♿ ADA ✅ Certifications 💧 Low-Flow Options 🔌 Battery / Hardwired 🧰 Service Access 🛡️ Vandal-Resistant
Download BIM / Revit Copy Spec (RFP/SOP) Support & Services
Typical spec baseline: 0.35–0.5 gpm options • IR sensing • commercial-grade brass/SS builds • hardwired preferred for peak-use zones • battery backup where needed

Core KPIs (Spec-Friendly Targets)

Sensor Response
Fast and consistent
Target: stable activation without false triggers
Add to Spec: Consistent activation range and response
Peak Cycles / Sink
High traffic ready
Airports and stadiums require higher daily cycles
Add to Spec: Commercial-duty high-cycle rating
Power Strategy
Hardwired preferred
Battery where wiring is limited or as backup
Add to Spec: AC primary or approved hardwire kit
Downtime Risk
Low
Serviceable solenoids, filters, and sensor access
Add to Spec: Field-serviceable components
Water Savings
Meaningful
Specify low-flow options where appropriate
Add to Spec: Low-flow aerator/laminar options
Commissioning Rhythm
Quarterly
Filter checks, sensor tune, and flow verification
Add to SOP: Quarterly commissioning checklist

How to Use

  • Specs: Copy KPI targets into RFPs and submittal requirements.
  • Install: Use commissioning checkpoints for sensor range, flow, and power validation.
  • Operate: Schedule quarterly checks for filters, aerators, and sensor tuning to reduce call-backs.

Commercial Touchless — Topics & Guidance

Hardware Durability

  • Commercial-grade construction and finish options for daily heavy use.
  • Vandal-resistant mounting where needed (schools, transit, stadiums).
  • Plan service access for filters, solenoids, and sensor modules.

Power & Rough-In

  • Hardwired power for peak-use zones when possible.
  • Battery for locations with limited wiring or as backup strategy.
  • Coordinate conduits, control boxes, and access panels early.

Water & Flow Control

  • Select flow rate based on facility type and conservation goals.
  • Use laminar flow where splash control matters.
  • Specify inline strainers and plan routine cleaning intervals.

Install & Commission

  • Verify sensor range and detection window during commissioning.
  • Confirm shutoff timing, flow performance, and splash control.
  • Document settings for turnover and future service calls.

Wall-Mount Sensor Faucets

Ideal for vandal-resistance and easier deck cleaning. Common pick for schools, transit, and high-traffic restrooms.

Field-Ready Spec Copy (Paste into RFP / SOP)

Item Specification
System Type Commercial touchless sensor faucet with serviceable solenoid and accessible filter/strainer.
Sensor & Control Infrared sensor activation with stable detection window; adjustable run time where available.
Hydraulics Low-flow options per project requirements; specify laminar flow for splash control where needed.
Protection Inline strainer or filter access; check valves as required by local codes; debris protection for solenoid.
Power Hardwired preferred for high-cycle zones; battery acceptable where wiring is limited or as backup strategy.
Accessibility Specify for accessible operation with appropriate mounting heights and clearances; reference ADA-focused options.
Maintenance Quarterly commissioning checklist: sensor tune, aerator/laminar clean, filter check, flow verification.
KPI Targets Stable activation • low downtime risk • measurable water reduction via low-flow selection • predictable quarterly service rhythm.

Pilot → Fleet Rollout

Pilot

  • Deploy across representative restroom zones and usage patterns.
  • Log service events: clogs, sensor adjustments, power issues.
  • Finalize preferred flow rate and aerator/laminar selection.

Train & Validate

  • Use install and troubleshooting guides for tech and custodial teams.
  • Define quarterly checks and stock common spare parts.
  • Document settings and maintenance notes for turnover.

Scale

  • Standardize on a short list of models by zone type.
  • Keep spares for solenoids, sensors, and filters where applicable.
  • Repeat commissioning rhythm to keep uptime predictable.
