MOEN’S FREEHAND ELECTRONIC FAUCETS OFFER HYGENIC, COST-EFFECTIVE “GREEN” SOLUTIONS IN COMMERCIAL SETTINGS

Above- or Below-Deck Electronics Provide Installation Options

North Olmsted, Ohio… Moen Incorporated’s Commercial Division offers a complete line of easy-to-operate FreeHand electronic sensor faucets featuring hands-free activation. Designed with conservation and convenience in mind, these faucets are ideal for commercial, healthcare and educational facility applications.

“Our FreeHand electronic faucets aid in conserving precious resources,” said Allen Talley, Moen’s Commercial director of marketing/product development. “As a member of the US Green Building Council, a coalition of leaders in the building industry promoting environmentally responsible building and design, these new Moen faucets offer solutions for the conservation of water and energy.”

A unique motion sensor starts and stops the flow of water, automatically reducing daily gallons used, reducing sewage bills, limiting hot water consumption, saving energy and preventing the risk of accidental overflow. In addition, because there are no handles, FreeHand faucets also offer a hygienic solution in preventing the spread of germs and bacteria from user to user.

Above- and below-deck electronics offer installation options based on sink styles or building preferences.

FreeHand electronic faucets feature:  Four-inch center-set or single-hole mount lavatory faucet  High arc, gooseneck deck mount  0.5 GPM low flow aerators  30 second “Auto-Off” to prevent overflow  Slow closing solenoid valve stops “water-hammer”  Stainless steel supply lines  All-metal chrome-plated construction

Each faucet is powered using standard AA Alkaline batteries or an AC adaptor, comes equipped with a water conserving low-flow, vandal-resistant aerator and meets ADA-compliance requirements.

Available accessories include: mixing valve, mixing tee, AC adaptor, multi-unit AC adaptor, deckplates, cable and a 24-inch power cable lead for maximum flexibility.

All of Moen’s Commercial FreeHand electronic faucets are backed by a five-year warranty against material or manufacturing defects. In addition, should there be a need for replacement parts; Moen products are distributed nation-wide, making them the most easily acquired parts in the industry.
