In 1944 then Master Plumber William H. Harvey Sr. came up with the idea of a pre-formed wax gasket for setting toilet bowls. Nearly 70 years later, the Harvey® brand thrives in multiple plumbing categories such as solvent cements, heating chemicals, toilet bolts and still wax gaskets, selling throughout North and South America.
