Pre-Rinse Spray Valves
EPA is no longer pursuing an ENERGY STAR specification for pre-rinse spray valves due to Congress’s passing of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This action set a Federal minimum efficiency standard for pre-rinse spray valves at 1.6 gallons per minute, which is the level that EPA was proposing for ENERGY STAR.
