We’re excited to share that Chicago Faucets has been recognized in two highly respected 2025 industry award programs—honoring products that help facilities operate safely, sustainably, and with greater confidence. These recognitions highlight the meaningful role our fittings play in labs, universities, healthcare campuses, and high-traffic buildings nationwide.
Below is a look at our award-winning products and why they stood out this year.
8450 Combination Eyewash Faucet with Lab Nozzle
Winner – 2025 Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) New Product of the Year Awards
Category: Lab Safety
Our 8450 Combination Eyewash Faucet with Lab Nozzle was named a 2025 OH&S New Product of the Year Winner in the Lab Safety category — a distinction that recognizes safety innovations designed specifically for laboratory environments where space, workflow, and immediate response matter.
Why It Won
The 8450 blends two essential functions into one compact fixture:
- A fully ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 compliant emergency eyewash
- A high-clearance, lab-appropriate faucet with a precision lab nozzle
This design allows labs to add critical emergency eyewash protection without needing a separate deck or floor-mounted unit—a major advantage in crowded science labs, research spaces, university STEM buildings, and healthcare labs.
This award reinforces the growing importance of compact, space-saving, safety-focused plumbing solutions—especially in environments where every square inch counts.

Category: Wellness, Sustainability & Resilience
Our HyTronic® TempShield® Touchless Faucet Series earned an Honorable Mention in the 2025 FacilitiesNet Vision Awards, recognized for its impact on wellness, sustainability, and long-term building resilience.

- Safer water temperatures

- Easier installation and maintenance
- Greater alignment with ASHRAE 188 and water-management practices
The honorable mention places TempShield® among standout innovations enhancing building wellness and safety.
