Oatey 800-209LF Bubble-stream Aerator 1.5 Gpm

Product Description

The OATEY 800-209LF is a lead-free bubble-stream faucet aerator rated at 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM). It delivers a soft, aerated laminar stream well suited for residential and light commercial lavatory applications. The lead-free construction meets current potable water compliance requirements, making it appropriate for installations subject to lead-free plumbing codes. At 0.07 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it installs quickly as a direct replacement on standard faucet spouts. Plumbers and fixture installers typically keep this aerator on hand for retrofit and new-construction work where water conservation or code compliance requires a low-flow outlet device.

The 800-209LF is designed for use on lavatory faucets in residential bathrooms, commercial restrooms, and similar potable water fixture applications. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate wherever a 1.5 GPM bubble-stream aerator is required to meet WaterSense or local water-efficiency ordinances. No specific compatible faucet model families are stated by the manufacturer in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Faucet aerators are typically installed or replaced by licensed plumbers or qualified fixture technicians. Shut off the water supply to the fixture before removal of the existing aerator to avoid unintended discharge. Use an aerator key or strap wrench to avoid damaging the aerator housing or faucet spout finish. Installation must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and lead-free requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act and state equivalents.
