General Information<br />
ORDERING PROCESS<br />
The Kindred Commercial Securityware offering includes washroom fixtures, fittings and accessories for use in extreme<br />
use applications such as prisons and public restrooms. Fixtures are constructed of heavy 14 gauge, type 304 stainless<br />
steel, with seamless welds for high vandal resistance. Products are finished in easy to maintain satin, with hygienic mirror<br />
finish seats on water closets and combi units. Kindred Commercial Securityware standard valves are constructed of brass<br />
for superior longevity.<br />

CORROSION RESISTANCE INFORMATION<br />
In the presence of oxygen, stainless steel forms a protective chromium oxide film. This is due to the addition of chromium in excess of 11.5% during<br />
the alloying stage. The further addition of nickel, in excess of 7%, gives superior corrosion resistance to the 300 series.<br />
Maximum corrosion resistance is obtained with the addition of molybdenum to form TYPE 316, designed to resist attack under highly corrosive conditions.<br />
As implied, stainless steel requires oxygen in order to be stainless. There are ways to make oxygen more plentiful. For example, an acid solution which<br />
might otherwise corrode the steel, can be aerated to maintain the protective film.<br />
Corrosion, or rusting, often reported soon after installation, has two main causes:<br />
1. Contact Corrosion occurs when a piece of common carbon steel, copper, brass or other foreign material contacts the sink and destroys the passive<br />
protective film.<br />
2. Pitting or Pinhole Corrosion occurs when chlorides attack the steel forming pits where galvanic cells are created. Acid chlorides are particularly<br />
severe, but even chlorine bleach can cause failure. The fixture should be rinsed thoroughly after such contact.<br />
