ROVC, here's some posts from RB, bought today, this could be real nice. If you are so positive that there is no manufacturing going on then explain how NIBCO is making and selling TruConnect, their fastest growing new line. It was the star of the Chem Show in New York last fall. I have visited the plant in Rochdale, seen the equipment and the boxes of "rings" that were marked for NIBCO and other companies, but mostly for NIBCO. Also,they have a field test site for brass/copper that has been in place at a housing development in San Diego, it will be 3 years soon---no failures. I'm sure you can either call NIBCO in Elkhart or at least figure out how to get to their site, www.nibco.com. See my post #120 if you need help navigating the site. It really is not constructive to harp on things in the past or in the present about which you know almost nothing. You don't want to sound like an old, bitter, person. If you can buy a TruConnect device and play with it yourself. You will be converted. Read what NIBCO states about labor savings, 93%, not bad for a plumber or technician costing >$25/hr. Regards. VDM Received phone call today from Ray Shea stating that there is currently production of rings and other components of the True Connect system in Rovacs manufacturing center. Also there is pending news. NIBCO,Licensee for Plastic Go to www.nibco.com clk> New Products clk> TruConnect, which is NIBCO's trademark for CinchLock (reg.)the name for the technology, also there is a CinchFree (TM) which is the unlocking tool for disconnecting. i would hope that the compressor wars are long behind, how many years ago? The NIBCO people have only been licensed for plastic material, and only for the Air compression market, though worldwide. NIBCO is a very large company, but owned by a family in Elkhart, IN. They are active in irrigation, which would be the next logical market for them to license. Much repiping in irrigation and since CinchLock has no threading, cementing, brazing, welding or soldering it would seem just push and lock, use the CinchFree tool to unlock. I think we are just about to the point where things are going to move. They have contacted a consultant in whom i have confidence, through dealings with him on deals for JMAR and ADAC, for business plan help, strategy etc. Ciao. VDM
