Hygiene by Design
Touchless activation minimizes cross-contamination risks in high-traffic venues such as airports, healthcare, and education. Automatic shut-off prevents unintended running, supporting both hygiene and conservation goals.
Built for Heavy Use
Commercial-grade valve bodies, corrosion-resistant finishes (chrome, matte black, brushed nickel), and vandal-resistant features make these fixtures suitable for demanding public spaces.
Understanding Flow Performance
Many WaterSense-aligned sensor faucets target around 1.5 GPM or lower, achieving significant savings while maintaining comfortable rinsing performance. Verify aerator ratings and pressure-compensating components during specification.
Smart Controls & Power
Infrared sensors provide reliable detection, with battery or hardwired options. Adjustable time-outs and sensitivity profiles help tailor usage in restrooms with fluctuating traffic.
Tip: For healthcare and foodservice, consider laminar, non-aerated outlets to minimize aerosolization.
Specification Guidance for Architects & Engineers
- Specify conformity with ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1.
- Target Flow: ~1.5 GPM or below. Confirm pressure range and aerator type.
- Power Strategy: Battery packs for retrofit agility, hardwire for busy venues.
- Outlet Type: Laminar for healthcare; aerated for general public settings.
- Maintenance Access: Ensure solenoid/filter/mixer are serviceable without removing the entire assembly.
