DES PLAINES, Ill., Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Chicago Faucet Company, a leader in commercial faucet manufacturing, displayed its latest safer plumbing innovations at the recent Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference (ASHE 2024). The company introduced two faucet products designed to enhance patient safety and meet stringent healthcare facility guidelines.
A highlight of Chicago Faucets' presentation was the new HyTronic® Faucet with a longer reach six-inch spout (GN6), specifically engineered to comply with the Facility Guidelines Institute's (FGI) latest requirements for hand-washing stations in healthcare settings. This faucet's extended reach is also ideal for food preparation, sanitary hand washing, and hand scrubbing in critical medical areas. It addresses the FGI's recommendation for spout reach of at least six inches to accommodate two adult hands and prevent water pooling.
Chicago Faucets also unveiled its innovative Emergency Eyewash with Lab Nozzle Faucet, a dual-purpose solution for laboratory areas, which is also ideal for science, chemistry laboratories in schools and universities. This product combines a standard lab nozzle faucet with an emergency eyewash station, meeting OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.151(c) and ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 requirements. The compact design provides quick access to eyewash in case of exposure to hazardous substances. It has a dedicated water supply for the eyewash to ensure clean water for emergency eye flushing. Compact eyewash units with standard manual handled faucets or touchless faucets are also available.
The company also showcased the Auto-Drain Shower with Diverter for dual spray showers and Auto-Drain Low Flow versions to conserve water and energy while reducing water stagnation.
With these new products and partnerships, Chicago Faucets continues to prioritize safety and sustainability in facilities. Richard Nortier, Director of Marketing at Chicago Faucets, emphasized the company's commitment to health and safety: "At Chicago Faucets, we're committed to helping facility managers maintain the highest standards of safety through innovations in plumbing fittings. Our new HyTronic Gooseneck Faucet with six-inch Spout and the Emergency Eyewash with Lab Nozzle combination showcase our focus on addressing the unique needs of healthcare and other environments where safety is important. From infection control to emergency response readiness, we provide a valued component in water and safety management plans."
Nortier concluded, "These new products join Chicago Faucets' comprehensive +Healthcare portfolio, which includes the Auto-Drain™ Shower System, HyTronic for Patient Care touchless faucets, and ELR ligature-resistant fixtures, all designed to minimize waterborne pathogens and enhance overall hygiene in healthcare settings."
