Waste Line Dimensions: Specifies the size of the waste line.
Fitting Type: (L) Left, (R) Right, or (D) Double.
Options: Suffixes denote variations like auxiliary support (-A), corrosion resistance (-CC), EZ-Set Coupling (-CE), floor mounting (-F), galvanized finish (-G), vandal-proof trim (-VP), etc.

Materials and Finishes

Zurn utilizes various high-quality materials for its carrier systems:

Cast Iron: Conforms to ASTM A48, Class 25, offering strength and corrosion resistance.
Duresist (Ductile Iron): Complies with ASTM A536, Grade 60-45-10, providing superior strength, ductility, and shock resistance for heavy-duty applications.
Zurn Dura Coat: A latex-based coating for cast iron, resistant to cracking and chipping.
Galvanized Cast Iron: Zinc-coated for increased longevity and corrosion resistance, recommended for coastal and industrial areas.
Cadmium Plated Cast Iron: Cadmium-coated for enhanced longevity and corrosion resistance.
Bronze and Nickel Bronze: Used for aesthetic appeal and durability, with options for satin sheen or polished finishes. Nickel bronze offers superior strength and wear resistance.
Chrome Plated Bronze: Ideal for decorative finishes in areas without significant abrasion, and highly resistant to halogens in swimming pools.
Aluminum: Casting grade 319, lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, suitable for drain components.
Stainless Steel: Type CF8 (304) and CF8M (316) for excellent corrosion resistance.
A.R.C. (Acid Resisting Epoxy Coating): Baked-on powder coating for a durable, high-gloss finish.
A.R.E. (Acid Resisting Porcelain Enamel): Vitreous coating bonded at high temperatures, offering excellent acid, abrasion, and wear resistance.

A comparison of properties between basic ductile iron and cast iron is provided, highlighting tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and modules of elasticity.

High Efficiency Toilet and Carrier System

Zurn offers an integrated solution combining a 1.1 gpf wall bowl with a high-efficiency carrier, resulting in significant water savings (31% over 1.6 gpf systems) and improved line carry performance.
