Product Description
The Dormont Aquajet is a wall-mounted pre-rinse spray unit designed for heavy use in commercial pot wash and warewashing areas. It consists of a single water feed assembly with a heavy-duty angled hose, spray gun, and built-in restraining wire. The unit supplies water through a large bore hose, which supports a strong, consistent spray pattern suitable for shifting food residue quickly from pots, pans, and service ware before they enter the dishwasher.
In a busy kitchen, a pre-rinse unit takes a considerable amount of punishment. The Aquajet is built to withstand that day-to-day pressure. The restraining wire is a practical detail worth noting — it limits how far the hose can be pulled, which reduces wear on the connection points and keeps the gun away from standing water in the sink, helping to maintain hygiene standards over time. When fitted with an appropriate mixing valve, it is also suitable for use with a mixed hot and cold water supply, which is a common requirement in most commercial installations.
Key operational advantages include:
- Large bore hose delivers strong spray coverage for effective pre-rinsing
- Integral restraining wire reduces hose wear and limits overstretching
- Gun hook included for safe, hygienic storage between uses
- Meets WRc backflow prevention requirements for UK installations
- Easy to strip down for routine cleaning and servicing
Installation is straightforward for a qualified plumber. The unit requires a wall mounting point and a water supply connection; a mixing valve is needed separately if a blended water feed is required. The compact footprint means it fits within a standard pot wash bay without impeding workflow, though it is worth confirming the wall fixing position suits your sink configuration before installation.
This unit is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, and smaller restaurant operations where a reliable, easy-to-maintain pre-rinse station is needed. For larger sites running continuous dishwasher cycles with very high throughput, a higher-capacity pre-rinse arrangement may be worth considering. If you are unsure which specification best fits your setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The Aquajet is supplied as a single water feed unit, so a separate mixing valve is required if you want to blend hot and cold water at the spray gun. This is a standard requirement in most commercial pot wash installations and should be factored in when planning the plumbing.
- The Aquajet is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as pub kitchens, cafés, and school canteens. In very high-throughput environments with continuous back-to-back dishwasher cycles, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or higher-flow pre-rinse arrangement would better suit the pace of service.
- WRc approval confirms the unit meets UK Water Regulations requirements for backflow prevention, meaning it is designed to prevent contaminated water from siphoning back into the mains supply. This is a standard requirement for commercial kitchen plumbing and will be relevant to any site undergoing environmental health or water board inspection.
