Lakewood, N.J. – Encore®, a division of Component Hardware Group, Inc. (CHG), unveils the Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter to help prevent cross-contamination and conserve on water consumption. This is the newest addition to Encore’s broad line of electronic faucets and accessories that offer a hygienic, hands-free alternative to standard faucets. This low cost adapter is ideal for post-construction hand sink applications in food service, healthcare and other commercial environments.

The Encore Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter can help reduce water consumption by up to 70 percent by utilizing a reliable infrared sensor that instantly stops water flow when not in use. A manual on/off over-ride button provides instant flow to fill any container, while a preset three-minute automatic time-out feature minimizes the chance of overflow.

“Encore’s Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adaptor is the ideal product for anyone looking for a low cost, hygienic alternative when retro-fitting their existing hand sink faucets. In addition, it will help to reduce water consumption and save on costly water bills,” said Kevin Tumpey, marketing manager for CHG. “With the continuing trend toward sustainability, it was very important to develop a hands-free faucet solution that preserves precious resources.”

Employers, risk managers and infection control specialist appreciate the hygienic, hands-free feature and the fact that the Encore Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter promotes thorough hand washing with a preset one-minute timer in auto sensor mode. Seniors and small-children alike will also find operating easy, as the faucet turns on by simply placing hands underneath, even when both hands are full.

Converting any existing faucet into an automatic hands-free faucet takes less than five minutes, and the adapter fits on most standard faucets with aerators using a simple screw-on installation.

The Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter, model number K12-0100, has an adjustable 2-to-10-inch sensor range based on sink type and illumination. The adapter functions under working pressures from 10-125 PSI and is supplied with a 2.2 GPM aerator, although CHG is currently working on a 1.5 GPM model for additional water savings. The unit operates on four standard AAA 1.5V batteries, which are not included. CHG also offers a one-year warranty from date of purchase.
