Chicago Faucets announces the release of a white paper, How Faucets Contribute to Meeting Accessibility Design Challenges in the Restroom, which discusses and clarifies the many dimensions to consider when designing accessible restroom compartments in a public restroom.

The white paper reviews the two primary sources for accessibility information: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and The Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities (ICC/ANSI A117.1). Further emphasis is given on a wheelchair accessible sink and counter, focusing on the faucet criteria.

The white paper recommends possible faucet solutions for a variety of situations. Although design solutions should allow for common usage by people with a limited range of motion, nothing in the standard requirements prevents the use of designs, products, or technologies as alternatives to those prescribed, provided they result in substantially equivalent or greater accessibility and usability.

Eye-catching style and well-executed design are combined in two new floor-mounted tub fillers, now available from American Standard. These tub fillers are offered in two appealing styles: asculptural square model characterized by geometric shapes and crisp angles, and an elegant round model with clean curves and minimalistic contours.

Designed to enhance the ultimate soaking experience, both tub fillers feature a convenient metal hand shower that easily makes any bathing interlude the perfect pampering event at the end of a long day. The hand shower can be angled up to 60 degrees when attached to the tub filler stand, ensuring that the water stream accurately flows into the tub for the bather’s pleasure. It also features a spray face designed for easy cleaning and maintenance.

To simplify installation, both tub fillers feature a 360 degree rotation capability at the base, allowing them to be positioned in any direction, even after the rough plumbing has been installed. These floor-mounted tub fillers are equipped with an adjustable level feature – exclusive to American Standard – which allows the installer to correctly level the unit even if the mounting surface is irregular, to ensure a perfectly vertical installation.

Beneath their stunning design that complements modern bath décor, these round and square tub fillers are built to offer reliable, flawless performance. Both models are equipped with washerless ceramic disc valve cartridges that provide smooth handle movement and a lifetime of water-saving, drip-free operation. They also feature durable brass construction to ensure optimum performance and function.

To simplify design choices, these competitively priced tub fillers easily coordinate with other stylish American Standard bathroom faucet collections. The square tub filler complements the Berwick and Times Square faucet collections, while the round tub filler matches beautifully with the Serin, Studio, Moments, and Green Tea assortments. Both tub fillers are designed to harmonize with all American Standard freestanding tubs: the Cadet, Coastal, Sedona and Kipling models.

These new tub faucets are available in a choice of two attractive finishes – polished chrome and satin nickel – to beautifully coordinate with popular lavatory room settings.
