NC-2009 WEc3: Water Use Reduction
Regarding a residential kitchen sink that has a faucet and a spray nozzle, would the spray nozzle be measured against the baseline flow rate of a kitchen faucet or a pre-rinse spray valve? I assume it would be compared to a kitchen faucet. Thanks.

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Hi Erin,
You would be measured against a baseline kitchen faucet. The pre-rinse spray valve requirement applies to commercial kitchen equipment and the flow rate must be 1.6 gpm or less in order for this fixture to comply.
Hope this helps!
