T&S Brass and Bronze Works, leading manufacturer of innovative foodservice and commercial plumbing products, has unveiled a redesign of its B-1100 workboard faucet series as well as new universal deck plates.
“The changes and enhancements were designed to increase the convenience of these widely used faucets, improve their water-conservation features and appearance, and offer even more of T&S’ legendary reliability,” said Ken Gallagher, vice president of global sales, speaking about the workboard faucet.
In addition to a sleek new look, the B-1100 faucets feature a heavy-duty forged brass body that has been redesigned to accept standard T&S compression and ceramic cartridges and is easier to maintain and install replacement parts.
Specific feature changes include:
- A switch to T&S cartridges from spindle assemblies, which reduces the number of spare parts for plumbers to stock and standardizes cartridges across the T&S product line.
- Cartridges extend the life of the faucet body by eliminating spindle threads and wearable seats.
- Water-conserving 2.2 GPM aerators replace stream regulators, offering efficiency straight from the box.
- Swivel-to-rigid lock washers give installers a rigid nozzle option.
- Components including indexes, bonnets, packing nut and swivel nuts have distinctive new look. Lever and wrist-action handles feature streamlined design.
The B-1100 series of workboard faucets, available in 150 models to accommodate a variety of applications, is ideal for handwashing sinks, bar sinks, prep tables with sinks and blender stations.
New universal deck plates
The company has also released new universal deck plates that make upgrading faucets easier with the limitations of existing sink configurations.
The deck plates allow a single-shank product — like single-lever faucets or many of T&S ChekPoint™ line of water- and energy-saving sensor faucets — to be installed in nearly any sink by smoothly covering and sealing unused holes.
Newly designed mounting hardware holds the plates securely in place, and heavy-duty, forged-brass construction ensures long-lasting durability.
A change in size makes the vandal-resistant deck plates adaptable to nearly every sink configuration, and gaskets provide a tight seal and smooth fit and finish. The deck plates also include threaded studs and flange nuts.
Deck plates, available in 4-inch (model no. 013433-40) and 8-inch (model no. 013434-40) versions, are fully compatible with T&S’ line of vandal-resistant faucet models.
