The Chicago Faucet Company is launching the EQ Arc, the latest addition to its popular EQ Series of hands-free faucets. This innovative mini-arc spout design combines proven performance with sleek aesthetics, catering to the evolving needs of commercial restroom spaces. It can be powered with a water turbine for self-sustaining power or a long-term battery for easy maintenance. It also saves on water, with a low-flow outlet and a proven, limited run-time electronic sensor. Public restrooms in commercial, hospitality, retail, airport, public assembly venues, and other high-use spaces are perfect for this modern faucet. The efficient EQ Arc touchless faucet is as attractive on the outside as it is on the bottom line for building owners.
EQ Arc: Compact Yet Powerful
Standing at just 4½ inches high, the EQ Arc delivers big performance in a small package. Its compact design makes it ideal for eco-friendly environments with fast installation, easy operation, and durability for the future.
Modern Aesthetics
The EQ Arc offers a contemporary look that enhances the visual appeal of any restroom. Its minimalist design caters to architects, designers, engineers, and facility managers seeking to create up-to-date, stylish spaces for their clients.
Constructed with a heavy-duty, one-piece solid brass spout, it ensures longevity in high-traffic environments. The longer reach of the spout offers more clearance for effective handwashing, setting it apart from other similar models.
Sustainability and Efficiency
Power Options
The EQ Arc offers multiple power solutions, including:
- Self-Sustaining Power Supply (SSPS): A water turbine option generates power from water flow, requiring only an average of two minutes of daily use to stay operational with no daily usage requirements. It saves utility costs by self-generating power even in low use times.
- Long Term Power Supply (LTPS): A battery option providing maintenance-free power for 10+ years and saving on utility costs and battery change-outs.
- AC or DC Power are also available options.
EQ Arc Water Conservation
- With a flow rate of 0.50 gpm, it meets CalGreen and LEED, supporting sustainable design initiatives and reducing water consumption.
- Offering on-demand IR detection for hands-free actuation and maximum water savings, it works on 10 seconds of standard run time to save water in high-use environments.
Integrated Thermostatic Protection
The EQ Arc features an optional ASSE 1070 certified thermostatic mixing valve concealed within the control box. The integrated valve eliminates the need for a separate valve installation and eliminates potential leak points.
Proven Features of the EQ Arc
Common Sense Technology: The faucet incorporates an outlet that integrates the electronics module, sensing eye, and aerator. This innovative design ensures reliable operation, a key consideration for facility managers and specifiers.
Compact Control Box: Housing all essential components in one location, the control box simplifies installation and maintenance. It includes power, solenoid, mixing valve, and supply, eliminating the need for additional components.
Easy Installation: Pre-installed braided stainless-steel hose, supply hoses, and electronics cable facilitate a plug-and-play installation process, saving time and money for contractors and facility managers.
The EQ Arc by Chicago Faucets embodies proven commercial restroom faucet design elements. Its combination of compact size, modern aesthetics, tested features, and sustainability offers great value for new spaces or facility upgrades.
