With 50,000 to 100,000 people going through it on a daily basis, water efficiency and hygiene were paramount. The new flushometers reduce water volume by more than 30 percent with their dual- or single-flush high efficiency option. Additionally, hands-free sensor operations on the station\u2019s water closets promote hygiene in the facility.<\/p>\n<p>The new faucets installed provided the station with an intelligent and touch-free product. The sensor-activated faucet provides efficient water savings and a polished chrome aesthetic finish as the train station continues its trend toward automatic restroom applications.<\/p>\n<p>The flushometers provided similar benefits when the train station\u2014listed on the National Register of Historic Places\u2014decided to retrofit its existing royal flushometers on its urinals. With it hands-free operation, the electronic flushometer automatically operates by an infrared sensor for high and low target detection in both the station\u2019s public restrooms and its executive office area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Known as the \u2018last of the great train stations,\u2019 the Los Angeles Union Station has stood as one of the city\u2019s architectural icons since 1939.
