Chicago Faucets has announced updates that reduce the maximum flow rate of its standard HyTronic and E-Tronic 40 series electronic sensor faucets. An optional 1.5 gallons-per-minute (GPM) flow rate insert will be included with these fittings, replacing the 2.2 GPM insert previously provided. The majority of plumbing fittings in both product families come with a water-saving 0.5 GPM outlet pre-installed as standard equipment.
Standard flow rates for the HyTronic and E-Tronic 40 product families are:
- Standard HyTronic/E-Tronic 40 faucets – 0.5 GPM outlet standard/1.5 GPM insert included
- Low-Flow HyTronic/E-Tronic 40 faucets (models ending in .4) – 0.35 GPM outlet standard/1.5 GPM insert included
- Flow Control (no outlet) – 1.5 GPM flow control standard
- HyTronic Patient Care Application (PCA) faucets – various flow rates, no change to existing PCA flow rates
The HyTronic and E-Tronic 40 Series faucets come in six styles and over 60 configurations to match any application. A Chicago Faucet can meet any design and budget with lavatory faucets and goosenecks for both deck and wall mount applications. Choose from three power options: AC, DC or Self-Sustaining Power Systems. Accessories include the Commander Handheld Programming Unit for maintaining, monitoring and adjusting faucets.
