Delta Faucet Company

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Faucet Company has teamed up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with its WaterSense program to support the agency's fourth annual Fix a Leak Week campaign, March 12-18. Delta Faucet will host events in nine cities nationwide to address leaks and help save water in community facilities and low-income households by replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures with new, water-efficient showerheads, toilet flappers and faucet aerators.

Volunteers in nine cities across the country – Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle – will retrofit more than 1,900 units with new plumbing fixtures over the course of a week for an estimated savings of more than 7 million gallons of water annually. WaterSense-labeled showerheads, flowing at a water-efficient rate of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm), have been donated by Delta Faucet. In addition, BrassCraft Manufacturing, a leading plumbing supplier, has donated new toilet flappers for the project, which can be a common cause for leaks in toilets, and Neoperl, Inc., an innovator in flow control solutions, will supply WaterSense-labeled aerators at each installation site to promote water efficiency in existing faucets.

INDIANAPOLIS - Designed for performance, the understated and elegant ClassicTM bath series withstands the test of time in any setting. Delta Faucet revolutionized the plumbing industry with the introduction of the first single handle lavatory faucet in 1954. Fifty years later, after developing new technologies and designs, Delta Faucet refreshed its Classic single handle lavatory faucet, an industry icon, with an updated style and enhanced functionality. Updated with the revolutionary DIAMONDTM Seal Technology,  the bath series features practical, hardworking faucets.

"This was the first time since its inception that Delta Faucet made dramatic changes to the Classic single handle lavatory faucet," said Kurt Backlund, Delta brand senior product manager.  "We are taking the faucet that made the Delta brand a leader and updating it to increase its longevity and enhance the style."
