Mark Vitow | Top-Fix
Mark Vitow Ltd is gearing up to showcase its Top-Fix waste installation solution at InstallerSHOW. The company says Top-Fix represents a paradigm shift in shower, bath, kitchen, and basin waste fitting with its unique top-down installation approach. The two-piece system drops into the waste hole from above, eliminating the complexities of awkward angles and the need to simultaneously hold parts in place from below. Once in position, the two main components are secured using a 14mm bolt, creating a robust watertight seal, without the need for silicone.
The recent launch of the shower and kitchen strainer wastes received significant interest, paving the way for the exclusive unveiling of basin and bath wastes at InstallerSHOW. Mark Vitow supplies Top-Fix to Plumbing and Heating Merchants nationwide.
