MOEN’S COMMERCIAL DIVISION INTRODUCES
M•POWER™ PINT AND DUAL FLUSH VALVES
New Flush Valves Offer the Ultimate Combination of Water Savings
and Sanitary Protection for Commercial Environments
North Olmsted, Ohio…Beginning January 1, 2010, Moen Incorporated’s Commercial Division
will offer two new high-efficiency flush valve models – a Pint flush urinal and Dual flush closet
valve – as part of their M•Power™ line of sensor-operated faucets and flush valves. This line
offers an unparalleled combination of water savings and sanitary protection for commercial
restrooms. Pint and Dual flush valves promote water and energy savings, using as little water
possible while ensuring a safe and clean restroom environment. These flush valve models
require little or no maintenance and offer lower lifetime costs for your facility. As an added
benefit, installing new Pint or Dual flush valves can contribute toward a building’s eligibility for
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, earning the building up
to two points in the Water Use Reduction category.
Pint Flush Valve
For the highest possible water savings without utilizing waterless urinals, Pint flush valves use
only one pint of water per flush – an 88 percent savings from the industry standard 1.0 gallon
per minute (gpm) urinal flush valve. Moen Commercial’s Pint flush valves offer lower operation
and maintenance costs when compared to waterless models, and eliminate the odor issues
often associated with these products. The Pint flush valve’s infrared sensor beam activates a
flush cycle when the user is in range, ensuring efficient water use and the ultimate in sanitary
protection.
Dual Flush Valves
New Dual flush valves use advanced electronics to ensure that the right amount of water is
used for every flush, allowing facilities to conserve resources, decrease waste and limit overall
building and operating expenses. Dual flush valves rely on the timing of the user in the stall to
automatically determine the strength of the flush in commercial water closet applications,
reducing water usage by up to 37 percent without sacrificing performance. The sensoroperated valves allow the user to be in range for up to 60 seconds for a reduced 1.0 gallon
flush. After 60 seconds, a full 1.6 gallon flush is activated.
Moen ‘s Dual flush valves are available in a variety of efficient options, including low-powered
AC or DC adapters, plus retrofit kits for existing electronic or manual flush valves.
In addition, all of Moen’s flush valves feature:

Solid brass, chrome-plated construction to withstand constant use

Advanced electronics to limit false sensing and over-flushing

Piston technology to prevent water hammer, requiring little or no maintenance and
outlasting diaphragm valves

24-hour sentinel flush to keep the toilet clean and odor-free

Self-cleaning filter system to eliminate clogs and run-ons

Range of operating pressures, from 10 to 120 PSI

Mechanical manual override button which requires no power to activate, ensuring the
system is always operational

Self-lubricating silicone seals to prevent leaks, clogs and run-ons

Slow-closing solenoid to prevent “water hammer” and “hard close”

Each unit adjusts to left or right installation, saving time and money
Moen’s flush valves are built to withstand the harshest commercial and industrial environments
and are equipped with vandal-resistant stop valves and a shatter-proof polycarbonate lens
cover to protect the sensor eye. All Moen flush valves meet ADA-compliance requirements.
Moen Commercial products are virtually maintenance-free. All products are backed by Moen’s
outstanding five-year limited warranty, providing lower lifetime costs for your facility. Moen
