budget.
More Than Just Flush Valves
If you’re outfitting a whole restroom, Sloan offers more than just flushometers. Their BAA-compliant lineup includes sensor faucets, sinks, hand dryers, pressure-assist toilets, and more. So if you want your commercial plumbing to be cohesive, durable, and hands-free where it matters, they’ve got you covered.
