Bradley Washfountains - Page 9

Circular Washfountain with 9" Deep Bowl

• Available in a 54" or 36" Bowl Size
• Foot Control or Infrared Operation
• Available in Bradstone™, Terrazzo™, or Stainless Steel Bowls

Size and Capacity:Accommodates 5 users (36" models) or 8 users (54" models) at a time, using less water, energy, and space than lavs equipped with conventional faucets. The nonsectional sprayhead module is controlled by a mechanically actuated hold-open valve (foot control models) or by an infrared sensor-actuated solenoid valve. Flow rate is at 2 GPM (36" models) or 5 GPM (54" models) when properly adjusted. Operating range is 20–100 PSI.

Bowl Materials: Bowls for Classic washfountains are available in Bradstone, terrazzo, or stainless steel.

Molded Bradstone: Composed of reinforced thermosetting polyester resins, finely ground inorganic fillers, and fade-resistant pigments. Bradstone bowls are 85% lighter than precast bowls, yet comparable on a strength-to-weight basis. Bradstone is highly resistant to acid, abrasions, and corrosion; and will not chip, peel, or flake. The bowl has a uniform thickness of 1/4". The underside is structurally reinforced by equally spaced radial ribs 1/4"W X 3/4"H.

Precast Terrazzo: Composed of approximately 85% stone and 15% binder with steel reinforcing rods cast into the bowl. Polished and sealed with urethane resin.

Stainless Steel:One-piece pressing of 14 gauge stainless steel polished to a #4 finish.

Pedestals: Constructed of die-formed legs, upper braces, scuff bases, and panels: legs are 14 gauge galvanized steel; upper braces are heavy gauge steel coated with a rust preventative; and scuff bases are stainless steel with a #4 finish. Pedestal panels are specific to washfountain type as follows: Bradstone washfountains have tapered, vacuum-formed ABS panels; terrazzo washfountains have straight, galvanized, vinyl-clad steel panels; and stainless steel washfountains have straight, type 304 stainless steel panels polished to a #4 finish.

Valves and Fittings :In addition to bowl and pedestal, the following valves and fittings are standard: sprayhead with stainless steel support tube and bowl gasket; spud with locknut and beehive strainer; sprayhead supply pipe; manual mixing valve; volume control valve; and combination stop strainer and check valves.

Specify either a foot control valve or infrared activation as a standard selection (see the Standard Selections table on page W-C/5).

Foot Control Valve: Each press of the foot rail mechanically actuates a hold-open valve, with slow closing upon release of foot pressure.

Infrared Control :Hands placed within the washfountain bowl are detected by an infrared sensor module which activates a flow of tempered water from the non-sectional sprayhead. Shut-off is automatic after hands are removed from the detection area.

The sensor module uses two zone-focused infrared transmitting beams—each creating a detection area not exceeding the bowl perimeter. The detection range projects 6–9 inches forward at a 30°angle to each side, and reaches 15°below horizontal. The infrared sensor is not affected by varying color tones or darkness. Direct sunlight or bright washroom lights (up to 10,000 ft. candles) will not activate the system. Models also include a solenoid and low voltage transformer as standard equipment:

• Solenoid - 24V, 50/60 Hz, 3/4" NPT. Few moving parts,and resistant to most  chemicals and minerals in municipal water.
• Low Voltage Transformer - Class II, 110/24 VAC plug-in transformer. Location of transformer per local electrical code.
