Product Description
The Advantage HB300PFB-WRAS is a wall-mounted, knee-operated wash hand basin designed for commercial catering and food preparation environments where hands-free operation is a hygiene or regulatory requirement. WRAS approval confirms the unit meets Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for connection to the UK mains water supply — a requirement that commonly arises during environmental health inspections and new build sign-offs.
The knee-operated timed tap allows kitchen staff to start and stop the flow of water without hand contact, reducing the risk of cross-contamination at the point of handwashing. This is particularly relevant in food production units, prep kitchens, and any operation running under HACCP-based hygiene protocols. The integral rear splashback protects the wall surface around the basin, and the satin finish wipes down cleanly during routine kitchen cleaning.
- Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at the handwash point
- WRAS-approved components satisfy water fittings regulations for commercial sites
- Timed tap limits unnecessary water flow, reducing running waste
- Integral splashback protects the wall and simplifies daily cleaning
- Compact wall-mounted profile suits tight spaces and secondary wash points
Installation is straightforward for a competent plumber. The unit is wall-mounted via keyhole slots, so the fixing surface should be assessed beforehand — plasterboard alone is unlikely to provide adequate support, and a solid substrate or appropriate fixing frame will be needed. The basin connects to a standard hot and cold supply through the mixing valve and discharges via a 1½ inch waste outlet. A combined overflow and waste kit is supplied, which simplifies the installation. Proximity to an existing plumbing run will keep costs and complexity down; a long new run adds to both.
This basin is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, cafés, school kitchens, and any site where a dedicated handwash station is required by food hygiene legislation. It is a practical, compliance-focused fixture rather than a high-throughput installation — operations with large staff numbers or multiple simultaneous users may find a second unit or a higher-capacity alternative more appropriate.
If you are fitting out a new kitchen or need to confirm this basin meets your site's specific requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- WRAS approval means the unit meets UK water fittings regulations, which environmental health officers and building control surveyors commonly check during inspections and new build sign-offs. Pairing it with a hands-free tap mechanism also supports HACCP handwashing requirements, which is a standard point of assessment in food business inspections.
- The basin mounts via keyhole slots and must be fixed to a solid substrate — a masonry wall or a properly braced timber or steel frame. Plasterboard alone will not provide adequate long-term support under daily commercial use, so it is worth confirming the wall construction before installation. A competent plumber or kitchen fitter should be able to assess this as part of the job.
- For smaller operations — cafés, school kitchens, or compact prep kitchens with limited staff — a single basin at the correct location is typically sufficient. Higher-volume sites with larger teams working simultaneously may find that one unit creates a bottleneck during busy periods, in which case a second basin or a higher-capacity alternative is worth considering. If you are unsure what your site needs, our team can help you work through the requirements before you order.
