Architect’s Complete Guide to Specifying Commercial Restroom Fixtures

(Hotels • Airports • Offices • Healthcare)

Core Principles: What to Prioritize

  • Accessibility & Code Compliance (e.g., ADA requirements, clearances, reachable controls)

  • Hygiene & Touchless Technology (sensor-activated fittings, low-touch interfaces)

  • Water & Energy Efficiency (WaterSense lavs at 0.5 gpm — or ≤1.5 gpm in guestrooms; WaterSense toilets at ≤1.28 gpf)

  • Safety & Comfort (ASSE 1070 thermostatic mixing for anti-scald protection; IP-rated electronics for splash zones)

  • Durability & Vandal Resistance (brass bodies, resilient finishes, tamper-resistant components)

  • Maintenance & Serviceability (top-fill multi-feed soap delivery, battery diagnostics, standardized parts)

  • Aesthetic Fit & Brand Experience (coordinated finishes, design integration, high-end visual cues)

  • Documentation & Design Support (Revit/BIM models, full-spec submittals, wiring diagrams)


Venue-Specific Applications

Venue TypeKey Specs & Strategy
HotelsPublic lavs with premium finish sensor faucets (0.5 gpm), guestroom Faucets (≤1.5 gpm), ASSE 1070 deadwater mixing upstream of sensor faucet
Airports / TransitTouch-free lavs at 0.35–0.5 gpm, integrated “wash‑bar” stations, multi-feed soap tanks for ease of service, sensor-flush toilets
OfficesWaterSense lavs & toilets, energy harvesting faucets (hydropower), cost-optimized finishes for standard floors; luxe finishes for executive cores
HealthcareLaminar flow outlets at patient zones, ASSE 1070 mixing required, durable sensor faucets, easily disinfected surfaces, top-feed soap systems

Putting It All Together: Spec Section Sample (Division 22)

22 42 39 – SENSOR FAUCETS & SOAP SYSTEMS (Commercial Lavatories)

  • Basis of Design: FontanaShowers sensor faucets, select HW finish as scheduled (e.g., FS-2128 Chrome, FS-1085GBDP Matte Black/Gold, FS-354AB Antique Brass). Matched with top-fill multi-feed soap (Bradley or Fontana model BATHROOM-FAUCET-FB507GD).

  • Requirements: 0.5 gpm flow; adjustable sensor timeout (<30s); vandal-resistant outlet; ASSE 1070 thermostatic mixing upstream; hydropower where specified; IP56-rated electronics. Provide Revit/BIM models and wiring diagrams.

22 42 23 – FLUSHOMETERS (Water Closets / Urinals)

  • Use WaterSense-rated systems (≤1.28 gpf), sensor-actuated valves (Sloan Royal, Zurn AquaSense), durable diaphragm packs for heavy-use.

General Healthcare Spec Addenda (if applicable)

  • All patient-area lavs: laminar, sensor faucets (Fontana or Sloan) with ASSE 1070; soap via top-fill; coordinate with infection control.


Why This Works for Architects

  • Design Flexibility: 25+ Fontana models offer a rich palette of finishes, mounting configurations, and sensor features fitting hotels, offices, and hospitals.

  • Hygiene First: Sensor operation + automated soap = cleaner restrooms and better occupant confidence.

  • Operational Efficiency: Options like hydropower, multi-feed soaps, and durable brass lower long-term maintenance.

  • Seamless Planning: Many models come with BIM/Revit support and clear spec documentation to reduce installation errors.

  • Backed Alternatives: Sloan, Zurn, TOTO offer proven alternatives when specified finishes or power sources vary.
