Lab Taps & Sinks

We've been steadily increasing our range of laboratory taps and sinks - water taps, gas taps and special acid resistant sinks.
The latest addition to our range is an extra wide  sink that features 2 drainers. Although our lab range is clearly aimed at the laboratory and schools market, we are finding these products also going into areas such as food processing, dental markets and even cosmetic salons.

Water, Energy & carbon Reduction

Here's a really useful guide about reducing your water useage which in turn saves energy and your carbon footprint: Water & Energy Saving
The fact is that there are a lot of small simple steps that can be taken to reduce water consumption without any detrimental effects.
It's not uncommon to see reductions of 50% and we've made a few product suggestions to help - products that can be used in kitchen, showers or just fitted to any taps.

A very useful plumbing part to connect different sized female threaded fittings is a reducer nipple (sometimes also call a reducing nipple).
We've added 2 sizes - one that reduces from 3/4 to 1/2 and the other that reduces from 1/2 down to 3/8 which is a common European size.
We've gone for the premium end of the market with ours made from chrome plated solid brass.
They can be found here: Chrome Reducing Nipple

Hard To Find Tap Levers

We've just added our Premier tap levers to our tap handle range.
The interesting feature with these levers is that they fit onto 24 spline valves which is actually something that's very hard to find. We do offer a couple of handles to fit the 24 spline valves but haven't had any levers up till now.
The new 'premium' levers can be seen here: 24 Spline Tap Levers

Under Counter Bar Tap

As part of the growing range of commercial and catering taps available form Lime, here's our solution for restaurants and bars that need an under counter tap that is much lower height than standard.
Made by Monolith, it is an ultra low height commercial/catering tap with a height of only 106mm to fit in restricted spaces where normal height taps would be too tall.

WRAS approved medical taps

We've launched our UK made range of Hart Performa medical taps.
These are WRAS approved medical taps made in conjunction with the Francis Pegler groupEach tap is assembled and packed by our parent company Hart Home Interiors and sold exclusively by us and our group companies - they are not available anywhere else.
Each tap is suitable for any water pressure and with the WRAS approval can be fitted in any commercial building

Tap Aerators To Prevent Legionella

There have been numerous articles concerning bacterial buildup in tap aerators. In particular prevention of Legionella and pseudomonas is a key concern in both hospitals and care units for the elderly.
We are delighted to introduce our clinic line tap aerator sets as a frontline tool in combatting these infections. The sets contain 4 colour coded aerators that should be changed regularly so work on two fronts:
1. Each aerator produces a laminar flow thus avoiding the introduction of airborne matter into the water stream
2. By implementing a programme of regular changeover, there is no long term build up of (infected)  material behind the aerator.
These can be seen on Lime here: Anti Legionella Hospital Tap Aerators

Marfow Taps

Can't wait to get our new Marflow taps ranges live - we've got everything needed (images, tech details etc) so expect to have the listsings finalised this week.
The market seems to be awash with cheap Chinese rubbish so we'll be pushing them for their quality, genuine low pressure performance and superb build quality. Anyone who appreciates these values is the sort of customer we want

SHTM64

We've had numerous calls from clinics in Scotland saying that Health Facilities Scotland are setting new requirements for hand washing sanitary equipment.
It's a good thing but the requirements are not clear and the advice given to practices seems inconsistent.
So to cut through the confusion and help advise customers what equipment (sinks, taps etc) are needed, we've produced an easy to understand guide that we hope will help take away some of the confusion & concerns: SHTM64 Sanitary Guidelines
