Floor Activators
Commercial Grade Foot Control | Temperature Selection Option
How They Work
Tapmaster in-floor activators are installed directly into the floor by drilling a hole for the activator tubing to run through or with one of our surface mount kits. The in-floor activation plate is electropolished stainless steel with a solid stainless-steel base. When we designed the in-floor activator we had hospitals, food processing facilities and commercial washrooms in mind. When installed, the in-floor activator can withstand 7500lbs of force without damage and is intended to be cleaned with commercial floor polishing equipment.
The pressure plate flexes 0.5mm (0.02″) and only requires 3.5kg (~8lbs) of force to activate. The design is intuitive even for people who have never seen a foot-operated faucet before.
When paired with a basic spout, the Tapmaster in-floor activator is the perfect commercial hands-free faucet system. It is vandal resistant, requires no ongoing maintenance and provides a perfect seal against the floor to prevent dirt buildup.
Common Questions
I Have a Concrete Slab Floor, Can I Install it?
Yes, concrete slab flooring must have a pocket chipped out for the activator assembly and a channel cut for the control tubing. Any commercial flooring company can quote on this.
How Do I Control the Temperature?
If you wish to have hands-free water temperature control you must order the 1786 model in-floor activator that allows for hot/warm/cold operation.
