The Brain^® DRV25 Goes Public At ASPE 2018

Armstrong returns for its 14th consecutive appearance at the American Society of Plumbing Engineers Biennial Convention and Expo in Atlanta September 28th – October 3rd. The Armstrong exhibit will feature the official “go public” release of the highly anticipated and long-awaited The Brain^® DRV 25.

Representatives are always welcome to join us at the booth and a special exhibitor show rate is available for hotel bookings. View the at-a-glance schedule of the show. All of our exhibitor badges will be in use at the show, so representatives who plan to attend will need to make their own entrance arrangements directly with show management.

Please note that in case you miss the show, The Brain^® DRV25 ASPE content will be reprised at the Armstrong Fortress North America meeting. If you do plan to attend ASPE, please join us for dinner on Monday evening.

The Brain^® Model DRV25 will begin its reveal in the July issue of Plumbing Engineer with two advertisements. Ad #1 will be in our usual page 3 location with ad #2 appearing in the Manufacturers Spotlight section.
