MONOLITH Electronic Faucet S003/C for Hygienic Worktops

An electronic faucet that delivers water only when needed, cutting waste and contact with the tap handle. The sensor detects motion beneath the spout and opens the valve for a set interval, then closes it automatically so water does not run unattended. The flow begins when the operator's hands enter the detection zone and stops after 7.5 seconds, long enough to fill a standard kitchen container or rinse hands without manual intervention. If the sensor is triggered continuously for five minutes—an event that signals misuse or vandalism—the faucet shuts off completely until reset, protecting against accidental flooding and deliberate tampering. Every twenty-four hours after the last use, the faucet runs a brief automatic flush. This hygienic cycle draws fresh water through the internal pipework, preventing stagnation and lowering the risk of Legionella bacteria accumulating in the system. The flush is silent and requires no operator input, so it does not interrupt kitchen routines. A side lever allows mechanical adjustment of water temperature. The operator sets the desired mix of hot and cold before the sensor is activated, so every flow delivers water at the chosen temperature without further handling of the tap. The faucet is constructed as a single unit with no external moving parts other than the temperature lever. The sensor and valve are housed inside a sealed body, reducing points where dirt or grease can collect. Because there is no handle to turn, the surface stays cleaner and cross-contamination between users is minimised. Controls are limited to the sensor detection zone and the side-mounted temperature lever. The sensor requires no calibration or programming; it responds to motion within its fixed range. The lever moves smoothly through its arc and locks at the desired position, so temperature remains consistent between uses. The timed flow of 7.5 seconds is sufficient for most brief kitchen tasks—filling a small jug, rinsing utensils or washing hands—without requiring the operator to stand at the tap. The five-minute anti-vandal shut-off ensures the unit cannot be left running overnight or during breaks, reducing water waste and the risk of overflow. The daily hygienic flush keeps the internal waterway fresh and compliant with health standards without manual intervention. Cleaning follows from the construction: the smooth, handle-free body can be wiped down with a cloth and sanitiser after each service period. The sensor window should be kept free of grease and condensation to maintain reliable detection. The faucet's sealed sensor and solenoid valve are designed to be cleaned in place with a damp cloth, eliminating the need to dismantle components during daily maintenance in a busy kitchen. The faucet is supplied as a single model with no variants or accessories listed. Catalogue placement: professional kitchen equipment, worktop fittings, hygiene and safety accessories.
