Faucets [4.19.5]

Faucets must:

  • be within reach range

  • be automatic or, if hand operated, operable with one hand

  • operate without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist

  • require no more than 5 lbf to activate

Lever-operated, push-type, and automatic controlled mechanisms are acceptable. Self-closing valves, if used, must remain open for at least 10 seconds so that sufficient time is given to people who may have limited arm or hand movement. Faucets that require continuous hand pressure for water flow cannot be used.
