The Zodex 10273000 is a single-lever basin mixer tap with chrome finish for professional handwashing and hygiene stations in commercial kitchens. Built with solid brass body and 35mm ceramic cartridge. Operated by front-of-house staff, kitchen porters, and food preparation teams in restaurants, hotels, bakeries, and catering facilities.
Commercial Application
Handwashing stations require frequent daily use across multiple shifts. Single-lever operation allows touch-free elbow activation when hands are contaminated. Temperature mixing occurs within the cartridge body rather than at basin level.
Flow control happens during prep cycles, between service periods, and throughout cleaning protocols. The 35mm cartridge regulates water delivery without requiring grip adjustment. Chrome surface resists buildup from repeated soap contact and facilitates end-of-day wipe-down.
Key Operational Advantages
- Solid brass body withstands repeated lever actuation across 12-16 hour service days
- 35mm ceramic cartridge provides quarter-turn operation from cold to hot
- Chrome electroplating resists tarnishing in high-humidity kitchen environments
- 40cm stainless steel 304 inlet hoses with G1/2 connections fit standard UK basin installations
- Zinc alloy lever handle accepts elbow pressure without requiring hand contact
- Plastic aerator reduces splash at basin edge during rapid handwashing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What flow rate does the 35mm cartridge deliver?
A: The ceramic disc cartridge regulates flow between 4 and 8 litres per minute depending on incoming mains pressure. Quarter-turn lever travel controls output volume. Full hot or cold delivery occurs at 90-degree lever position.
Q: What inlet connection size does the tap require?
A: The unit accepts G1/2 BSP threaded connections standard to UK basin installations. Two 40cm stainless steel 304 flexible hoses are included for hot and cold supply lines.
Q: How is the lever operated during food preparation?
A: The zinc lever accepts elbow pressure for hands-free activation when gloves are contaminated. Quarter-turn from vertical position delivers mixed temperature water. Lever returns to off position under spring tension.
Q: What is the replacement interval for the ceramic cartridge?
A: Ceramic disc cartridges typically require replacement after 200,000 to 300,000 actuation cycles in commercial use. High-volume kitchens operating 15-hour days may reach this threshold within 18 to 24 months.
Q: Does the chrome finish withstand commercial cleaning chemicals?
A: Chrome electroplating resists alkaline degreasers and quaternary ammonium sanitizers used in kitchen hygiene protocols. Abrasive scouring pads will scratch the surface and should be avoided during wipe-down.
