Foot-operated mixer tap MONOLITH ERMES001KIT1

A foot pedal lets the operator turn water on and off without touching the tap, keeping hands free for food, utensils or cleaning. The pedal is linked to a valve beneath the worktop; pressing it opens the flow, releasing it closes the valve and stops the water. This method cuts cross-contamination and meets hygiene standards in professional kitchens, healthcare and utility spaces.

The fixed spout directs the stream straight down, so water lands where it is needed without splashing neighbouring surfaces. There are no handles to turn, no levers to pull, and no sensors to calibrate, making the tap simple to use and maintain.

To use the tap, place a container or hands under the spout. Step on the pedal; water flows while the pedal is held down. Release the pedal and the flow stops immediately. The sequence takes no training and leaves no taps accidentally left running.

Construction is a single spout mounted on a valve body, both designed for frequent use. The pedal and linkage are built to withstand repeated pressing without loosening or leaking.

The tap fits standard plumbing connections and requires no electrical supply, so it can be installed anywhere a conventional tap would go. Its compact footprint suits tight worktops and backsplashes.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the spout and pedal with a damp cloth; there are no crevices or moving parts that trap debris. The absence of handles or knobs removes surfaces that would otherwise need disinfecting between uses.

The catalogue places this tap in the hygiene and utility section, alongside other hands-free and pedal-operated fittings.
