Comments
Toilets
Flush-valve toilets are typically used in commercial applications because they offer durability
and less maintenance compared to gravity tank toilet fixtures.
Devices sensing motion (ultrasound) and heat (infrared) and timers eliminate handling of
fixture controls, improve hygiene.
Urinals
1.0 gpf
Waterless urinals provide first-cost savings (e.g., eliminating the need to provide a water line
and flush valve) and less maintenance (e.g., leaks, valve repairs, water overflows, etc.) over
conventional urinals. Waterless urinals require the use and periodic replacement of a strainer
cartridge and sealant fluid.
Shower
heads
Metering shower systems are typically used for high-use applications such as health clubs.
Faucets
2.5 gpm
Metering and self-closing faucets (faucets that automatically shut off after a certain period of
time or when the user moves away) provide water savings by preventing faucets from being
left on (or not completely shut off) and preventing overuse.
Microprocessor-controlled sensor (motion or infrared-sensing devices) valves can be custom
programmed to stay on for predefined lengths of time for water conserving needs.
Sensor-operated faucets improve hygiene, and save water. Sensor control devices are
usually battery-operated
