Commercial Sink Taps
Commercial sink taps are heavy-duty mixer or lever taps designed for constant use in commercial kitchen sinks, built to withstand far higher daily cycle counts than domestic taps. Mounting type and reach get matched to the sink bowl size and splashback configuration, along with whether a fold-down or swan-neck spout best suits the workspace. The range spans deck- and wall-mounted mixer taps and pre-rinse spray arms through to hands-free options, including no-touch sensor taps, self-closing pillar taps and retractable rinse taps.
Key specifications
Commercial taps are typically made from chrome-plated brass or 304 stainless steel, with lever or wrist-action handles favoured in food-prep areas for hygiene, and pre-rinse spray arm taps common over pot-wash sinks for high-volume cleaning.
Commercial Sink Taps — FAQs
Lever or twist taps for a commercial kitchen sink?
Lever-action taps are generally preferred in food-prep and pot-wash areas because they can be operated with an elbow or wrist when hands are dirty or wet, improving hygiene over standard twist taps.
Do I need a pre-rinse spray tap for my sink?
Pre-rinse spray taps are worth specifying over pot-wash and multi-compartment sinks handling high volumes of dirty crockery and pans, as the flexible spray hose speeds up rinsing before washing or the dishwasher.
