About Gerber Plumbing
Gerber Plumbing Fixtures (Lincolnshire, Illinois — a subsidiary of Globe Union Industrial since 2007) has supplied US tract-builder bathrooms since 1932. Lines include Maxwell, Viper, Avalanche, Allerton, and Wicker Park. Gerber's niche is the entry-to-mid commercial spec range: 1.28 GPF or 1.6 GPF gravity toilets, ADA chair-height available throughout, and a parts supply chain that plumbers actually keep in their truck for flush-valve and fill-valve rebuilds.
