It has a stationary spout with a 4-inch reach, and it has integrated supply hoses with 3/8-inch compression connections. This faucet meets WaterSense criteria to conserve water without sacrificing performance, and it is also ADA compliant.

WaterSense Labeled Faucet

WaterSense is a program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote water efficiency (it is similar in nature to the EPA’s Energy Star program). Plumbing fixtures and faucets that qualify for the WaterSense label assure you of actual water savings and strict performance standards.

The Alteo offers a flow rate of 1.5 gallons-per-minute (GPM), which is 30 percent less than the federal mandate of 2.2 GPM–making it eligible for the WaterSense label.
