Classic Washfountains

Corner Washfountain with 9" Deep Bowl

• Available in a 54" Bowl Size
• Foot Control or Infrared Operation
• Bowl Constructed of Precast Terrazzo™

Specifications

Size and Capacity

Accommodates 3 users 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 model) or by an infrared sensor-actuated solenoid valve. Flow rate 2.75 GPM when properly adjusted. Operating range is 20–100 PSI.

Bowl Material

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

Pedestals

Pedestals consist 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 straight, galvanized, vinyl-clad steel panels.

Standard Equipment

Valves and Fittings

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

Activation Controls

Specify either a foot control valve or infrared activation as a standard selection (see the Standard Selections table on W-C/18).

Foot Control Valve

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

Activation Controls (continued)

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 infrared 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. Infrared models also include a solenoid and low voltage transformer as standard equipment:

• Solenoid—24V, 50/60 Hz, 3/8" 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.
