Watch the 60 second video that was created by the television show Chronicle. Chronicle is a New England news magazine which airs at 7pm every night on ABC. This video provides an overview on Symmons and speaks to what we are trying to accomplish.
We were just advised this morning that the AXION launch video won a “Telly Award”! This prestigious communications award is given annually honoring the very best in film and video production. We won a bronze award in the category “Best How-To” instructional film for our depiction of the proper use of inverted eyewash streams to irrigate injured eyes.
Symmons sets the standard for safety in the shower
Everyone has experienced the unpleasant change of shower water temperature when somebody flushes a toilet or runs water elsewhere in the plumbing system. Current state and federal requirements for flow restricted showerheads compound the problem. With lower flow rates, the potential for scalding and thermal shock is greatly increased.
Symmons has teamed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense® program to help consumers save water for future generations and reduce costs on their utility bills. WaterSense labeled products use about 20% less water and perform as well or better than their less efficient counterparts.
BrassCraft® has quick and cost effective solutions for Special Finish applications. These finishes include Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass and Polished Nickel, as well as White and Stainless Steel finishes.
No special orders are required! Products are in stock and ready to ship at BrassCraft's various distribution centers.
Please contact your local sales manager for more information.

Haws has obtained Independent Test Lab verification that ALL of Haws Drinking Fountain products meet the new California AB1953 “Lead-Free” requirements.
Back in the late 1980’s, Haws did the right thing, and made the decision to go “Lead-Free” by making ALL of their Drinking Fountain products using a specially blended brass alloy that contained less than 0.0% Lead.
For twenty years ALL of Haws Drinking Fountain products have always met the strictest possible interpretation of California’s new AB1953 “Lead-Free” Legislation!

What is LEED®? As conservation and sustainability become more and more important to the construction and renovation industries, we at CHG keep getting questions about the leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™. Since we share such a similar vision of the power of conservation, it’s important that you know the facts about LEED.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.
Water is the most valuable natural resource in the world and the need for sustainable water strategies continues to emerge in building designs.
How do you achieve water savings, maintain performance expectations and reduce costs?
