“Our research shows that ‘Overflowbia,’ or the fear of a toilet overflow, is very real – particularly among those who have experienced it firsthand,” explains Barry Jacobs, SVP of Product Development at FGI Industries. “Flush Guard’s^™ anti-overflow drain system represents the next major innovation in toilets…one that brings with it a sense of emotional relief. With Flush Guard^™, consumers can literally ‘go in peace.’”

Flush Guard^™ Anti-Overflow Toilets feature one of the most powerful flushes on the market, making them difficult to clog in the first place. But in the unlikely event that the main drain becomes clogged, the three anti-overflow holes in the bowl allow water to escape through a secondary drain. And that anti-overflow drain is self-cleaning with every flush.

Continuing the theme of stress reduction, Flush Guard^™ Toilets are stylish, high-quality, and easy to keep clean. Both the primary and secondary drains empty into a standard waste pipe and utilize standard fittings, so there’s no special installation or plumbing required, making them excellent as new construction and replacement toilets alike. When used as a replacement, a Flush Guard^™ Toilet completely covers the area of the old toilet thanks to the industry’s largest footprint. Any marks or tile discolorations are thereby hidden, eliminating the need for costly surface repairs.

“As North America’s largest and most comprehensive tradeshow dedicated to the kitchen and bath industry, we couldn’t imagine launching such a momentous leap forward in toilet technology in any other venue,” says Glen Paporello, VP of Marketing. “Attendees who stop by our KBIS booth #N1212 can see Flush Guard^™ Anti-Overflow Toilets in action – along with our new ‘Overflowbia’ launch campaign.”

Flush Guard^™ technology will initially be available to consumers on Craft + Main^® brand toilets online and in-store through authorized distributors as of April 2024.
