Timed tap MONOLITH L5029942

A timed tap controls the flow of liquids in measured bursts, removing the need to hold a lever or turn a valve manually. The mechanism inside opens for a set interval, releasing a consistent volume each time the actuator is pressed. This method prevents over-pouring, reduces waste and speeds up service when multiple portions are needed in quick succession. The operator presses the tap once; the internal timer triggers the valve, allowing liquid to flow for the pre-set duration. When the time elapses, the valve closes automatically, stopping the flow without further intervention. No adjustment is made between uses, so every press delivers the same quantity, ensuring uniformity across dishes or drinks. Constructed for integration into Monolith catering appliances, this timed tap has a 1/2"MM threaded connection. The body is built to withstand frequent operation in a busy kitchen environment. Cleaning follows from the construction: the tap is wiped externally after each service period, and the internal valve is flushed with clean water to clear any residue that could affect timing accuracy. The valve's ceramic cartridge can be rinsed under running water without removing the body from the gas line. This tap fits Monolith appliances referenced as ARES018KIT1, ARES004KIT and R0902010116, where a timed dispensing function is specified.
