Oatey 800-202LF Bubble-stream Aerator 1.5 Gpm

Product Description

The OATEY 800-202LF is a lead-free bubble-stream faucet aerator rated at 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM). The aerator threads onto a standard faucet spout and mixes air into the water stream to produce a soft, non-splashing bubble-stream flow pattern. At 1.5 GPM, it meets WaterSense-aligned flow requirements commonly specified in commercial and residential plumbing installations. The unit ships as a complete pressure-compensating kit (PPK), providing consistent flow across a range of inlet pressures. Plumbers and fixture installers use this aerator as a code-compliant, water-conserving solution on lavatory and kitchen faucets.

This aerator is suited for residential and light commercial lavatory faucets where low-flow performance and lead-free construction are required. The bubble-stream flow pattern keeps water contained in the basin, reducing splash on counters and in public restroom settings. The PPK designation indicates a pressure-compensating design, making it appropriate for buildings with variable supply pressure. It is commonly installed during new construction, fixture replacement, or retrofit projects targeting water conservation compliance.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets current NSF and plumbing code requirements for potable water contact
• 1.5 GPM flow rate supports water conservation standards and low-flow fixture specifications
• Bubble-stream flow pattern reduces splash and improves usability at the basin
• Pressure-compensating kit (PPK) maintains consistent flow across varying inlet pressures
• Compact form factor fits standard faucet spout threads for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement or new-installation aerator for standard threaded faucet spouts in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified fixture installer. Shut off the water supply to the faucet before removing the existing aerator. Use an aerator key or slip-joint pliers with a cloth wrap to avoid marring the finish when threading the aerator onto the spout. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC and applicable state amendments, for low-flow fixture compliance.
