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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at the handwash point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWRAS-approved components satisfy water fittings regulations for commercial sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimed tap limits unnecessary water flow, reducing running waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral splashback protects the wall and simplifies daily cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact wall-mounted profile suits tight spaces and secondary wash points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Die-Pat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078531146045,"sku":"HB300PFB‐WRAS","price":209.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/8520_1_400x400_a1a6192a-6498-4d0b-9941-28ebb80396fb.jpg?v=1682437525","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/die-pat-hb300pfb-wras-knee-operated-wash-basin-wras-approved","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
