Lincat unveils new ‘zero contact’ water boiler tap adaptor

To help businesses raise hygiene standards and become Covid-19 secure, Lincat has developed a hands-free water boiler tap adaptor for all models in its FilterFlow EBFX series and legacy EB range.

The EB Hands Free Adaptor allows users to easily dispense water by pushing a paddle with the back of their cup, removing all hand contact with the boiler.

Helen Applewhite, Marketing Manager for IMC and Lincat brands, said:

“The protection of staff and customers is a priority for all businesses, which means premises have to meet high hygiene standards. Keeping common touch points, such as door handles and taps, clean can be a challenge, which is why we wanted to develop a solution for those using our water boilers. In designing this adaptor, our R&D team is providing our customers with a simple, low-cost accessory which will help in the fight against Covid-19.”

Constructed from hygienic stainless steel, the adaptor simply slips over the tap head, meaning it can be easily fitted to the water boiler by the end user without any tools.
