MONOLITH Concealed Self-Closing Floor Tap ARES021

A concealed self-closing tap delivers water only while the operator presses the actuator, then shuts off automatically after a set interval. This design prevents accidental flooding in busy kitchens by ensuring the tap cannot be left running. The mechanism relies on internal spring pressure that resets the valve as soon as the user releases the control, eliminating the need for manual shut-off and reducing water waste during brief tasks like rinsing or filling containers.

The MONOLITH ARES021 is mounted flush with the floor, keeping the worktop and splash area clear of protruding fixtures. The operator presses the actuator with a foot or hand, triggering a brief flow of water that stops within seconds without further intervention. This fixed flow time removes the risk of forgetting to close the tap, which is particularly useful in high-traffic areas where staff move quickly between tasks.

Constructed to European Project size A4, the tap is housed in a compact unit that fits standard floor boxes. The actuator and valve assembly are concealed beneath the surface, leaving only the control button exposed for easy cleaning and a streamlined appearance. The unit weighs 0.54 kg, allowing straightforward installation without additional structural support.

Cleaning involves wiping the exposed actuator and surrounding floor area to remove debris or spills. The concealed design minimises crevices where dirt can accumulate, reducing maintenance compared to traditional taps with external handles or levers. The fixed flow time means no adjustment is required, simplifying operation and upkeep.

This tap is placed in the catalogue under floor-mounted water controls for professional catering environments.
