What Flushmate does
Flushmate LLC is a US-based manufacturer of pressure-assisted toilet flushing systems, headquartered in New Hudson, Michigan, and operating as a division of Sloan Valve Company. The company designs and produces injection-molded sealed-vessel flushing mechanisms that use compressed air rather than gravity to generate flush force, with a product portfolio spanning four core series differentiated by flush volume: the 503UH (0.75 gpf ultra-high efficiency), the 504 Series (1.0 gpf), the 503H Series (1.28 gpf high-efficiency), and the 503 Series (1.6 gpf). All products are assembled in the USA and carry a 5-year limited warranty. The company also sells complementary upgrade kits, universal handle kits, and the I-Flush touchless electronic sensor accessory that enables hands-free retrofit of existing Flushmate units.
Flushmate generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of complete pressure-assist systems to OEM toilet manufacturers, replacement parts distributed through authorized resellers, and retrofit/upgrade kits to commercial and residential end users. The company's products are integrated into toilet lines from major OEMs including Sloan, KOHLER, Gerber, Mansfield, Contrac, Western Pottery, American Standard, Crane, and Eljer. Distribution is exclusively through an authorized partner network governed by an eCommerce Reseller Policy effective July 1, 2025, with minimum order value of $150 net, Net 30 payment terms, and a 2% early-payment discount. Direct sales support is provided via a toll-free customer line (800.533.3460).
The company serves two primary verticals: commercial/hospitality (hotels and high-traffic restrooms requiring reliable, low-maintenance flushing performance, with Aloft Hotel and Sleep Inn & Suites cited as case study references) and residential (water-conscious consumers seeking high-efficiency flushing). The website, product resources, and "Where to Buy" locator target plumbing professionals, contractors, and facility managers rather than direct consumer e-commerce. Flushmate's operating geography is the United States only, per its privacy policy, and the company carries a long-standing product recall from 2016 (expanded) on Flushmate III 503 Series systems manufactured between 1997 and 2011 due to vessel weld seam bursting risk.

Flushmate competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sloan Valve Company: Parent company of Flushmate and a leading manufacturer of commercial plumbing fixtures, valves, and restroom systems. Directly comparable because it owns Flushmate, shares the same commercial-hospitality customer base, and is expanding into adjacent smart restroom and touchless product lines.
- KOHLER Co. Major global toilet OEM that specifies Flushmate systems in select product lines and competes across the broader residential and commercial toilet market. Comparable as both a Flushmate OEM customer and a broad-based plumbing-fixtures incumbent whose strategy directly affects Flushmate's specification status.
- TOTO USA: Leading manufacturer of high-efficiency and bidet-equipped toilets, including pressure-assist and gravity-fed dual-flush products. Comparable as a direct competitive force in the high-performance commercial and residential toilet category where Flushmate competes on efficiency and flush power.
- American Standard Brands: Major U.S. toilet OEM with both residential and commercial lines that has installed Flushmate pressure-assist systems historically. Comparable as a Flushmate OEM partner and broad plumbing-fixtures incumbent competing for the same commercial-hotel specifications.
Direct peers
- Fluidmaster: Manufacturer of toilet tank components, fill valves, flush valves, and repair parts sold through plumbing wholesalers. Directly comparable as a component-level supplier of internal toilet mechanisms that addresses many of the same OEM and replacement-parts channels as Flushmate.
- Mansfield Plumbing Products: Toilet OEM that incorporates Flushmate pressure-assist systems and competes in residential and light-commercial channels. Comparable as both an OEM Flushmate partner and a competing toilet brand pursuing the same distributor and plumbing-contractor relationships.
- Gerber Plumbing Fixtures: Residential and commercial toilet manufacturer that installs Flushmate pressure-assist systems in its product lines. Comparable as an OEM partner and competing toilet brand in mid-market commercial and residential specification work.
Emerging players
- Niagara Conservation: Manufacturer of ultra-low-flow toilets (0.8 gpf and below) and water-saving plumbing products. Comparable as a competing ultra-high-efficiency toilet maker whose specification wins in code-driven markets directly threaten Flushmate's 503UH positioning.
Others
- Sloan / Royality Brands / Touchless Flush Valve makers (e.g., Sloan CX series): Commercial flush-valve and touchless restroom fittings lines sold through the same plumbing-wholesaler channel that Flushmate relies on. Comparable as channel-adjacent competitors and ecosystem participants serving the same commercial-hygiene specification cycle.
Regional players
- Woodbridge Bath: Direct-to-consumer focused U.S. toilet and bath fixture brand emphasizing comfort and efficiency. Comparable as a competing consumer toilet brand pressing Flushmate's OEM partners on price and feature differentiation, particularly in online and replacement channels.
