Commercial Metering Faucets

Metering faucets—also called self closing faucet designs—are built to automatically shut off after a preset flow cycle. These water saving faucets are commonly used in high-traffic environments where controlling water usage, improving hygiene, and reducing maintenance are important.

A commercial metering faucet delivers a measured amount of water each time it is activated, making it a reliable solution for public restrooms, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial buildings. Many models feature push-button activation and durable construction designed for long-term use in demanding environments.

Popular manufacturers in this category include Chicago Faucets, T&S Brass, Geberit, and Symmons, all known for producing dependable metered faucets that meet commercial plumbing standards.

Why Choose Metering Faucets?

Metering faucets help facilities reduce water consumption while maintaining reliable performance in busy restrooms and shared spaces. Because the faucet automatically shuts off, it prevents water from running unnecessarily and supports sustainability initiatives.

Key benefits include:

  • Reduced water usage compared to traditional manual faucets
  • Automatic shut-off to prevent waste
  • Durable construction for commercial environments
  • Improved hygiene with minimal touch operation
  • Support for water efficiency initiatives and building standards

In many applications, water saving faucets can also help lower utility costs over time by controlling how much water is used during each cycle.

Common Applications for Commercial Metering Faucets

Restrooms & Lavatories

Most metering bathroom faucets are installed in public restrooms and lavatory areas. A metered lavatory faucet provides controlled water flow for handwashing while helping facilities manage water use in high-traffic locations such as:

  • Schools and universities
  • Airports and transit centers
  • Office buildings
  • Restaurants and hospitality properties
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Government buildings

These environments often rely on commercial metering faucet solutions because they balance user convenience with operational efficiency.

Utility & Light Kitchen Areas

While metering faucets are primarily used in restrooms, certain installations may also use a metering sink faucet in utility sinks, break rooms, or controlled-use kitchen environments where water conservation is a priority.

These applications are less common than lavatory installations, but they can be useful in facilities that want to limit water flow or prevent faucets from being left running.

Types of Metered Faucets Available

Commercial metered faucets come in several configurations to match different sink styles and plumbing setups.

Push Button Metering Faucets

A push button metering faucet is one of the most common designs used in commercial restrooms. Pressing the button activates a timed flow cycle that automatically shuts off after a few seconds.

Single Hole Metering Faucets

A single hole metering faucet is designed for sinks with a single mounting hole, making installation simple and compatible with many commercial lavatories.

Self Closing Faucets

Self closing faucet designs operate similarly to push-button models but may include different activation mechanisms depending on the manufacturer and application.

Choosing the Right Commercial Metering Faucet

When selecting a commercial metering faucet, it’s important to consider:

  • Sink configuration and mounting style
  • Expected traffic and usage frequency
  • Flow cycle timing and water output
  • Durability and serviceability
  • Compatibility with existing plumbing systems

Facilities often choose metering faucets specifically for their ability to provide consistent performance while helping reduce overall water consumption.
