Bradley Corporation: EPD coverage at a glance
Bradley is a familiar name across commercial restrooms and industrial safety. They offer lots of specable gear, yet their product‑specific EPD footprint looks thin today. If your pipeline includes projects that prefer or require EPDs, this gap can quietly push a competitor to the front of the submittal stack.
Who Bradley is and what they sell
Bradley Corporation, now part of Watts Water Technologies, specializes in commercial washroom systems and industrial safety gear. Think lavatory systems, sensor faucets, soap and sanitizer dispensers, washfountains, showers, hand dryers, toilet partitions and lockers, plus emergency eyewash and drench showers for factories and labs.
Across these families, they serve multiple application settings like education, healthcare, transportation hubs, arenas, offices, and industrial sites.
How broad is the lineup
Across categories, Bradley’s catalog runs to many product families and likely hundreds of individual SKUs. They are not a pure play, they span several adjacent ranges, from solid‑surface lav decks to stainless fixtures and HDPE or phenolic partitions.
EPD coverage, today
As of December 25, 2025, we could not find current, publicly listed product‑specific EPDs for flagship Bradley categories such as sensor faucets, lavatory systems, partitions, or emergency fixtures in the major North American operator registries most spec teams check. If some exist outside those registries, they were not readily findable. That matters when owners or design teams screen for products with third‑party verified declarations.
Why this can hit specs
On projects targeting lower embodied impacts and LEED v5 criteria, teams often default to conservative values when a product lacks a product‑specific EPD. That creates a penalty in comparative models, so a functionally similar product with an EPD becomes the lower‑risk choice. The result is fewer at‑bats, especially in public and blue‑chip private work where procurement policies favor transparent, verified data.
Where competitors already show up with EPDs
Commercial sensor faucets and flush valves are a central Bradley battleground. Sloan publishes product‑specific EPDs that cover several faucet lines and flushometers, with validity windows extending well into the second half of the decade. TOTO lists multiple current EPDs for commercial faucets, urinals, and toilets through a recognized operator, again current deep into 2029. LIXIL brands in North America, including American Standard and GROHE, have sanitary‑ceramics EPDs in market. These documents make it easier for specifiers to select and keep those items through VE reviews.
Likely bestseller without an EPD, and the swap risk
Touchless handwashing systems and sensor faucets are signature Bradley offers in education and healthcare. If a project team requests an EPD for the faucet package and cannot find one, they will often pivot to a faucet family that has a live declaration, for example Sloan Optima lines or TOTO Ecopower variants, because it removes documentation friction and keeps materials scoring clean. That is a quiet place where revenue walks.
Partitions and safety gear, the sleeper gap
Toilet partitions and industrial emergency fixtures show up everywhere from stadiums to labs. EPDs exist in the market for comparable partitions from other brands, and some emergency equipment categories are beginning to see enviromental reporting too. If the restroom core is EPD‑covered but the partitions or safety station are not, specifiers can still be forced to mix brands.
Rough roadmap to close the gap fast
Start with the highest‑velocity, most frequently substituted items. That usually means sensor faucets and matching soap dispensers, then flush valves, then the top one or two lavatory system families. Next, add a representative EPD for partitions, focusing on the substrate with the most volume in your pipeline. If emergency fixtures are a meaningful share of revenue in regulated environments, queue a declaration for a top eyewash or drench shower assembly.
What to ask your LCA partner
Look for a team that makes data collection painless, coordinates cross‑plant utility pulls, and can publish with your preferred operator without adding project management burden to engineering or product teams. Sequencing matters, so push for a plan that delivers the first declarations in weeks, not quarters, and builds a repeatable template across adjacent families.
A note on sustainability comms
Bradley highlights broader sustainability efforts on its site. If an EPD program is in motion internally, put an estimated timeline and scope in that section so AEC teams see it during product research. Here is a useful jumping off point: Bradley Sustainability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bradley focus on a single product type or several ranges?
Several. They offer commercial lavatory systems, faucets, soap dispensers, hand dryers, showers, toilet partitions, lockers, and industrial emergency fixtures. That breadth means multiple PCR families are relevant when planning EPDs.
How many SKUs and categories does Bradley likely cover?
Across washroom, partitions, and safety products, the portfolio spans multiple categories with likely hundreds of SKUs. Exact counts vary by configuration and finish.
Where are the most commercially impactful EPD gaps today?
Sensor faucets and flush valves, high‑volume lavatory systems, and toilet partitions. These are frequently requested by specifiers and often substituted when an EPD is missing.
Which competitors commonly show up with EPDs in these categories?
Sloan for commercial faucets and flushometers, TOTO for faucets, urinals, and toilets, and LIXIL brands for sanitary ceramics. These are typical alternatives on education, healthcare, office, and public projects.
What publishing strategy helps Bradley catch up efficiently?
Prioritize one or two high‑runner SKUs per family to publish quickly, then roll templates across sibling models. Align on a single operator and PCR where feasible to speed updates and renewals.
