HISTORY OF SLOAN VALVE

The inventor of the Flushometer and founder of Sloan Valve Company, William Elvis Sloan, was born in Liberty, Missouri.

Mr. Sloan then developed the idea for the Royal Flushometer with its revolutionary design and ingenious simplicity. The Royal is a diaphragm-type valve and was the original product of Sloan Valve Company when it started in business in 1906. It is still the best-selling Flushometer in the Sloan line (literally millions are in use throughout the world). While there have been many refinements and improvements in component parts over the years, the working principle and fundamental hydraulic design have not changed.

Sloan is committed to spend the next 100 years of its industry leadership to transform water use in this country and around the world. Sloan begins this effort focused on those same fundamentals that have led to its first 100 years of success: revolutionary designs, an uncompromising commitment to quality, and a devotion to serving its customers.
