Danco 9D00012070 Watersense 1.2 Gpm Aerator Insert

Product Description

The DANCO 9D00012070 is a WaterSense-certified aerator insert rated at 1.2 gallons per minute (GPM), designed as a water-conserving replacement or upgrade component for standard residential faucet aerators. The insert reduces flow from higher-GPM aerators while maintaining acceptable pressure and stream quality for handwashing and general use. Weighing approximately 0.083 pounds, it is a compact, drop-in style component that plumbers and plumbing technicians install during faucet service, renovation work, or water-efficiency retrofits. Its WaterSense certification confirms it meets EPA flow and performance standards.

This aerator insert is suited for residential bathroom and kitchen faucet applications where reducing water consumption is a priority. It is commonly specified in water-efficiency upgrade projects, rental property retrofits, and new construction where WaterSense compliance is required by local code. The insert is sold individually, making it practical for single-fixture service calls as well as multi-unit replacement projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or experienced plumbing technician. Shut off the faucet supply before beginning work and relieve any pressure at the spout. Use aerator removal tools or appropriately sized pliers with a cloth to avoid scratching the faucet finish. Verify the insert seats fully and flush the line briefly after reassembly to confirm proper flow and no leakage.
