40 mm self-closing single-water basin tap in 316L stainless steel

AISI 316L stainless steel is the specification decision behind this basin tap: the marine-grade alloy handles the near-constant handwashing cycle of a public washroom without the pitting that eventually shows up on cheaper chrome fittings. Unlike a mixer, it supplies cold water only through a single 40 mm diameter body, closing itself off automatically after each use at the press of its button. No waste is fitted, so it pairs with a basin already plumbed with its own trap.

Key features

• Self-closing action shuts the water off automatically, cutting waste in high-footfall facilities.
• Cold-only supply suits washrooms already fed by a separate hot-water tempering system.
• Four finishes — Gold PVD, Black PVD, Copper PVD, Brushed — extend the same look across every basin.

Specification and installation

The tap connects via a G3/8” flexible hose through a single 40 mm diameter tap hole, and because it carries cold water only it needs no hot feed or mixing cartridge behind the basin. It pairs naturally with the self-closing mixer version in the same range where a wash-station needs both hot and cold outlets side by side. Tubico backs the tap with a two-year warranty.
