Installation is performed by a licensed plumber during new fixture assembly or routine valve maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MT040 is suited for use in self-closing faucet bodies commonly found in commercial restrooms, public facilities, and institutional settings where water conservation and hands-free operation are priorities.
