Compatible with 1 or 3-hole configurations up to 2″ (50mm) thick decks. Deck mount with brushed gold escutcheon plate included. Suitable for solid surface, natural stone, and porcelain sinks.

Power Source Planning

Hardwired (110V AC) recommended for high-traffic luxury properties (400+ cycles/day). 6 AA batteries (24-36 month life) for distributed or retrofit installations. Battery backup recommended for uninterrupted operation.

Sensor Calibration

Adjustable infrared range 4-8 inches for deep vessel basins, under-mount sinks, or splash-prone configurations common in luxury restroom designs.

Plumbing Rough-In & ADA Clearance

Standard US plumbing connections (1/2″ NPT male thread). Forward reach ≤48″ (1220mm) and knee clearance compliance with 2010 ADA Standards. Coordinate with countertop height and basin depth.

Commercial Maintenance & Serviceability

Cleaning Protocols for Brushed Gold

Clean exterior with mild soap and soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or alcohol-based sanitizers on PVD finish. The fingerprint-resistant finish requires less frequent cleaning than polished chrome.

Filter & Aerator Service

Remove and clean aerator quarterly in hardwater environments. Sediment filter accessible from deck mount — no under-sink access required for routine service.

Solenoid Valve & Battery Replacement

Modular 500,000+ cycle rating. Replacement takes <10 minutes without special tools. Low-battery indicator (LED flash) provides 30-day warning. Use alkaline AA batteries only.
