Metering Controls are generally manual on/automatic off controls which are used to limit the flow time of water. These types of controls are most commonly installed on lavatory faucets and on showers.
|
|
|
What are Automatic Fixture Sensors
|
Automatic Fixture Sensors are motion sensors that automatically turn on/off lavatories, sinks, water closets and urinals. Sensors may be hard wired or battery operated.
