life. Hand burns can be particularly problematic because of the risk for long-term disability. LavSafe™ thermostatic faucets provide all the


protection you need. These thermostatic faucets are designed for use where a premium is placed on user safety, especially for children and the elderly. Hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, schools, hotels and residences are ideal locations for LavSafe protection. While LavSafe may look like a stylish, single-lever


faucet on the outside, it’s something much more on the inside. Think of Clark Kent versus his caped superhero alter-persona. LavSafe is what its name plainly implies: safe. LavSafe is not just a faucet, but more importantly an ASSE 1070 thermostatic tempering device. At the heart of LavSafe is a powerful, long-lasting


paraffin thermostat designed to protect users from severe variations in outlet temperature caused by changes in supply-line pressure and temperature. LavSafe is the first faucets to earn an ASSE 1070 listing. With LavSafe, tempering is accomplished just inches from the user where it’s most effective. LavSafe brings a top-down perspective to ASSE 1070


and plumbing code compliance. These faucets are simple in function because the innovative design moves the tempering function inside the faucet. ASSE 1070 compliance now requires one device, not


two, saving valuable installation time and money. Maintenance and set-up are a snap because all key components are easily accessible from above the sink, including the adjustable high-temperature limit stop.

construction, the sleek contemporary styling ensures that LavSafe will look as beautiful as it works. LavSafe’s solid brass construction is chrome-plated to a mirror-like finish for a lifetime of beauty and protection. LavSafe may be installed with or without the base plate, grid drain or drain pop-up, and two ADA-compliant handle options. Finally, LavSafe faucets are smart: they help to save


energy, minimize the spread of bacteria, and provide peace of mind with compliance to new lead-free plumbing laws. LavSafe faucets are available with reduced flow, vandal


resistant outlets from 0.5 gpm to 1.5 gpm which can save thousands of gallons of water per year. Select models have earned the WaterSense®


label for water conservation. The


precision tempering capabilities of LavSafe allow boilers to operate at higher temperatures and maintain peak efficiency. According to the Centers for Disease Control, boilers that maintain 140°F or higher help control potentially harmful bacteria in the water. Hotter water
