Carrier system
Metal building curbs
The HETC high-efficiency toilet and carrier system reduces energy losses as water transitions from the bowl to the drain piping, resulting in a long waste-carry distance. The system uses the EZCarry carrier system and EcoVantage 1.1 gpf ZTR sensor wall-bowl system.
A line of laser-cut, all-welded, insulated metal building curbs is custom designed to accommodate any rooftop equipment and to conform to any roof pitch. Curbs use #14 and #18 gauge AZ-55 Galvalume material. Built-in rib configuration, water-deflecting cricket, 3-in. attachment flanges, and rigid insulation are standard.
