The Chicago Faucet Company has unveiled its latest product line, the HyTronic® TempShield® Series, designed specifically for commercial use in healthcare and public restroom settings. This groundbreaking series features touchless faucets that integrate an ASSE 1070-certified thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) into each spout, enhancing safety and hygienic standards for both patients and staff in various facilities.
Enhanced Safety Features
One of the standout features of the HyTronic TempShield Series is the built-in scald protection, which is essential in environments where water temperature can fluctuate unexpectedly. With the thermostatic mixing valve embedded in the faucet body, the risk of scalding in healthcare settings is significantly minimized. This innovative design also reduces potential leak points from traditional faucet systems, decreasing infection risks while boosting overall hygiene.
Streamlined Installation Process
Another advantage of the HyTronic TempShield faucets is their simplified installation. These units require fewer connections compared to standard faucets, making setup quicker and more efficient for facility managers and contractors alike. The reduction of up to six leak points not only speeds up the installation process but also increases the reliability of the fixtures.
Advanced Technology and Flexibility
The HyTronic TempShield Series isn't just about safety; it also incorporates advanced technology. With built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, adjustments and operation mode changes can be effortlessly managed via the Chicago Faucets CF Connect app. Different operational modes include Normal Mode, Scrub Mode, Metering Mode, Water Saver Mode, Handwash Mode, Volume Mode, and Cleaning Mode, allowing for customizable user experiences based on specific needs.
The faucets are also designed with durability in mind, featuring low-lead brass construction and a chrome finish that can withstand the demands of high-traffic healthcare environments. Furthermore, the laminar flow design and programmable hygiene flush settings help maintain water quality and ensure the prevention of cross-contamination.
Versatile Styles for Every Setting
Available in three distinct spout designs—Gooseneck, Contemporary, and Traditional—the HyTronic TempShield Series caters to various aesthetic preferences while meeting the specifications of facility managers and designers. Each faucet also supports easy above-deck maintenance, simplifying routine checks and repairs.
Compliance and Industry Standards
The HyTronic TempShield faucets meet or exceed critical industry standards including ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, ADA ANSI/ICC A117.1, and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372, making them a compliant choice for healthcare and commercial projects.
According to Richard Nortier, Director of Marketing at Chicago Faucets, "The HyTronic TempShield Series represents a substantial evolution in touchless faucet technology tailored for healthcare facilities. By providing integrated scald protection and reducing possible leak points, we enhance safety and hygiene while easing installation and maintenance demands for our clients."

The HyTronic TempShield Series is now accessible for specification by architects, engineers, and designers involved in commercial and healthcare projects. For facility managers and contractors overseeing renovations or updates, these faucets are available through the Chicago Faucets distributors in the United States and Canada.
