Sensor taps provide essential touchless handwashing for environments ranging from food & restaurants to medical practices and hospitals.
The limitation with the majority of sensor taps is that they have fixed spouts which can neither be adjusted nor provide sufficient reach for some applications.
To address this requirement, Notjusttaps offer a range of temperature adjustable infra red (sensor) activated taps with full swivel spouts in a variety of reaches that will suit not only basins but also kitchen sinks.

To compliment our range of commercial use basin spouts, Notjusttaps now offer rotating deck (surface mounted) sink spouts designed for commercial users requiring hands free or timed water control to a kitchen sink. Typical  use would be in areas such as healthcare & food processing.
The spouts which will suit single, double or large capacity sinks and can be used in conjunction with foot/knee operated controls to provide complete ‘water saving’ hands free operation.

Cost effective Safe Water In Hospitals

Comments Off on Cost effective Safe Water In Hospitals

The provision of water at a safe temperature in any public building is a legal requirement designed to prevent accidental burns or scalding.
This is  achieved by fitting a TMV valve (TMV2/TMV3 scheme) into the hot water supply which sets a safe maximum hot temperature and ensures that the water supply shuts down in the event that the temperature exceeds the set maximum.
In the public health and care sectors, this can become a substantial cost burden as every outlet (tap or shower) must be safeguarded.
To help this sector meet these requirements in the most cost effective manner, Notjusttaps have introduced Tectite Hospital TMV valves which incorporate built in isolating valves, a push fit connection and a straight through feed on the cold side – These can be installed substantially faster than a normal TMV valve, save on the cost of pipework and most importantly allow for fast access to any outlet without the need to shut off the water supply.

Newly added to Notjusttaps’ dental sinks are the ‘Ultra’ inset sinks made from 316 grade stainless steel.
Designed for inset/surface mounting, the sinks are are much larger than standard dental bowls and also have the benefit of extra depth (20cm deep as against a norm of 15-15cm).
In addition being made from 316 grade stainless, they offer high levels of resistance to corrosion and aggressive chemicals making them also suitable for laboratory use.

Comments Off on NHS Estate Guidelines – Update To HTM64

To help cut through the mass of information, waffle and confusing jargon that seems to abound, we have written a number of articles that explains both the key issues involved in meeting hand hygiene compliance and the requirements for the correct equipment  (sanitary installations).

The latest article this month (November 2015) explains the  requirements for sanitary assemblies as set out by NHS Estates/Department of Health. It not only summarises key points but also has links to a number of useful government publications as further reference points:

Comments Off on GP Handwash Packs

Notjusttaps has just launched a range of  ‘GP handwash packs‘ .
Similar in concept to the dental sink packs, they are complete, ready to fit hand washing stations designed to suit the demands of GP practices whilst meeting the relevant standards (CQC &HTM64).
Each pack contains the ceramic basin, tap, waste fitting and spacesaving ‘anti-backflow’ trap and even comes with the correct strength wall fixings to ensure the basin is securely fitted.
The packs offer a choice of basin or wall fitted taps and each one offers the option of upgrading with the addition of Nofer wall mounted soap and paper towel dispensers.
Hopefully this means that there is one less thing for practice managers to worry about when undertaking a new build or refurbishment .

 

 

DDA Compliant Taps

Comments Off on DDA Compliant Taps

alp-MR67273CR

We are increasingly asked whether the healthcare taps that we supply are DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant.
The requirement states that sanitary accommodation will satisfy requirements M1 or M3 of the act if ” any bath or washbasin tap is either controlled automatically or is capable of being operated using a closed fist eg by lever action”
The options are therefore to install infra red sensor taps or extended/elbow lever taps.
The introduction of  our new  Ability Lever Taps fully satisfies the acts requirements.
it is also stated that the needs of people with visual impairment should be considered and as such the use of high visibility graphics and the contrast between the lever colour and tap body provides useful visual contrast.
The Italian designed range which includes basin, bath & sink taps will be suitable for any public building looking to ensure their chosen brassware complies with the requirements of the disabilty discrimination act.

The use of copper finishes on bathroom products is very limited yet for the healthcare sector is particularly relevant as extensive research has shown that copper surfaces are the most effective surface for eliminating germs.
Tests show that not only is it far superior to chrome or steel, it is much more effective than Triclosan treated plastic with an ongoing efficacy of 99.9% bacterial elimination within 2 hours of exposure.
As the fight against bacterial infection becomes harder , any material that can aid the fight should be seriously considered.
To this end we now offer both copper medical handwashing taps and copper bathroom/shower grab bars for public washrooms and patient bathrooms.
Technical datasheets are available on request.

These packs are particularly suitable for new practices wanting a complete ‘peace of mind’ ready to go solution but are equally suitable for any medical or dental practice looking to upgrade.
