Switchout Commercial Lavatory Flush Valves to Sensor Flush Valves

black finish sensor flush valveLavatories are some of the most important components of any commercial building. Without them, the building wouldn’t be very useful. However, when commercial bathrooms have outdated technology, it can cause a lot of headaches for plumbers, property managers and the users of the restroom. With the advanced technology we now have for a commercial lavatory, it makes a lot of sense to implement high-quality products to ensure a well-functioning commercial lavatory that deals with fewer issues.

While there are numerous advanced technology components that can be installed in a commercial restroom, we’ll be featuring sensor flush valve solutions in this post.

We’ll discuss the many benefits of upgrading a toilet or urinal to these touch-less flush valve products, and we’ll also talk about the different technologies used for these valves.

Benefits of Upgrading to a Sensor Flush Valve

Restrooms are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria. If you don’t practice good hand-washing techniques, then you can risk catching a disease or serious illness. But while sickness still happens regardless, the advanced technology of today provides many advantages in this regard. Here are a few benefits of upgrading your toilet and urinal flush valve to sensor models:

Prevents the Spread of Germs

As we just mentioned, commercial bathrooms are flooded with germs. Just think of everywhere we touch in a bathroom. But when a sensor urinal or toilet flush valve is installed, this can greatly reduce the spread of germs. Given how standard toilet flushers contain tons of bacteria, upgrading to a sensor model can help to prevent the spread of germs and it also promotes cleanliness.

ADA Compliant

Another benefit of upgrading to a sensor flush valve is that they’re ADA compliant. This technology can be used easily by anyone, and this ease of use allows users to get in and out in a hurry without dealing with bacteria-filled flush valves.

Conserves Water and Energy

Another plus of upgrading to hand free sensor flush valves is that they help to save water and energy. This technology has really advanced over the years, and the products of today are built to use the least amount of water and energy as possible.

Easy to Install

If these benefits are resonating with you, then you may be wondering about the installation. Again, due to the highly advanced technology of today, these urinal and flush valve solutions are extremely easy to install. Whether you’re switching out an older model or you’re dealing with a completely new construction project, these flush valves can be installed with ease!

User-Friendly

Of course, one of the leading benefits of upgrading to a sensor flush valve is that they are extremely user-friendly. Instead of touching a flush handle and risking the spread of millions of germs, a touch-less flush valve does all of the work for you! Simply handle your business, then the toilet or urinal will flush automatically!

Tanks, Diaphragms, and Piston Technologies

Tanks 

Tank flushers are designed for low traffic areas. That being said, they are typically found in homes or small offices.

Diaphragms

Diaphragms are flush valves that are designed for medium to high traffic areas. They are best used for places that require faster recovery after each flush. They also require higher water pressure.

Piston Valves

Similar to diaphragms, piston valves are built for areas that see a lot of traffic. But one difference is that they can handle low-quality water conditions and still work properly. Additionally, piston valves need a water pressure of 10+ psi to work correctly.
