Sensor-Operated Washroom Fixtures

Sloan Valve Company has introduced its Optima Lino faucet, the latest in the company’s line of sensor-operated plumbing fixtures. The chrome-plated, die-cast metal faucets, featuring single-hole European styling, fit a variety of installation applications. Various decorative finish options are available, and trim plates may be ordered for sinks with three-hole punchings.

Models with the Integral Spout Temperature Mixer, which are intended for hospital rooms, executive restrooms and other locations, include a lever that lets users adjust the water temperature. When users press the i.q.-cliq button on the spout of select models, they tap into user-directed modes, including “continuous run” and “temporary off.” This adjustment can also be converted to a fixed setting. Equipped with double infrared sensors and microprocessor-based logic, the faucet is available in battery-powered or hardwired models.
