Delta Faucet
Brand
Tech note: In multi-bathroom scopes, Delta is easiest to manage when you standardize a small set of families across vanity types and confirm service parts early. Align aerator/flow options with water targets, then verify rough-in constraints and deck thickness so field installs match the cut sheets. Use training/installation resources to reduce RFIs by documenting power, activation range, and maintenance access for sensor-adjacent models.
FontanaShowers
Brand
Tech note: For touchless commercial submittals, treat sensor type, power method, and service access as core specification fields. Confirm spout reach and sensor window placement relative to sink geometry to avoid false triggers or dead zones. When finish schedules span multiple room types, lock a consistent finish set early and document acceptable alternates. That keeps procurement aligned and reduces “near-match” substitutions late in the project.
BathSelect
Brand
Tech note: For touchless lavatory programs, confirm operating voltage, battery vs. hardwired options, and what’s included in the box (control module, hoses, mixing method). If temperature limitation is required, define whether the system is user-adjustable or facility-locked, and coordinate that intent with code expectations for scald protection. During submittals, validate mounting patterns and maximum deck thickness so countertop fabrication and fixture selection stay aligned.
JunoShowers
Brand
Tech note: For shower assemblies, your coordination risk is usually behind the wall: valve type, port count, and trim depth must match the selected configuration. Validate whether the intent is thermostatic or pressure-balance, then confirm service clearances and cartridge access. In multi-unit projects, reduce variability by standardizing to a small number of valve/trim “kits,” and document finish pairings that match accessories to avoid late procurement mismatches.
Moen
Brand
Tech note: Moen schedules often succeed when you design for maintenance: standard cartridges, consistent aerator types, and clear replacement pathways. For mixed-use projects, map fixture families to restroom typologies (public, tenant, back-of-house) and confirm flow/pressure constraints early. If any hands-free components are used, document power requirements and cleaning protocols so performance isn’t degraded by facility practices over time.
Kohler
Brand
Tech note: Kohler is a good fit when scope breadth matters—fixtures, trims, accessories, and related components can be coordinated under one documentation umbrella. Use pro tools to verify rough-in families and trim depth to reduce tile/finish conflicts. In high-traffic environments, align your spec language with durability and service parts strategy, and standardize accessories to match finishes so the final restroom reads as a unified system.
TOTO (USA)
Brand
Tech note: TOTO specifications benefit from early clarity on performance targets: flush/flow intent, water efficiency goals, and maintenance expectations. Use pro documentation to validate rough-in and clearance assumptions, especially where carriers, partitions, and chase depths compete for space. In coordinated models, lock the geometry early to avoid late conflicts with grab bars, dispensers, and mirror locations—small shifts compound quickly in multi-stall layouts.
Hansgrohe / AXOR
Brand
Tech note: For premium programs, coordination accuracy is everything—trim depth, handle swing, and spout reach must match the selected lavatory and backsplash conditions. Planning data helps resolve these constraints before tile and millwork are locked. In finish-forward designs, confirm sheen and material continuity across accessories (hooks, towel bars, drains) so the room reads consistently under real lighting. That approach reduces punchlist issues and improves long-term user experience.
American Standard
Brand
Tech note: American Standard is often selected for repeatable performance in large scopes where durability and serviceability matter more than novelty. Keep your submittals clean by documenting flow performance, rough-in constraints, and parts strategy. In renovations, cross-check existing conditions (supply lines, wall depth, carrier spacing) against current product requirements to avoid hidden conflicts. Standardizing a small kit-of-parts across restroom types simplifies maintenance and reduces long-term operational cost.
Sloan
Brand
Tech note: Sloan excels when restroom performance is measured over years: water efficiency, vandal resistance, and consistent sensor behavior matter as much as aesthetics. Use the resources hub to standardize literature in your submittal package and align spec language with real maintenance practices. For sensor faucets, document power strategy and tuning assumptions (detection range, timeout) so facilities teams can keep performance stable after occupancy. That reduces callbacks and protects user experience.
