Boiling water from the tap at any time, without waiting and without extra equipment such as a kettle or teapot standing around? With a hot water faucet, this is also possible. More and more people are enjoying this convenience in the sink area. In recent years, boiling water faucets have become part of every fully equipped kitchen.
Why is boiling water from the kitchen faucet useful?
Hot water can be used to brew coffee, tea, or instant products, to boil eggs, blanch vegetables, sterilize baby bottles, or simply clean badly soiled cookware in the sink. We need hot water regularly throughout the day, and that is why hot water straight from the tap is so practical in modern kitchens.
What can boiling water do?
The high-grade kitchen faucet provides a mixture of hot and cold water. However, hot water at 100°C is also available. This process is carried out with the help of a special tap with a hot water rotary handle and a boiler or reservoir installed under the kitchen sink. The boiler stores water (up to 8 liters depending on the manufacturer and model) and keeps it at a constant 100°C until it is needed.
Tip: You need to leave space for the boiler in the sink cabinet.
With a hot water tap, you don’t need to boil water in the kettle and then let it cool down, which is inefficient. So in the long run, this hot water faucet will take the pressure off the environment and your wallet.
What is the difference between a boiling water faucet and a hot water faucet?
Technically speaking, there are the following differences
- Boiling water faucet
- Hot water faucet
In boiling water fittings, the water in the boiler is stored at a temperature slightly above 100°C and can only be pumped up with the help of a pressure tank. This variant is more technically complex.
On the other hand, with a hot water tap, the water temperature can only reach about 100°C. An ordinary boiler without a pressure system is enough for this purpose. It is easier to install and cheaper.
Tip: The boiling water faucet can be modified as it can also be used as a single faucet or pillar valve.
What equipment is important for boiling water taps?
With such boiling faucets, it is especially important to pay attention to reliable safety mechanisms. If there are children in the house, a built-in child safety device is essential. The danger in the kitchen water intake comes from involuntary contact with boiling water from the faucet and from the dangerous overheating part of the spout or control unit.
Tip: Fuses and cooling units are part of Parlun’s kitchen fittings.
