Engineered for Compliance, Built for Infection Control
Chicago Faucets is proud to expand its HyTronic® Patient Care line with the introduction of a new 8" Gooseneck Touchless Faucet — purpose-built for the unique demands of hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. With an extended spout reach and intelligent touchless design, this faucet delivers on two of healthcare’s top priorities: infection prevention and efficiency.
Why Faucet Reach Matters in Healthcare Design
It may seem like a small detail, but faucet reach can have a big impact on infection control and regulatory compliance. According to the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI), handwashing stations in patient care settings must have a minimum 6-inch spout reach to:
Allow for thorough scrubbing of hands and forearms
Prevent backsplash pooling, which can lead to bacterial growth
Reduce splash that may contaminate sterile surfaces or patient zones
Chicago Faucets' 8" Gooseneck HyTronic® not only meets but exceeds these FGI guidelines, giving architects, designers, and facility managers greater flexibility — especially when designing for deeper sinks, scrub stations, or sterile processing areas.
