This macerating toilet is powerful yet quiet with a clean compact and modular appearance in both the round or elongated styles. It features the new CleanConnect™ seal system eliminating the unsightly rubber couplers generally used to connect the toilet to the macerator box. This allows the macerator to site closer to the toilet for a more appealing appearance. The Ascent II meets ADA comfort height standards, is ANSI 117.1 and the new 1.28 gallon per flush code compliancy requirements.
Horizontal or Vertical Piping
The Ascent II Macerating Toilet accommodates both horizontal and vertical pipe connections using the easily adjustable QuickFlip™ discharge and vent connectors. These connectors are PCV solvent wielt type with a 1” discharge and a 1-1/2” vent.
IST™ Intelligent Switch Technology
The Ascent II features solid state switch technology. These strategically placed sensors activate the pump and alarm eliminating the need for older style mechanical or diaphragm switches. The easily viewed LED panel displays power on, alarm condition, low battery as well as two quick touch options allowing override of the IST™ switch and to quickly silence the alarm.
Removable Service Panel
Quick easy access is available with the removable service panel located on the top cover. There are no tools required and no need to remove or adjust any plumbing attachments.
Cord Management

A macerating toilet is a unique modification of the standard toilet which shred flushed waste then pump it away through a small diameter pipe that ties into the main drain. Maceration allow for toilets to be installed in low water pressure areas or no gravity flow drainage.
The new Ascent II macerating toilet system features the Industry’s only 1.28 GPF high efficiency toilet for a macerating system. The new system features advanced RazorCutTM technology for improved maceration of waste and a removable service panel that provides quick access to the cutter area without disconnecting the plumbing.
To “macerate” is to soften and break into pieces. The Ascent II’s improved RazorCutTM system uses stainless steel blades are replaceable with heavy-duty utility knife blades. One of the previous challenges with macerating toilets was clogging and jamming. The advance run technology of the Ascent II prevents this by assuring the macerator blades are running prior to debris entering the cutter basket. The integrated IST switch technology ensures for complete flush-out of debris in the macerating area further reducing the potential of clogs or jams.
Now that we’ve reviewed what a macerating toilet is and how it works, our next blog will cover some of the features and benefits of our new product offering.
Is there always a battle in your home for access to the bathroom? Is there a room in your home that you’d love to turn into another washroom but you don’t want to tear up your floor or sub-floor? Unsure how to proceed without an accessible drain line?
If you’ve answered yes to the questions above, then B&A Manufacturing has the solution for you. Introducing the new Ascent II Macerating Toilet System. This amazing invention allows for the convenient addition of a bathroom that pumps waste into existing sewer lines in your home. No need for mass renovations and destruction.
The Ascent II Macerating Toilet System looks very much like a standard toilet requiring about the same amount of space. While a standard toilet will drain the flushed water into the drain in the floor, a macerating toilet carries it through a pump located behind the toilet. Once there, the system uses a macerating blade to liquefy the waste. The liquefied waste is then pumped through the discharge pipes.
Imagine the freedom! You can turn your attic into a complete living space, perhaps convert that “guy space” in your garage into a kingdom, or finally finish that basement you’ve been trying to turn into useable space. An added bonus of the Ascent II system is the additional lavatory and tub/shower connections giving you the option to completely renovate.
Come back soon to learn more about how the Ascent II Macerating Toilet System works and features and benefits of this system.

B&A Manufacturing is proud to present a new line of in-floor radiant heating products from a company with over thirty years of experience with pipes and fittings. GTGlobe Industries, a leader in manufacturing high quality PEX and radiant PEX tubing and fittings, is joining the group. Here’s a little more about this product.
Why PEX piping? An alternative to copper and CPVC piping, PEX tubing is cross-linked, high-density polyethylene, offering higher resistance to hundreds of corrosive chemicals. Which means a longer life for your piping system.
Radiant heating beats typical forced air systems. Radiant floor heating offers significant energy savings over the traditional system and higher efficiency since hot air won’t accumulate near the ceiling.
Wide range of operating temperatures. From -40 degrees C all the way up to 93 degrees C, the in-floor radiant heating systems continue to operate efficiently and effectively.
Flexible and easy to install. Compared to traditional piping, PEX is significantly more flexible, allowing installers to run the tubing in a continuous “S” shape (up to 92m) without the need for pipe fittings.
Need more information about in-floor radiant heating using this high quality tubing? Give us a call or shoot us an email and we’ll get you in touch with an expert who can help with your unique installation needs.
Wade Drains, a company established in Chicago, Illinois almost 150 years ago, joins B&A Manufacturing as a specialty drain provider. A division of Tyler Pipe, Wade offers plumbing contractor friendly products that are designed for the specification drainage market. Here’s a little more information about their products.
Wade offers backwater valves, cleanouts, closet and fixture carriers, floor drains, floor sinks, hydrants, interceptors, roof drains, trap primers, trench drains, and water hammer arrestors. And they strive to provide exactly the right product for every job.
The modern specification drainage product can be traced back to the beginning of the twentieth century when architects and engineers began demanding drains with secondary drainage, protecting the structural integrity and aesthetics of buildings. Wade Drains was an early proponent of that practice and continues to develop products that look as good as they perform.
For more information about this new product line, please contact us by email or give us a call so that we can connect you with one of our product experts.
