Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SANI-LAV from 3G Electric.
What types of wash stations and hand sinks does SANI-LAV manufacture?
SANI-LAV produces wall-mounted hand sinks, freestanding wash stations, portable units, and multi-station wash troughs. Many are constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel with welded seams and finishes designed for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The fixtures are commonly used in food processing, healthcare, laboratories, and industrial facilities where hygiene and durability are priorities. Activation options include manual, foot pedal, and knee pedal configurations.
What replacement parts are available for SANI-LAV foot pedal and knee pedal faucet systems?
The replacement parts line includes foot pedals, knee pedals, valve bodies, and valve repair kits. Examples include the 1041 stainless steel replacement foot pedal, the 1043 stainless steel replacement knee pedal, the 106L brass nickel-plated foot pedal with 1/2 in NPT connection, the 1057 and 1058 brass nickel-plated valve bodies for 100 Series systems, and the 1061S and 1061L valve repair kits. These parts are specified by material, finish, connection size, and compatibility with SANI-LAV faucet assemblies.
What are the specifications of the SANI-LAV W12 garden hose washer?
The SANI-LAV W12 is a Viton garden hose washer in blue, rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 psi at 70°F and a temperature range of 40° to 200°F. It is designed for 3/4 in hose I.D. and is supplied in packs of 12. This washer is used to create leak-proof seals between hoses and fittings in water supply and washdown applications. Viton construction provides resistance to many chemicals and elevated temperatures.
How do I identify the correct SANI-LAV valve repair kit for my faucet system?
Valve repair kits are identified by model number and series compatibility. The 1061S kit includes a 1053S plunger, 1055S insert, and spring, with an overall width of 1 in, and is constructed of stainless steel. The 1061L kit includes a plunger assembly and stainless steel spring, constructed of brass and stainless steel with a nickel and stainless steel finish and NPT connections. Matching the kit to the faucet series and valve body model ensures proper fit and function.
What materials are used in SANI-LAV faucet valve bodies and pedals?
SANI-LAV valve bodies are typically brass with a nickel-plated finish, such as the 1057 and 1058 models, which feature 1/2 in NPT inlet connections. Foot and knee pedals are available in stainless steel or brass with nickel plating. For example, the 1041 and 1043 pedals are stainless steel, while the 106L pedal is brass with a nickel-plated finish. These material choices are intended to resist corrosion and wear in frequent-use environments.
Where are SANI-LAV hands-free wash stations commonly used?
SANI-LAV hands-free wash stations are used in food processing, healthcare, laboratories, cleanrooms, and industrial manufacturing. Foot pedal and knee pedal activation reduces contact with faucet handles, which supports hygiene practices in shared wash areas. Stainless steel construction allows the fixtures to withstand frequent cleaning and exposure to moisture. These stations are also used in commercial kitchens and institutional facilities where durable, hands-free washing is required.
