View full detailsNon concussive taps, also known as self closing taps, push taps, timed flow taps and percussion taps, deliver a controlled flow of water when pressed and shut off automatically once the timed flow has elapsed. No handles, no running taps, no wasted water. Widely specified for schools, sports facilities, public washrooms, offices and healthcare settings, they are the proven low maintenance option for any high footfall commercial basin. Available in pillar, monobloc and wall mounted configurations with free delivery on every order.
Inside every non concussive tap is a spring loaded cartridge. When the tap head or button is pressed, the cartridge opens and water flows. The spring mechanism then works against the water pressure to close the valve after a set time, typically between 5 and 10 seconds, regardless of whether the user is still at the basin. The tap cannot be held open and cannot be left running.
The flow time is adjustable on most models via a timing screw inside the cartridge housing. This allows the tap to be set to deliver enough water for a proper handwash without running longer than necessary. It is one of the reasons non concussive taps consistently reduce water consumption in high footfall environments.
Because the mechanism is entirely mechanical with no electronic components, non concussive taps require no power supply and have no sensors to maintain or replace. The cartridge is the serviceable part and replacements are widely available.
Non concussive taps are available in three main mounting configurations. Pillar non concussive taps are the traditional commercial option, with separate hot and cold taps mounting through two tap holes in the basin. They are straightforward to install and replace, and are a common sight in schools and public washrooms.
Monobloc non concussive taps mount through a single tap hole and mix hot and cold water internally to deliver a blended output at a single spout. They are suited to counter basins and more contemporary commercial washroom specifications where a single tap hole basin is used.
Wall mounted non concussive taps fix above the basin to the wall, keeping the basin surface completely clear. They suit wash troughs, wall hung basins and installations where the plumbing is run through the wall. This configuration is common in healthcare and food service environments where surface hygiene around the basin is a priority.
Non concussive taps are found wherever water waste and low maintenance matter more than a premium finish. Schools are one of the most common applications. The mechanical simplicity means there is very little to break or vandalise, and the automatic shutoff eliminates the routine problem of taps being left running between lessons.
Sports centres, leisure facilities and changing rooms specify non concussive taps for similar reasons. High footfall, mixed user groups and a focus on running costs make the automatic shutoff and low maintenance profile a practical fit.
Public washrooms, transport hubs and local authority facilities use non concussive taps as standard. The absence of a handle that can be broken or removed reduces maintenance callouts, and the controlled flow time manages consumption in facilities that may run unattended for periods.
In healthcare settings, non concussive taps are specified where a sensor tap is not required but some level of hygienic operation is still needed. The push head reduces contact compared to a lever or crosshead tap, and the automatic shutoff prevents water being left running in clinical areas. They are also used in staff washrooms, sluice rooms and utility areas throughout hospitals and care homes.
