Frequently Asked Questions

What defines the Architect Series for design‑build projects?

The Architect Series is built around proportion—spout height, reach, and outlet selection are tuned for common basin geometries so the faucet reads intentional, not improvised. The forms are quietly modern to support a wide range of interiors, while the internals are spec‑grade (pressure‑compensated 0.35–0.5 gpm, IR/ToF sensors, dual‑power options). Documentation—BIM/Revit, CSI, cut sheets—arrives submittal‑ready to streamline approvals.

How do these faucets integrate with architectural finishes?

Finishes are executed in durable PVD (Brushed Gold, Matte Black, Brushed Nickel) and Chrome for maximum palette coverage. Edge radii, chamfers, and join lines are simplified to align with stone veining and metal hardware. Laminar outlet options help keep counters clean with shallow bowls common in boutique and civic projects.

Are sustainability and code requirements supported?

Yes. 0.35–0.5 gpm options help achieve indoor water‑use reduction targets and support LEED strategies. Models are designed to conform to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and lead‑free NSF/ANSI 61/372, and they pair with ASSE 1070 mixing for scald control. ADA/ICC A117.1 reach and clearance guidance is provided for planning.

What files and samples are available for specification?

Revit (.rfa), DWG, CSI 22 42 39, high‑res finish swatches, and warranty statements. Basis‑of‑design language and schedule templates can be provided to simplify alternates and VE conversations.

What is the typical commercial warranty?

Typical coverage: 5 years on body/finish, 3 years on electronics/sensors, and 1 year on power packs and accessories. Extended options are available for multi‑property rollouts and public projects; confirm project‑specific terms in submittals.
