Foot-Operated Mixer Taps ERMES are MONOLITH brand professional touch-free foot pedal mixer taps for restaurant kitchens, food processing businesses and medical facilities. MONOLITH ERMES foot-operated mixer taps allow kitchen staff to turn water on and off with a foot pedal without touching the mixer tap surface with their hands — this is a decisive hygiene improvement in commercial kitchens where hand hygiene is a priority. ERMES foot-operated mixer taps are a mandatory requirement in many food production facilities and restaurants with high hygiene standards, as they prevent the risk of cross-contamination via the mixer tap surface. BHS offers MONOLITH ERMES together with a wide range of Monolith Kitchen Shower Mixers.
