Fixtures & Water HeatersQuestion 79 of 120
A public restroom is fitted with metering faucets. What is the maximum volume of water each faucet may deliver per metering cycle?
a.0.25 gallon
b.0.5 gallon
c.1.0 gallon
d.0.125 gallon
Explanation
Public metering faucets are limited to 0.25 gallon per metering cycle, which is a volume limit rather than a flow rate limit because the valve shuts itself off. 0.5 gallon and 1.0 gallon are urinal flush volumes, not faucet cycle volumes. 0.125 gallon is half the allowance and is not a code figure.
