TEK Washbasin
The TEK is a wall mounted vandal resistant washbasin constructed from bacteriostatic 304 stainless steel with a polished satin finish and 1.2mm wall thickness. The shrouded basin body features rounded edges and concealed drainage, making it suitable for secure sector installations.
The basin is available in four configurations depending on water control requirements. The single push button variant is designed for connection to a premixed supply, delivering water for a timed 7 second cycle with an anti blocking system. The two button variant accepts dual supply connections, with one button for cold water and one for premixed warm water, giving independent control of each supply. The electronic variant uses infrared presence detection for hands free operation, with flow pre set at 3 lpm and an adjustable duty flush, and requires a 230/12V mains supply. The through wall TC variant routes all pipework through the wall to a rear service duct, removing accessible connections from the washroom.
The basin ships complete with trap, fixing elements, and a flat perforated screwless waste fitting that requires no tools to remove for cleaning. It is CE marked and complies with European standard EN 14688, and carries a 30 year warranty.
Key Features
- Bacteriostatic 304 stainless steel: The 304 grade stainless steel construction inhibits bacterial growth on the basin surface, making it appropriate for high traffic and hygiene critical environments.
- Vandal resistant construction: The shrouded basin body conceals the drain and trap from the front, preventing access to waste fittings.
- Rounded edges: All basin edges are rounded to prevent injury, a requirement in secure and high risk installations.
- Flat perforated screwless waste: The waste fitting has no screws, making it vandal resistant and straightforward to clean without tools.
- No overflow: The basin is supplied without an overflow, removing a common blocking or debris accumulation point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the single button and two button variants?
The single button variant is designed for connection to a single premixed supply, such as a thermostatic mixing valve. Pressing the button delivers warm mixed water for a 7 second timed cycle. The two button variant accepts two separate supply connections and provides independent control: one button delivers cold water and the other delivers premixed warm water. This gives specifiers the option to provide both temperatures separately from a single basin, which is sometimes required in secure sector environments.
What is the anti blocking system on the non concussive push button taps on this washbasin?
Delabie's AB anti blocking system is a vandal resistant mechanism found on their non concussive push button taps. Water flows only when the push button is released, not while it is held down. This prevents the tap from being deliberately blocked open to run continuously, ensuring the timed shut off cycle always activates.
Is this washbasin suitable for secure sector installations such as custody or mental health facilities?
Delabie classifies the TEK washbasin as suitable for the secure sector. The shrouded basin, concealed trap, screwless waste, and tamperproof integrated controls are designed to reduce ligature and vandalism risk in high security environments.
What does through wall installation mean for the TC variant?
The through wall TC variant is designed for cross wall installation where pipework feeds through to a service duct on the opposite side of the wall. This allows all plumbing connections to be made from behind the wall, reducing accessible pipework in the washroom.
