Commercial taps need to withstand the continuous operation, knocks from pots and pans, and high-water temperatures found in busy foodservice environments. So, it is essential that they are manufactured to the highest quality, with professional use and ease of operation in mind. They offer several advantages over standard domestic taps, including:

Durability – commercial taps are made from high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, to withstand the heavy-duty use of a catering kitchen. They are also designed to be resistant to corrosion and rust, which is important in a humid environment.

Hygiene – designed to be easy to clean and maintain, which is essential for preventing the spread of bacteria in a catering kitchen. They typically have smooth surfaces and no hard-to-reach areas, making them easy to wipe down and sanitise.

Functionality – designed with features such as high flow rates, spray heads, and pull-down spouts, tasks such as washing dishes and filling pots are made much faster and easier.

Variety – available in an array of styles and sizes to suit the needs of any catering kitchen. Whether you need a tap for a single sink, or a multiple station wash area, there is a commercial tap that is right for you.

We always suggest that you buy taps with the WRAS symbol. WRAS checks the testing of thousands of water fittings products to ensure they comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Scottish Byelaws. The water fittings regulations protect drinking water supplies within plumbing systems in homes, businesses, and other properties.

We stock brands AquaTechnix, AquaJet, CaterTap, and Delabie – robust models and options to suit every application and include:

Pre-rinse taps are designed to help chefs quickly and easily remove food residue from dishes before they are washed in the dishwasher. This can help to improve the cleaning performance of the dishwasher and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Touchless taps can help to improve hygiene in the kitchen by reducing the amount of contact that staff need to have with the taps. This can be especially beneficial in busy kitchens where staff are constantly washing their hands.

Pull-down taps offer greater flexibility and range of motion than traditional taps. This can be helpful for tasks such as filling large pots or washing dishes in hard-to-reach areas.

Pot filler taps are designed to make it easy to fill large pots with water without having to carry them over to the sink. This can save time and effort and help to reduce the risk of accidents.
