The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), in
effect since January 1, 2006, states that all
pre-rinse units and replacement spray
valves used for ware washing must have a
maximum flow of 1.6 gpm at 60
psi.
Now, more than ever, water conservation is
a primary concern in the foodservice
plumbing industry. The Food Service
Technology Center (FSTC) appliance
testing laboratory says that "a low-flow pre-
rinse spray valve is one of the easiest and
most cost effective energy saving devices
available," reducing water consumption,
water heating energy and sewer
charges.
The fast-rinsing and EPAct compliant B-
0107C spray valve offers power and
efficiency. This is the only spray valve that
is endorsed by the Green Restaurant
Association. With a flow rate of 1.24 gpm,
fan jet and knife action spray,
this model offers the cleaning efficiency
and durability you have come to expect
from T&S.
With such a low flow rate compared to a standard pre-rinse spray valve (1.24 gpm versus about 4 gpm), you could easily save up to 100,000 gallons of water per year, resulting in hundreds of dollar of savings! That's estimating that the valve is operated for approximately 2 hours per day 300 days out of the year.
This T&S B-0107C spray valve can be
used with most commercial pre-rinse
hoses. A repair kit is available under item
510B10KC.
