PPG Paints Arena
PPG Paints Arena turned to Sloan to retrofit its restrooms in the main concourse restrooms, suites, and locker rooms to provide an entirely touch-free restroom experience throughout the entire facility—while also adding an enhanced aesthetic to its faucet designs.
As a facility managed by ASM Global—the world’s largest and most trusted venue management and services company—PPG Paints Arena’s specification of Sloan is emblematic of many ASM-managed facilities. In fact, Sloan has been announced as ASM’s North American Preferred Commercial Plumbing Systems Partner in an effort to enhance hygiene in over 300 venues.

A Touch-free Facility
With close to 20,000 fans entering the arena on game or event days, the restrooms at PPG Paints Arena experience a traffic surge during intermissions. The focal point of the retrofit was to replace manually-activated restroom products with hands-free sensor products to reduce touch points and mitigate the spread of germs and bacteria in the high-traffic restrooms.
PPG Paints Arena specified Sloan EBV-500-a Single-flush Side-mount Flushometers to retrofit existing toilet and urinal flushometers, as well as G2 8111 Exposed Sensor Flushometers for water closets throughout the entire arena. These touch-free flushometers offer greater hygiene with sensor activation by eliminating the need for flush valve handles.
Sloan BASYS® EFX-250 Sensor Faucets were also specified in the concourse, suites, and locker rooms to provide a stylish, safe handwashing experience for players and fans alike.
Steel City Aesthetics
While the Sloan BASYS Faucets provide touch-free handwashing, they also bring an added aesthetic element. Sloan’s sleek faucets are individually engraved with the Pittsburgh Penguins team logo to extend the team’s brand into the restroom.
