Aviation Water Faucets
Weight and passenger comfort are two mostly conflicting factors in air transporation, and a point where it becomes very obvious is in the lavatory. Water is heavy, so the less you transport, the better. Yet, water is an important comfort factor even in the lavatory, and you want your passengers to feel they are getting all they need. For that reason, the water faucets on board are very different from the ones in your house. The best ones dispense measured quantities of water, yet make it feel like a lot, without requiring an engineering degree to operate.
EAI Wall Mount Faucet
(available in single and dual temperature)
Erie Aviation, Inc, has several options in the lavatory for faucets, first is our front (wall) mounted application with push cap and satin (matte) chrome surface finish. The EAI PMA lavatory faucet is a hyraulically-controlled metering faucet for warm and/or cold water supply that is "Made in USA - Erie, PA". It includes two models of wall-mounted faucets, single and dual temperature, for pressurized water systems.
They are a direct replacement on most Airbus aircraft, Embraer's E170/190 series of Regional Jets and on Bombardier's CRJ900 Next Generation Jets.
These self-closing, hydraulically-timed faucets meter the amount of water dispensed - usually set for around 10 seconds. Most are used in systems with hot and cold water supply, so they let the passenger choose the desired temperature by turning the activation knob on the front.
Adams Rite Conversion Bracket with EAI Wall Mount Faucet
We also offer a faucet retrofit program that uses our wall-mounted PMA faucet on a PMA-certified bracket. This bracket installs directly into the current wall cutouts for replacement of Adams Rite faucet's P/Ns: 9810, 9819, and 9834.

Our conversion bracket installs in minutes! Once it is in place in the lavatory, there is no longer a reason to get under the sink to replace or service the faucet, other than shutting off the water supply. This is due to our bracket assembly making all of the aircraft side connections, for the water and drain. The EAI faucet then attaches via "Quick Connects" to the hose nipples that are on the bracket, by means of set screws located on tthe bottom of the faucet.
CRJ900 Atmosphere Conversion Bracket
with EAI Wall Mount Faucet
Next up is our retrofit Bracket for the CRJ900 Atmosphere aircraft. This bracket follows the same basic idea as our Adams Rite retrofit, once installed. Faucet removal for service only takes minutes compared to the hours this currently takes. The water connection is made to the bracket, then the EAI faucet attaches to "Quick Connects" to the water supply nipples that are on the bracket by means of set screws located on the bottom of the faucet.
EAI-2003 Surface Mount Lavatory Faucet
Last up in the line of EAI Lavatory faucets is the EAI-2003 Surface Mount Faucet. This unit can be used in a pump-activated system like the CRJ200 that uses a micro switch to turn the pump on to start the flow of water. This faucet can also be used in a gravity fed system like the ERJ145 that does not need electric to start water flowing into the lavatory and simply relies on gravity to do so. Pressing the "PUSH" button starts the flow of water and it stops once the button is no longer pressed. Like the EAI wall mount faucets, the EAI Surface Mount is "Made in USA - Erie, PA".
