Frequently Asked Questions
What does non-concussive mean?
Non-concussive taps are self-closing — the water flow stops automatically after a set time when the lever is released. This makes them ideal for commercial and public washrooms where water conservation and hygiene are priorities, and helps prevent taps being left running accidentally.
Are these taps suitable for domestic use?
Yes, though they are primarily designed for commercial, healthcare, and high-traffic environments. They can be used in domestic settings where water-saving or self-closing functionality is desired.
How many tap holes does my basin need?
These are pillar taps sold as a pair, requiring 2 tap holes — one for hot and one for cold. Check your basin specification before ordering.
What pressure do these taps require?
A minimum of 0.2 bar is required, with a maximum operating pressure of 6.0 bar — compatible with virtually all UK water systems including gravity-fed, mains pressure, and combi boiler systems.
Do these taps reduce water hammer?
Yes — the self-closing mechanism reduces the sudden pressure shock in pipework that causes water hammer noise, making them quieter in operation than standard taps that are turned off quickly.
What guarantee is included?
RAK Ceramics backs these taps with a 15-year guarantee.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — this product is available to order even when stock shows as zero. Please allow additional lead time for out-of-stock items.
