This single-lever basin mixer tap is installed at hand wash stations and preparation sinks in commercial kitchens. It supplies controlled hot and cold water mixing for hygiene compliance areas. Operators adjust flow and temperature with one hand during food handling workflows.
Commercial Application
Hygiene stations require fast water control between food prep stages. Single-lever operation allows temperature and flow adjustment without cross-contamination from multiple contact points. Brass body construction withstands high-frequency daily use in wet environments.
Installed at entry points to prep zones and adjacent to cooking stations where hand washing intervals are frequent. The 35mm ceramic cartridge maintains consistent mixing ratios under variable mains pressure. Zinc lever operates through 180-degree arc for immediate shutoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What mains pressure range does this tap operate under?
A: The 35mm ceramic cartridge functions between 0.5 and 6 bar mains pressure. Flow rate varies from 8 to 18 litres per minute depending on supply pressure. Pressure-reducing valves are recommended above 5 bar to extend cartridge service life.
Q: What thread size are the inlet connections?
A: Both hot and cold inlets use G1/2 BSP threads. Two 400mm stainless steel 304 braided hoses with G1/2 female connections are supplied with the tap. Standard UK isolation valves with 15mm compression or G1/2 male threads connect directly.
Q: Can this tap be repaired if the cartridge fails?
A: Yes. The 35mm ceramic cartridge is a replaceable component held by a retaining nut under the lever assembly. TurcoBazaar stocks replacement cartridges for next-day UK dispatch. Typical cartridge replacement takes 15 minutes with basic hand tools.
Q: Is the tap suitable for three-compartment sink installations?
A: Yes. Multiple units can be installed on adjacent basins where independent temperature control is required at each station. Inlet hoses are 400mm long to accommodate under-sink pipework routing between multiple taps.
Q: What basin deck thickness will this tap fit?
A: The threaded shank and fixing nut accommodate basin decks between 25mm and 40mm thick. A rubber sealing washer is included to compress against the basin surface. Stainless steel reinforcement plates are recommended for thin-gauge stainless steel basins under 1.2mm.
