Historical Facts of a Modern Plumbing Pioneer

1954: IPS developed the first solvent welding products for America's plumbing industry, establishing a new standard for drain, waste and vent systems. That makes us responsible for decades of success enjoyed by plastic pipe and fitting manufacturers.

1969: IPS introduced the first recessed plastic washing machine box which was so well received by the industry, it has been widely imitated by other manufacturers. It is, in some form, a standard fixture in virtually every home built in America today.

1978: IPS regained the industry's favor with the first recessed ice maker box. It too has been massively duplicated by other manufacturers.

1987: IPS introduced the first adjustable, multi-size residential roof vent flashings. It conveniently minimizes the roofer's inventory by eliminating the need for single sized roof flashings for each vent pipe diameter on the job.

1992: IPS in response to growing air quality concerns, was first to formulate a line of LOW VOC solvent welding products. While we are no longer alone in the LOW VOC market, our line is complete and preferred by professionals.

1995: IPS does it again...the labor saving attributes of "The Angle Stop Box" and "The Dimple" virtually eliminate the "stubbing out" process
