"The new HyTronic® with TempShield® represents the next generation of safe, efficient faucet design for healthcare environments," said Greg Hunt, Product Manager at Chicago Faucets. "By integrating scald protection directly into the spout, we're minimizing water stagnation risks and simplifying installation — all while supporting sustainability with a 0.50 GPM flow rate and a clean, non-aerosolizing laminar stream. It's a smart solution for both patients and the people who care for them."
HyTronic® TempShield®: Engineered for Safer Handwashing:
Designed specifically for healthcare environments, the HyTronic TempShield faucets integrate a thermostatic ASSE 1070-compliant mixing valve directly into the spout. This at-the-source temperature control minimizes the water's path to the user, helping reduce the risk of bacterial growth and biofilm that can occur in long under-deck supply lines.
Other key safety and performance features include:
- Proven sensor for touchless activation to reduce contact contamination
- Anti-scald protection – at spout with built-in ASSE-certified thermostatic valve.
- Multiple hygiene flush options via the CF Connect app.
- Long-Term Battery or Emergency Back-Up Power Options are also available in addition to AC or DC.
- Non-aerating laminar spray outlet to reduce splash and aerosolization
- Durable all-brass construction for longevity in demanding settings
Sustainability and Safety Without Compromise
HyTronic TempShield is available in traditional, contemporary and gooseneck spout styles. The contemporary and traditional HyTronic TempShield models feature a 0.50 GPM flow rate, ideal for facilities aiming to reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance. The faucet's non-splashing laminar stream also helps maintain a clean and safe sink environment — an important consideration in patient care areas. The far reach 6" gooseneck model is available with user temperature control at 1.50GPM flow rate.
In addition to the HyTronic TempShield faucets, attendees can explore Chicago Faucets' full range of patient safety plumbing products at booth 542, including the Auto-Drain® shower system (with both regular flow and sustainable models), combination emergency 8450 Series eyewash and faucet, and the ligature resistant line of ELR faucets and LSR showers.
