Automatic water mixer MONOLITH ARES019

A hands-free water faucet removes the need to touch taps with soiled hands, cutting cross-contamination in kitchens, laboratories and food-prep zones. The A019 from MONOLITH uses a knee-operated lever positioned below the basin. Pressing the lever opens the valve; releasing it triggers a spring-loaded self-closing mechanism that shuts off the flow after a set interval, preventing waste and accidental flooding.

To use the faucet, the operator approaches the basin and presses the lever with the side of the knee. Water flows while the lever is held; when the knee is withdrawn, the mechanism closes the valve automatically. No foot pedals or electronic sensors are required, so the unit remains simple to install and maintain.

The faucet body is a single-piece construction weighing 0.63 kg, making it light enough to mount on most commercial sinks without additional support. The lever and valve assembly are housed within the body, protecting them from knocks and splashes.

A knee-operated design keeps hands clear of the tap surface, meeting hygiene standards in environments where staff handle raw ingredients, chemicals or medical samples. The self-closing feature ensures water is not left running, reducing consumption in busy settings.

Cleaning involves wiping the external surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent; no disassembly is needed for routine upkeep. The compact weight and dimensions allow the faucet to fit standard sink holes without modification.

The A019 is categorised under automatic water faucets in the MONOLITH professional catering and hygiene range.
