Comparable to the Chicago Faucet® Replacement Part #E2805JKCP our 0.5 gpm pressure compensating aerator model provides a flow rate reduction up to 75% as compared to the standard 2.2 gpm aerator. The wide spray is ideal for hand washing stations and is vandal proof.
Under Federal Law, all faucets installed in public lavatories (exposed to walk-in traffic) must deliver a maximum flow of 0.5 gpm or 0.25 gpc (gallons per cycle) for metering/electronic faucets.
PCA (pressure compensating aerator products) - provide a constant, consistent flow regardless of variations inline pressure. Standard aerators are typically flow restricted, using a fixed orifice to control flow rate. They work great if the line pressure is around 60 psi. If it is much lower, the flow rate will be insufficient; if it is higher, water and energy will be wasted. This PCA aerator will maintain a constant flow of 0.5 gpm regardless of water pressure.
Aerators are fully listed to the applicable US standards ANSI/ASME A112.18.1 (performance, construction quality and endurance) and ANSI/NSF61 (drinking water safety). Note that most other competitive aerators are NOT listed. Their marking "A112.18.1" on the housing side is NOT an indication of listing.
The Vandal-Proof Aerator is available in Junior Sizes for Male or Female Threads.
