The EQ2801A is a deck-mounted pre-rinse spray unit with dual inlet configuration for hot and cold water supply. Installed at 1000mm height with spring-action gooseneck hose rated at 950mm reach. Operated by kitchen porters and prep staff during high-volume dishware rinsing cycles.
Commercial Application
Pre-rinse units remove food debris before mechanical dishwashing. Manual rinsing reduces chemical detergent load and extends warewasher pump life. Dual inlet enables temperature control during grease removal.
Station operates throughout service hours at pot wash and dish prep areas. 660mm spring length maintains hose position during repeated use. Ceramic cartridge design reduces water hammer during rapid valve operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in the EQ2801A construction?
A: Unit fabricated from 304-grade stainless steel with 18/10 chromium-nickel composition. Material meets food contact standards under CE, NSF and CSA protocols for commercial kitchen applications.
Q: What water pressure range does the dual inlet system require?
A: Operates at inlet pressures from 2.0 to 6.0 bar. Flow rate reaches 12 litres per minute at 3.5 bar with both hot and cold inlets open. Pressure balancing valve recommended for supply lines exceeding 5.0 bar.
Q: Can the 1000mm height be adjusted after deck mounting?
A: Height fixed at 1000mm from deck surface to spray head at rest position. Gooseneck reach extends 950mm from post centre when fully extended. No post-installation height adjustment available in deck-mount configuration.
Q: What is the replacement interval for the ceramic cartridge valve?
A: Cartridge rated for 500,000 operation cycles under normal commercial use. Typical replacement interval ranges from 18 to 36 months depending on daily cycle volume and water hardness. Replacement cartridge available as spare part EQ2801A-CART.
Q: Does the unit include a wall bracket for hose storage?
A: Spring mechanism maintains hose in elevated position without separate bracket. Optional wall hook available for additional support in high-traffic wash areas. Spring returns hose to vertical position within 2 seconds of release.
