NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO—Moen Incorporated’s Commercial Division introduces M•Power, a full line of sensor-operated flush valves featuring durability, water savings and sanitary protection for commercial restrooms. The M•Power line offers a number of options, including standard flow, high efficiency, dual flush and pint flush models. All M•Power flush valves require little or no maintenance, offering lower lifetime costs for a facility. As an added benefit, installing Moen’s M•Power flush valves contributes to a building’s eligibility to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, earning the building up to two points in the Water Use Reduction category.
“M•Power flush valves offer the best solution for the conservation of water and energy as well as providing a solid return on investment,” said George Spear, senior product manager, Moen Inc. “M•Power flush valves provide a safe and reliable replacement option for manual flush valves, which can be a health concern when it comes to the spread of germs and bacteria in public restrooms.”
There are three types of high-efficiency, water-saving flush valves in the M•Power line:
High Efficiency Flush Valves
M•Power high efficiency flush valves increase water savings for commercial properties with significantly reduced flow rates. High efficiency water closet flush valves feature a flow rate of 1.28 gallons per minute (gpm) when combined with coordinating fixtures, a 20 percent savings from the industry standard of 1.6 gpm. High efficiency urinal flush valves feature a flow rate of 0.5 gpm, a 50 percent savings from the industry standard of 1.0 gpm. These flush valves also promote energy savings with the help of an infrared sensor beam that activates a flush cycle only when a user is in range, ensuring optimal performance, efficient operation and cost savings.
Pint Flush Valves
For the highest possible water savings without utilizing waterless urinals, pint flush valves offer up to an 88 percent water savings from the industry standard 1.0 gallon per flush (gpf) urinal flush valve. Moen Commercial’s pint flush valves offer the lowest operation and maintenance costs when compared to both waterless and standard 1.0 gpf models. The pint flush valve’s infrared sensor beam activates a flush cycle when the user is in range, for unparalleled water efficiency and sanitary protection without the odor, additional maintenance and costs associated with waterless urinals.
Dual Flush Valves
New dual flush valves work automatically, using advanced electronics to ensure that the right amount of water is utilized for every flush; dramatically reducing water consumption and limiting overall building and operating expenses. Dual flush valves rely on the timing of the individual in the stall to determine the strength of the flush in commercial water closet applications, automatically reducing water usage by up to 37 percent without sacrificing performance. The sensor-operated valves allow the user to be in range for up to 60 seconds for a reduced 1.0 gallon flush. After 60 seconds, a full 1.6 gallon flush is activated, possibly saving a facility thousands of gallons of water each year. These flush valves are available in a variety of power options, including standard AA batteries or low-powered AC adapters. Retrofit kits are also available for existing electronic or manual flush valves, allowing for a simple and cost-effective flush valve conversion.
Moen’s M•Power flush valves are built to withstand the harshest commercial and industrial environments and are equipped with vandal-resistant stop valves and a shatter-proof polycarbonate lens cover to protect the sensor eye. All Moen flush valves meet ADA compliance requirements.
