Can't touch this
Hands-free washroom operating system reduces water usage by 70%, while at the same time reducing maintenance costs by preventing stains and damage from uric acid and calcium deposits. Radius capacitive sensors create a force field that activates water flow as hands approach the faucet, so customers don't have to search for the right spot and to distinguish hands from false activators.

Sturdy sprinkler
CPVC fire sprinkler system is ideal for installation in college dorms, hospitals, hotels, and high-rise buildings. The sprinkler system's pipes and fittings are immune to microbiologically influenced corrosion, and therefore offer long-term performance, including a 50-year life expectancy and a safety factor of two. The pipes are 1/6 the weight of steel pipes, so they are easier to install. No pre-fabrication is required and alterations can be made on site. A one-step solvent system bonds joints quickly and neatly without the need for heavy power equipment or torches.

Save water
Dual-flush toilet is equipped with a two-button actuator integrated into the tank lid, allowing users to select one of two water levels each time the toilet is flushed. The Rockton toilet with Dual Force flushing technology allows users to flush either 1.6 gallons (Federal mandate and industry standard) or .8 gallons. The latter flush option, if used routinely to remove light or liquid waste, can save as much as 6,000 gallons of water per year, per toilet, over traditional 1.6-gallon models.
