Bristan has continued its concerted focus on the commercial sector with the introduction of the softest touch timed-flow taps on the market to date.
Ideal for schools or healthcare applications, the new soft-touch push-button range requires only a very light touch to operate compared to standard models. This makes the range especially suitable for applications where very young, old or less-able people are a key consideration, and ease of use is imperative.
Water-saving is accounted for with an integrated time flow valve restricting use to a 9-20 second shut off period after activation, depending on incoming water pressure. Given that a typical basin tap running at a mains pressure can easily deliver 12 litres per minute, the result is vast scope for water savings and assured BREEAM compliance when the included six litres/min flow regulator is fitted. In addition, there is the benefit of reduced maintenance as the risk of flooding from taps being left running is eliminated.
Chris Tranter, product manager at Bristan, said: “Inherently, a lot of previous push-button, automatic shut-off taps have been very difficult to press, thus causing issues in buildings where occupants are more vulnerable such as schools and care homes.
“Our new tap range has been designed to alleviate this issue, offering the softest touch mechanism on the market to ensure the easiest operation. Plus, sustainability is also assured with the time flow helping to massively reduce water consumption while, in turn, the six litre/min flow regulator ensures BREEAM compliance.
“With several sleek, smart designs, our new soft-touch tap range is the ultimate choice for schools, healthcare providers, leisure centres and all public places where duty of care and sustainability is imperative.”
In keeping with Bristan’s ethos on combining substance with style, the range comprises a modern chrome design guaranteed to complement all commercial setups. Further features include easy cleaning and maintenance, ease of installation for retrofit applications and a one-year guarantee.
