I just wanted to add Zurn on here because you have other companies, like Kodak, etc. I didn't see anything wrong with that. Zurn is over a century old and is a reputable plumbing manufacturer. If you people want to exclude Zurn, fine. But if you do you have also destroyed my faith in Wikipedia, which I have promoted and shared with anyone who would listen to me.

If you have a problem with Zurn, why do you still have other companies listed on your site? Isn't that a little crooked to allow some and not others? I do not work for Zurn, but I do know of them quite a bit through my business here in Florida. My intent was merely to provide an informational article on the company. Why is this being done? Do you not have links to a company's website on other articles? I can list a few if you'd like.

I'm sorry but I just don't see how this is fair or right.

[edit] More information needed!

There's precious little information about Zurn as a corporation that I can find on the web, so this article is pretty severly anemic at this point. Stuff that would be good to have:

Names of members of the board of directors
What type of governance Zurn has, what type of corporation it is
Whether it's just a brand name or is a wholly owned subsidary of Jacuzzi
What products Zurn has manufactured, past and present (just the important ones)
Reference to the 'patented valve' mentioned
Where their corporate offices are located
What their products are used for; who their main customers are

There's lots of ways this article can be fleshed out, but I don't have the contacts. JKough, can you get any more information? --Stephen Deken 19:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I found Zurn's entry in the Pennsylvania Department of State's records on their website [1], but the record is unfortunately very sparse -- it does not even contain an initial incorporation date. I've also not been able to find the patent file in the USPTO for the backwater valve that Zurn originally manufactured. --Stephen Deken 20:26, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
