Product Certification Installation System<br />
Kindred Commercial strongly believes in product certification. We strive<br />
to have our products designed and certified to meet all applicable<br />
standards. Certification marks are important as they offer peace of mind<br />
to installers, specifiers and consumers alike that the product has been<br />
independently tested and certified to meet the recognized standards for<br />
safety and/or performance, of the recognized certification bodies in<br />
North America.<br />
IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials),<br />
NSF and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) are among the leaders<br />
for Standards Development Organizations in North America. These<br />
organizations are accredited by ANSI American National Standards<br />
Institute (ANSI) and Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to certify<br />
plumbing fixtures.<br />
NEW HARMONIZED STANDARD PUBLISHED<br />
CSA and IAPMO, the two leading Standards Development Organizations<br />
entered into a joint agreement to harmonize the Canadian CSA B45.4<br />
and the ASME A112.19.3 series of standards into one bi-national<br />
standard. The agreement was designed to help streamline the testing<br />
and certification process for stainless steel plumbing fixtures.<br />
The new harmonized standards for stainless steel plumbing fixtures<br />
(ASME A112.19.3-2008 / CSAB45.4-08) have been published and are<br />
available for purchase on both the CSA and ASME websites.<br />

Universal Installation System (UIS)<br />
Kindred Commercial developed the UIS to accommodate a unique<br />
market preference. There are many trades people who choose to<br />
preinstall faucets to the sink ledge before mounting the sink into the<br />
countertop. This meant that a separate part number would be ordered<br />
to allow for this installation method. Our Product Development<br />
Engineers got to work on a solution to meet the different sink<br />
installation needs of plumbers and installers throughout North<br />
America. The upshot of their months of development is the Universal<br />
Installation System (UIS).<br />
The UIS allows a faucet to be pre-mounted directly to the sink deck<br />
before installation. The specially designed fastening system effectively<br />
pulls down the back ledge of the sink for a tight, secure fit. Our EZ<br />
Clamp system pulls down the other three sink sides for a sturdy, simple<br />
and efficient sink and faucet installation process from start to finish.<br />
These clips accommodate a wide variety of countertop thicknesses,<br />
from ½” to 2 ¼”. Everything you need for installing the sink is in the<br />
box. Another great feature is the bolt on the clips have 3 drive<br />
options which allows the use of power driver:<br />
- Robertson<br />
- Slot<br />
- Hex 3/8”<br />
This new mounting system is truly universal; it allows for the<br />
installation of the faucet either through the countertop or just through<br />
the sink ledge. The UIS clips have a very low profile, so they do not<br />
get in the way during a traditional drop-in installation. The template<br />
provided in the box accommodates both installation methods.<br />
