  • Low Pressure Focus: Ideal for rinsing, but may struggle with heavily baked-on grime.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Granary, a popular riverside pub in York, needed to overhaul its pot wash station. Their existing tap was leaking, stiff, and  simply not up to the task of a busy weekend service, causing frustrating delays between the kitchen and  the floor.

"The new AquaJet tap has been brilliant. The spray is powerful enough to shift food without soaking the entire area, and  the long, swivel spout reaches every corner of our double sink. The pot wash team are genuinely happier and  more efficient."

David Chen – Head Chef

The upgrade resulted in clearing plates and  pans from the kitchen pass an estimated 25% faster during peak service, significantly improving workflow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure your deck or sink has two holes spaced between 170mm and  230mm.
  • Before installing, flush the water pipes to clear any debris.
  • Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
  • Once connected, turn the water on slowly and  check thoroughly for any leaks around the joints.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the tap down daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent to prevent limescale build-up.
  • Periodically unscrew the spray head nozzle and  soak it in a descaling solution to keep the jets clear.
  • Regularly check the flexible hose for any signs of cracking or wear and  tear.
  • Check the lever operation remains smooth; any stiffness could indicate a need to check the cartridge.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tap

Not sure which pre-rinse tap is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match for your needs.

Mounting Style: Deck vs. Wall

Deck-mounted taps like this one fix directly to the sink unit, which is common and  very stable. Wall-mounted taps are fixed to the wall behind, saving sink space but requiring specific plumbing.

Spout Reach and  Height

Consider the size of your sink. You need a spout that can comfortably reach all corners of all bowls without being too long and  getting in the way. A swivel function is essential for flexibility.

Control Types: Levers vs. Knobs

Levers offer quick, easy control with an elbow or the back of your hand, which is great for hygiene and  speed. Traditional knobs can offer finer control but are slower to operate.

Water Pressure Matters

This is a low pressure spray tap, perfect for most rinsing jobs. If you need to blast off seriously baked-on food, you might need to look at a high-pressure model, but check your water system can handle it first.

Look for WRAS Approval

As we've mentioned, this is vital. Always choose a WRAS-approved tap for any commercial food environment in the UK to ensure you are legally compliant and  your water is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tap suitable for a domestic kitchen?

A: While you could, it is designed for the rigours of a commercial environment. Its size and  power are typically more than what is needed for a home kitchen.

Q: What does 'deck-mounted' mean?

A: It means the tap is installed directly onto the horizontal surface of the sink unit or worktop, rather than onto the wall behind it.

Q: Is the spray head on this pre rinse spray arm for restaurant use replaceable?

A: Yes, spray heads and  hoses are common replacement parts that can be sourced to prolong the life of the unit.

Q: Will this fit any commercial sink?

A: It's designed for sinks with twin tap holes spaced between 170mm and  230mm apart, which covers a wide range of standard commercial sinks.

Q: What is the best way to clean the tap?

A: A daily wipe with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild, non-abrasive cleaner is best. Avoid harsh chemicals or scourers which can damage the finish.

Q: Does this tap mix hot and  cold water?

A: Yes, it's a twin mixer tap. It connects to both your hot and  cold water feeds, and  the two levers allow you to control the temperature of the water.

Q: Can the spout be fixed in one position?

A: The spout is designed to swivel 360 degrees for maximum flexibility, but it includes a restraining device to prevent it over-rotating and  hitting the wall.

Q: Is this model suitable for hard water areas?

A: Yes, however in very hard water areas, we recommend more frequent checks and  descaling of the spray nozzle to maintain optimal performance.

Why WRAS Approval is a Non-Negotiable for Your Business

You’ll see 'WRAS Approved' on this tap, but what does it actually mean for you? Think of it like a strict MOT for any product that touches your mains water supply. WRAS (Water Regulations Approval Scheme) certification is official proof that a product won't contaminate the public water supply. It ensures the materials used are safe and  that the design prevents dirty water from ever siphoning back into the clean water system. For a food business, this isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a critical part of your legal duty of care, protecting your customers' health and  your business from hefty fines and  reputational damage. Choosing a WRAS-approved tap like the AquaJet AJ-B-312L tap is a simple way to ensure you're compliant from day one.
