JUST ADD WATER: KOHLER INTRODUCES COMPLETE TOILET SOLUTION

As I’ve discussed several times, Kohler has introduced the “Complete Toilet Solution” a simplified packaging offers greater convenience and easier warehouse storage for wholesalers, plumbers and building contractors.

Specifying and ordering plumbing products can be cumbersome for consumers, and these tasks have never been a favorite past time of plumbers or distributors either. In an effort to address this tedious process and bring convenience to all its customers, Kohler Co. – a global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology – reinforces its position as the global leader in performance toilets with the introduction of The Complete Solution™ for several of its most popular two-piece toilets.

The Complete Solution virtually eliminates the need to specify separate model numbers for the toilet tankThe fixture reservoir for flushing water. On a conventional toilet, the ballcockThe mechanism that controls the flow of water into a gravity-operated toilet tank. The ballcock is controlled by the float mechanism floating in the water in the tank. When the toilet is flushed, the float drops and opens the ballcock, allowing water to enter the tank and/or bowlA water-containing receptor that receives liquid and solid body waste; two general bowl classifications are round-front and elongated.. The float rises as the water level in the tank is restored, and shuts off the ballcock when the tank is completely filled. Also referred to as a float valve., flush valve and trip lever are installed in the tank. A tank lid closes the top tank opening., bowl and seat when ordering a KOHLER toilet. Each Complete Solution features a two-piece toiletA toilet with a separate tank and bowl. Also referred to as "close-coupledA term for a toilet with a separate tank and bowl, secured to each other, and with a separate tank cover. Also referred to as a two-piece toilet.". (tank and bowl), seat, wax ring and floor hardware – all packaged conveniently together in one box with just one model number to order.

“Contractors will appreciate the convenience of Complete Solution toilets,” says Ed Del Grande, triple master plumber and host of “Ed the Plumber” on the DIY Network. “Having all the toilet components – including the wax seal, closet bolts and seat – in one place makes picking up products from the warehouse easier and eliminates time-consuming trips back for forgotten parts.”

Trade professionals and homeowners alike will benefit from the streamlined convenience that The Complete Solution toilets from Kohler have to offer. As one packaging box that fits easily on shelving units, Complete Solution toilets reduce storage issues that arise with having to stock multiple boxes with individually packaged toilet components. Additionally, this “one-stop” program facilitates easy ordering and efficient SKU inventory reduction and management.

The Complete Solution is currently available on four popular KOHLER toilet models, with plans to expand in the near future.
