Commercial Sensor Faucets

Commercial sensor faucets turn the water on when hands move under the spout and off when they leave, which cuts down on touched surfaces and wasted water in busy washrooms. This page gathers touchless faucets from American Standard, such as the NextGen Selectronic Touchless Faucet, the Paradigm Selectronic Touchless Faucet and the Serin Touchless Faucet, in Polished Chrome and Brushed Nickel finishes. They are a common choice for offices, restaurants, clinics, schools and other public spaces, and some renovators also like them for a high traffic bathroom at home.

Before you shop, think about how the faucet will be powered, whether you need temperature mixing at the deck, and what flow rate your project calls for. Product names on this page list flow options such as 0.5 gpm/1.9 Lpm and 0.35 gpm/1.3 Lpm, and they may also call out features like SmarTherm Safety Shut-Off, Above-Deck Mixing or battery power. Matching those details to your sink, supply lines and local plumbing requirements will save a return trip, and our team can help if you are not sure which configuration fits your space.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm the power source. Sensor faucets can run on batteries or a hardwired connection. Check which option your site can support and whether an electrician will be needed.
• Decide how temperature will be mixed. If the faucet will connect to separate hot and cold supplies, look for a mixing option such as Above-Deck Mixing in the product name. Otherwise plan for a pre-mixed supply.
• Check the required flow rate. Project specs often set a maximum flow. Compare the figure in the product name, such as 0.5 gpm/1.9 Lpm or 0.35 gpm/1.3 Lpm, against what your plans call for.
• Measure the sink and deck holes. Confirm the number and size of holes in your sink or counter, plus the clearance behind and below the deck, so the spout and sensor sit where you expect.
• Match the finish across the room. Polished Chrome and Brushed Nickel are offered here. Pick one and carry it through to soap dispensers and accessories for a consistent look.

Frequently asked questions

How does a touchless commercial faucet work?

A sensor near the spout detects hands and opens a valve to start the water, then closes it when the hands are removed. This limits contact with the fixture and helps avoid taps being left running.

Do commercial sensor faucets need an electrician?

It depends on the model. Battery-powered versions, such as the NextGen Selectronic Touchless Faucet, Battery-Powered With Above-Deck Mixing, do not need a hardwired connection, while other versions may require a power supply at the sink.

What does SmarTherm Safety Shut-Off mean?

It is a feature named on certain American Standard touchless faucets, such as the Paradigm Selectronic Touchless Faucet, Base Model With SmarTherm Safety Shut-Off + ADM. Check the product details to see how it manages hot water at the spout.
