What Is the Solis 8111 RW Exposed Sensor Water Closet Flushometer?

The Solis 8111 RW Exposed Sensor Water Closet Flushometer is an automatic flushing system built specifically for water closets that operate using reclaimed water. It uses sensor technology to activate flushing without physical contact, helping improve hygiene and reduce water waste in commercial environments.

Within Deluxe Plumbing Supplies, this solution is frequently selected for projects requiring reliable sensor-based operation and sustainable plumbing installations.

How Does the Sensor-Based Flushing System Work?

The unit uses an infrared sensor that detects user presence and activates flushing automatically after use. This touch-free mechanism reduces surface contact and supports cleaner restroom environments.

The sensing system improves efficiency in modern Flush Valves installations where consistent operation is required in high-traffic facilities. Advanced sensing technology also helps reduce unnecessary flush cycles.
