WaterSense

Pre-Rinse Spray Valve Factsheets

WaterSense, its partners, and other stakeholders worked diligently during the specification development process to develop an industry-accepted water efficiency and performance testing protocol, which was adopted in ASTM F2324 and now serves the basis for the DOE requirements for commercial pre-rinse spray valves.
