American Standard Serin Touchless Faucet, Base Model, 0.5 gpm/1.9 Lpm - AMS-206B115

The Serin touchless faucet base model is just the faucet. It runs on a modular platform: you separately order a control box (solenoid or thermostatic mixing valve) and a power supply, and each component is sold separately. There are 5 power options to choose from. Budget for the faucet plus a control box plus power on every opening, or the faucet will arrive unable to run.

Yes, with a deck plate. The Serin touchless faucet is a single-hole installation, but it accommodates multi-hole decks using an optional 4-inch or 8-inch deck plate, ordered separately. Match the plate to your hole spacing: 4-inch centerset decks take the 4-inch plate, 8-inch widespread decks take the 8-inch.

Both are handled in the programming on the Serin touchless faucet. An auto shut-off safety timer closes the valve after 55 seconds, which prevents overflow if something blocks the sensor. Auto purge can be set to open the faucet a preset interval after last use, flushing stagnant water out of the faucet and supply lines, which is the feature facilities with intermittently used fixtures care about.

That depends on whether the sink needs tempered water. The solenoid box simply opens and closes flow, so the temperature is whatever you feed it, which works where a single supply or an upstream mixing valve already sets the temperature. The thermostatic mixing valve box blends hot and cold at the fixture and holds a set outlet temperature, which is what you want on a public lavatory where scald protection is required at the point of use. One or the other is required with the Serin faucet; they are not both included.

The sensor sits in the tip of the spout and detects hand motion to turn the water on and off. Nothing is mounted on the deck or the sink basin for sensing, so there is no separate eye to aim or keep clean below the spout. Settings can be adjusted with an optional remote control.

The Serin touchless faucet is classified commercial, and it is a non-luxury line item, which is what most facility and multi-family standardization programs are built around. The 0.5 gpm / 1.9 Lpm flow is a commercial-restroom flow rate rather than a kitchen production rate, so keep that in mind if you are putting it on a pot-filling sink.

Two finishes. Chrome is model 206B115.002 and brushed nickel is 206B115.295. If you are standardizing across a building, order the same suffix on every opening so the deck plates and any later replacements match.

Yes, and that is the point of the modular platform. The faucet style, the control box, and the power supply are specified independently, so you can run the same Serin spout and finish across a facility while giving individual rooms a mixing valve box or a different power option as the rough-in allows. Keep the finish code consistent (chrome .002 or brushed nickel .295) and vary only the components behind the wall.

Stated dimensions are 4.252 inches height, 17.126 inches length, and 10.394 inches width, with a product weight of 3.219 pounds. The low height is worth checking against the bowl you are mounting it over if the user needs to fill tall containers.
