New Age Pressmatic Taps for Shared and High-Use Wash Areas

In shared wash areas, the choice of tap can influence how conveniently a basin is used and how water is controlled throughout the day. New Age Pressmatic taps by Jaquar include non-concussive basin taps, extended-lever configurations, bib taps and urinal valves for compatible installations.

Non-concussive taps are designed to operate through a push mechanism and close automatically after a defined operating cycle, according to the product's design. This type of fitting can be considered for wash areas where controlled water delivery and straightforward operation are important.

The New Age Pressmatic range includes options with different operating arrangements, including selected extended-lever configurations. It is important to choose the product according to the intended application, mounting requirements and accessibility needs.

Explore the wider faucet collection to compare conventional and specialised tap options for different settings.

What Are Non-Concussive Taps?

A non-concussive tap is a self-closing fitting that operates through a push mechanism. When activated, the tap allows water to flow for a set operating cycle before closing according to the mechanism's design.

This differs from a conventional tap that generally remains open until the user turns it off. The self-closing arrangement can be useful in shared wash areas where users need a straightforward way to activate the water.

The exact closing cycle, operating method and installation requirements depend on the selected product. Do not assume that every non-concussive tap has the same operating duration or flow characteristics.

When choosing a fitting, review the manufacturer's technical information and confirm that the tap is suitable for the intended basin and water supply conditions.

New Age Pressmatic Basin Taps

The New Age Pressmatic collection includes non-concussive basin taps in different configurations. These can be considered for washbasins in shared or high-use settings, subject to the product's installation requirements.

Standard Non-Concussive Basin Tap

A standard non-concussive basin tap provides push-operated water activation and automatic closure. This configuration can be considered where a simple operating method is required.

Before selecting the tap, confirm the basin's mounting arrangement and the water connection requirements. Check the fitting's dimensions and ensure that the outlet is positioned appropriately over the basin bowl.

The tap should be easy to reach and operate while directing water into the basin. Review the product documentation for the specified operating conditions and installation instructions.

Extended Non-Concussive Basin Tap

Selected New Age Pressmatic products include an extended configuration. The additional extension can be relevant where the installation requires a different reach or operating arrangement.

The correct extension depends on the basin and the product specification. Check the distance between the mounting point and the intended outlet position, as well as the clearance around the tap.

Do not assume that every extended model has the same dimensions or operating characteristics. Verify the exact product details before ordering.

Non-Concussive Basin Tap with Extended Lever

The range includes a non-concussive basin tap with an extended lever arrangement designed for elbow operation. This configuration may be considered for wash areas where the operating mechanism needs to be accessible without relying solely on a conventional short push control.

An extended lever can provide a different point of contact for activating the tap. Its suitability depends on the intended users, the basin layout and the product's specified installation requirements.

When evaluating this option, consider the reach of the lever, the space around the basin and the way the fitting will be approached. Confirm the operating method and dimensions from the current product documentation.

Accessibility should be assessed for the complete wash area rather than the tap alone. Basin height, clearance, circulation space and the position of other fittings all contribute to how conveniently the area can be used.

Non-Concussive Bib Taps

The New Age Pressmatic collection includes a non-concussive bib tap for compatible wall-mounted installations. This configuration can be considered where the plumbing layout requires a bib tap rather than a basin-mounted fitting.

Before selecting a bib tap, check the water connection position, mounting height and outlet direction. Confirm that the product suits the intended receiving area and the specified installation.

The wall-mounted arrangement should be planned with the finished wall and surrounding surfaces in mind. If the fitting is being used to replace an existing tap, compare the connection requirements and dimensions before ordering.

A non-concussive bib tap should not be treated as interchangeable with a basin tap. The mounting type and intended application determine which product is appropriate.

Non-Concussive Urinal Valves

The New Age Pressmatic range includes non-concussive urinal valves for compatible urinal installations. These products serve a different purpose from basin taps and should be selected according to the urinal system and plumbing requirements.

In-Wall Urinal Valve

An in-wall urinal valve is installed as part of a concealed plumbing arrangement. The correct configuration depends on the urinal installation and the product's connection requirements.

Before selecting a concealed valve, confirm the intended application and the required installation dimensions. The valve should be compatible with the urinal and water supply system.

Concealed installations require careful planning because the connection points and mounting arrangement need to be established before the wall is finished. Check the product documentation and ensure that the installation is completed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Exposed Urinal Valve

The collection also includes a non-concussive urinal valve for a compatible exposed installation. The appropriate choice depends on the layout, mounting arrangement and intended application.

Confirm whether the product is designed for the required installation and check its connections before purchase. Do not assume that an exposed valve can replace an in-wall model without changes to the plumbing arrangement.

Where Can New Age Pressmatic Taps Be Used?

Non-concussive taps may be considered for a variety of shared wash areas where the plumbing and installation requirements are compatible.

Potential applications include:

• Shared washbasins in commercial buildings.
• Common wash areas in workplaces.
• Public or visitor washrooms.
• Wash areas in educational or institutional settings.
• Other high-use basin installations where a self-closing tap is appropriate.

These are general application examples, not a guarantee that every product is suitable for every environment. The exact product should be selected according to its technical specifications, intended installation and local requirements.

For specialised or high-use installations, confirm the suitability of the tap with the project designer or plumbing professional before purchase.

Understanding the Role of Automatic Closure

The self-closing mechanism is a defining feature of non-concussive taps. Once activated, the mechanism allows water to flow for a specified cycle and then closes the tap.

This can help provide a consistent method of operation in shared spaces. However, the actual water use depends on the tap's design, the operating cycle, the supply conditions and how users activate the fitting.

A non-concussive tap should not automatically be described as water-saving under every condition. To evaluate water use, check the product's flow-rate information and operating specifications. The installation should also be maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Selecting the correct fitting and ensuring that it operates as intended are both important parts of managing water use in a shared wash area.

Selecting the Right New Age Pressmatic Tap

The range includes different configurations, so the intended application should guide the selection.

For Basin Installations

Confirm the basin mounting type, the position of the tap hole and the required outlet reach. Decide whether a standard or extended operating configuration is appropriate.

For Accessible Operating Arrangements

Assess whether an extended-lever configuration is suitable for the intended users and wash area. Consider the lever's reach, the available clearance and the complete basin layout.

For Wall-Mounted Applications

Check the connection position and mounting requirements for a bib tap. Confirm that the selected fitting is intended for the planned use.

For Urinal Installations

Choose the appropriate non-concussive valve configuration and verify its compatibility with the urinal and plumbing arrangement. Establish whether the installation is exposed or concealed.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

Non-concussive taps contain an operating mechanism that should be installed and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Before installation:

• Confirm the product's intended application and mounting type.
• Check the water connection requirements.
• Review the specified operating conditions.
• Verify the tap's dimensions and outlet position.
• Ensure that the basin or urinal is compatible with the fitting.
• Confirm the installation requirements for exposed or concealed components.
• Have a qualified installer address any uncertainty about the plumbing arrangement.

If the tap does not operate or close as expected, the product should be checked according to its maintenance instructions. Avoid assuming that every issue can be resolved in the same way across different models.

Choosing a Finish and Coordinating the Wash Area

The New Age Pressmatic listings include chrome-finish options. Confirm the exact finish available for the chosen product.

Chrome can provide a consistent appearance across shared wash areas where several taps or related fittings are visible. When selecting multiple products, check their actual finish and installation requirements individually.

The overall layout should also account for the basin, wall surfaces, surrounding fixtures and available access space. The selected tap should work practically within the wash area, not simply match the other fittings visually.

Explore the available sanitaryware and bathroom products to coordinate the wider installation.
