About Plumberex Specialty Products, Inc.

Plumberex Specialty Products, Inc., located in Southern California, is the pioneer company that first patented an accessibility safety cover solution for under-lavatory piping. Since 1986, we started manufacturing the original and still highly successful brand “HANDY-SHIELD”, now known as the “HANDY-SHIELD MAXX”. In 2002 the company became the first to offer both a “Soft” and “Molded” accessibility safety cover for under-lavatory piping solution with the addition of the PRO-EXTREME brand.

A “New Gold Standard” (ASTM C-1822) was announced in January 2016 by the American Society for Testing and Materials for accessibility safety under-lavatory piping insulation. The new standard ASTM C-1822, “Standard Specification for Insulating Covers on Accessible Lavatory Piping,” now addresses Material and Product Performances on: Fire & Smoke Ratings, Thermal Performance, Sanitation Performance, Maintenance Functionalities, Product Construction, and Quality Assurances.

Plumberex Specialty Products, Inc. is now investing and leading a highly important focused and more concentrated BIM phase within the under-lavatory accessibility category. Today “technical harmonization” has been fully achieved between the Accessibility, Building, Plumbing, and Insulation Institutions. ASTM C-1822 has now resolved a volume of multi-dimensional complexities and technical requirements. Specifying Plumberex Specialty Products, Inc. ensures that all technical accessibility requirements and installations within the ADA under-lavatory category are met.
