FAQs

What is a non-concussive tap?

Non-concussive taps (also known as self-closing taps and push-down taps) are types of taps which deliver a timed flow of water once pressed down. Once the set time is reached, they self-close, stopping the flow of water.

Can you adjust non-concussive taps?

Yes, you can easily adjust many non-concussive taps to control the runtime of the water flow. Typically, this is done by locating the time-variable control hole and using a screw to adjust the time delay, but how you adjust self-closing taps varies by brand and model. Push taps that do not allow you to alter the flow duration should be labelled as non-adjustable, so make sure you check the product description. 

How do non-concussive taps work?

When non-concussive basin taps are pressed, water will flow for a specified period. These are self-closing taps, which means that once the water flow is switched off, the tap will gradually return to its original position.

How do you clean a self-closing tap?

You can clean your self-closing tap with a soft, damp cloth. If your taps are stained, you can try to remove them with washing-up liquid. Please bear in mind that some bathroom cleaning products can damage tap surfaces. You should avoid using abrasive cleaning solutions and scrub pads. If your washroom is in a hard-water area, you should aim to have your taps serviced regularly.

Which non-concussive mixer tap is right for me?

Here are some things for you to consider when choosing the right push taps:

• What is your budget? Your budget for refurbishing your washroom will inevitably impact your decision. 
• What style is your bathroom? We sell both traditional and modern styled non-concussive taps.
• How much available space do you have by your basins? You can choose from deck-mounted and wall-mounted push taps.
• Do you want to control the water flow time? Many non-concussive taps allow you to adjust the timing of the water flow, whereas some push taps specify their flow time. Either way, non-concussive taps are self-closing and will prevent users from leaving taps running or using more water than needed. 

What are the benefits of non-concussive mixer taps?

Self-closing taps are ideal for many commercial washrooms for the following reasons:

• They turn off automatically, which helps reduce water waste and the associated costs, as well as minimising the risk of flooding.
• They’re easy to use - users simply need to push down on the taps.
• They’re often made of solid brass and finished in chrome, making them robust and easy to clean. 
• You can choose between Wall-Mounted Taps and Deck Mounted Push Taps to suit your washroom space.
• They can be a more affordable option to Sensor Taps, which also feature automatic shut-off functions.
