Plumbing Fixture & Faucet Testing

The following is a list of our Plumbing & Faucet tests. These tests are used to pre-qualify the characteristics of both Metal & Plastic Shower assemblies prior to installation. Faucet & Shower systems are put through vigorous impulse shocks and are used to qualify the product(s) for long-term life performance. Chrome & Abrasion analyses are extensive and will determine if a coating or substance will last long-term.

  • Air Admittance Valve Assemblies
  • Faucet & Valves (swing-spout, side-spray, etc.)
  • Back-Flow Preventers
  • Mixing and Diverter Valves
  • Toxicity to EPA, IAPMO & NSF
  • Shower Assemblies
  • Thermo-static Mixing Valves
  • Flexible Water Connectors
  • Plumbing Fixtures
