electric hand wash

[ian cotts]

Could anyone please point me in the direction of where to buy an electic hand wash with an extended swivel tap of a distance of 400mm. I need to fit one to a kitchen with no hot water to feed two sinks. The sinks can be moved slightly to accomadate a suitable product. Many thanks to anyone who takes the trouble to reply.

heatrae sadia or redring both do over sink hot water boilers with variable thermostat for handwashing etc. Failing that get a mains pressure below sink heater and put a normal tap on it.

be weary of the throughput. I fitted two 3 kW Redring (13A) units some years ago in two outside toilets. The water flow was just a very fine spray and absolutely pathetic even for hand washing. If you wanted to fill one sink (let alone two) I seriously think it would take half an hour.

It depends how much water you want and how long you want to run it for really. Check the manufacturers specification. This is the sort of thing I'm referring to.

I know the ones you are on about the fine spray they give off is next to useless, i was trying to steer the op towards the 5ltr above / under sink ones with the large swan neck spouts, rather than them piddly ones. . . A bit more money to splash out on but worth the extra ( pardon the pun ).

there appears to be a 3KW model as well which would give faster heatup

I tend to agree that a storage water heater is essential for this kind of application. Instantanious heaters would need rediculously high powers to fill a sink in a time most people would tollerate.
