Speakman Expands Anti-Ligature Lineup

St. Louis, MO (September 24, 2024) – Speakman, a Marcone Plumbing company, announced today that it has launched a complete line of anti-ligature products for use in institutional and behavioral health facility settings, intended to boost shower safety among those in hospitals, prisons, nursing homes and other applications.

Speakman now offers anti-ligature showerheads in multiple flow rates, along with shower control trim, a shower panel and a sensor faucet in support of healthy environments for rehabilitation and care. These products are designed to minimize ligature points while still maximizing aesthetic value and delivery of quality function and water flow.

“Bathrooms present an area of risk for our institutional and behavioral health customers, so Speakman has responded by helping them mitigate those concerns with safer shower products,” said Tim Shearer, president of Marcone Plumbing. “We hope this new line of anti-ligature products, in partnership with community organizations and institutions, will make a difference for people facing an otherwise vulnerable time.”

Speakman is a longtime contributor to the plumbing industry, having pioneered the invention of the modern showerhead in 1927. Today, the company is among the Marcone family of brands, which represent some of North America’s largest distributors of parts and equipment for the appliance, HVAC, plumbing, commercial kitchen and pool and spa markets.

As it pursues innovation that focuses on performance and sustainability, Speakman produces a full line of well-designed, commercial-grade bath and shower products for the residential, commercial and hospitality markets, along with safety equipment including emergency showers and eyewashes for commercial use. Products are available through major plumbing wholesalers and online retailers. For more information, visit speakman.com.
