Sonoma Forge, manufacturer of hand-forged bath fixtures inspired by humble plumbing parts, improves on the touch-free faucet with SansHands. One of the few hands-free faucets for the home, SansHands deftly melds the modern, hygienic convenience of touchless technology with the company’s rustic, artisan-crafted design aesthetic. And it’s even more unique in its operation: It uses electromagnetism rather than visible sensors, a vast improvement over outdated, infrared systems.

SansHands technology combines a low-voltage current with an electromagnetic field. When users approach the faucet, they break the electromagnetic field which opens the faucet valve and starts the flow of water; when the user walks away, the water stops.

“Bacteria and viruses can remain on faucet handles for days. By eliminating the need to touch the handles or spout, SansHands offers better hygiene and can help reduce the spread of harmful germs,” says Erik Ambjor, Sonoma Forge President. “Plus, with no handles to collect water and soapy buildup, going hands free can reduce cleaning needs in the bathroom.”

SansHands comes in wall- and deck-mount options in several of Sonoma Forge’s modern industrial styles, including the versatile WherEver series, evoking the unpretentious forms of well pumps; the rugged CiXX collection, whose hand-hammered texture celebrates a blacksmith’s labor; and the strikingly modern Strap line, inspired by the simplicity of a common U-bolt fastener. Sans Hands is also ideal for hospitality and commercial environments.
