Express®MG Lavatory System
Express®MG is the newest of Bradley's Lavatory Systems. The Express®MG incorporates the conveniences of the Express with a new softer, innovative design. Durable construction of Bradley's Terreon solid surface and stainless steel access panel increase vandal resistance while providing a contemporary flowing design. The Express®MG meets multiple codes in a single spec including ADA, ANSI, UFAS and Department of Energy water conservation requirements. Like the Express, the Express®MG was engineered to save time on specification, installation, cleaning and maintenance.
Specification – With a single spec, each fixture provides up to three individual universally accessible touch-activated or "no-touch" hand-washing stations.
Installation – The modular fixture requires less than 30 connections, compared to over 90 for 3 conventional lavs.
Cleaning – Bowl design is one continuous surface with rounded corners. Sprayhead and end caps are comprised of low maintenance, vandal resistant Terreon. Connections are concealed within the fixture's pedestal to eliminate tight crevices and prevent tampering. Optional integral liquid soap systems drain into the bowl, not onto the floor. This feature keeps restrooms cleaner and safer.
Maintenance – Valves are virtually maintenance-free. Your choice of time-proven Infrared electronic metering control or reliable mechanical push-button control that uses air – not water – as the operating and timing medium.

The Express®MG is a unique alternative to ordinary china lavs. Why not specify the Express®MG for your next restroom application?

Specifications:

Accommodates one to three users. Units handle washroom traffic quickly and economically while providing each user with their own personal space. Lavatories for the system are positioned on 30" centers. The preassembled sprayhead module is equipped with independent aerators, each served by separate infrared sensing module and solenoid valve (Model MG-3/IR) or pushbutton air metering valve (Model MG-3/AST).

Construction

Bowl, Sprayhead and Pedestal End Caps
Constructed of NAHB Certified Terreon®, a densified solid surface material composed of polyester resin. Terreon® is resistant to chemicals, stains, burns and impact. Surface damage can easily be repaired with everyday cleansers or fine grit abrasives.

Support Frame and Access Panel
Bowl assembly and pedestal end caps are secured to a heavy-gauge stainless steel support frame mounted to the wall. The contoured front access panel is constructed of 300 series stainless steel.

Vandal Resistance

The molded solid surface sprayhead is an integral part of the bowl module. A free spinning collar protects the aerator from vandalism. The infrared sensor will automatically shut off water flow after 30-45 seconds if a vandal attempts to trigger constant operation by covering the sensor, or by placing a stationary object in the sensor’s detection area. Pushbuttons are secured to the unit from inside the sprayhead. Air valves, water supplies and waste are concealed within the pedestal/support frame assembly.

Mounting Height Options

Standard Height Mounting ADA Compliant
The Express Lavatory System model MG-3 mounted at standard height is designed to comply with all ADA guidelines on reaches, clearances and operation. To comply with ADA, the rim height of the Express Lavatory System bowl must be 34" maximum above the finished floor.

Juvenile Height Mounting
The Express Lavatory System model MG-3 must have a rim height no higher than 31" above finished floor to be compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities: Building Elements Designed for Children’s Use, Final Rule. Always check local codes for compliance.

Standard Equipment
Bowl with three lavatories, pedestal, stainless steel mounting frame (as described at left), 110/24 VAC plug-in transformer (Model MG-3/IR) and the following fittings: P-trap; tailpiece; two flexible stainless steel supply connections; and Vernatherm™ thermostatic mixing valve with combination stop, strainer and check valves.

Activation Controls

Infrared Sensor (Model MG-3/IR)

The sensor module uses a conical infrared transmitting beam, creating a detection area not exceeding the bowl perimeter. Adaptive-style sensor shall learn installation environment upon power-up and react (activate) when the user’s hands enter the detection area. A timing turn-off delay of 2-3 seconds results in a smooth, controlled hand-washing operation. The Bradley adaptive sensor is not affected by varying color tones or darkness. Direct sunlight or bright washroom lights (up to 10,000 foot candles) will not activate the system.

Solenoids – 24V, 50/60 Hz, 1/8" NPT. The electronically activated solenoid valve provides reliable performance since there are few moving parts, and its operation is unaffected by most chemicals and minerals often present in municipal water supplies. Neither the solenoid valve nor the infrared sensor module need adjustment for range or timing.

• Low-voltage Transformer – A Class II, UL/CSA-listed 110/24 VAC, plug-in transformer powers the solenoid valves. The transformer, furnished as standard equipment, plugs into a standard GFCI electrical outlet.

Pushbutton Control (Model MG-3/AST)
Each pushbutton activates a non-hold-open air valve with field adjustable timing from 5–60 seconds. Factory set at 10 seconds. Each pushbutton activates one valve which, in turn, activates one hand washing station.

Flow control rate
Operating range 20-100 PSI. Flow restrictor keeps flow rate constant at all pressures. Flow rate: 0.5 GPM.

Optional Soap Dispensers
Two horizontally mounted pump style valves are located over the drains. Soap tank is located within the stainless steel frame. Soap tank is refillable through an easily accessible exterior filler cap. Filler cap is vandal resistant and opens with special spanner wrench included. Soap tank capacity is 3/4 of a gallon.
