Mechline AquaJet AJPR20-SH Pre-Rinse Spray Tap – WRAS Approved

The Mechline AquaJet AJPR20-SH is a deck-mounted pre-rinse spray tap designed for pot wash and dishwash stations in commercial kitchens. It uses a single pedestal with twin monobloc water feed connections, lever controls for hot and cold mixing, and a standard spray gun on a flexible hose. The result is a directed, controllable rinse action that working pot wash stations depend on during continuous service.

At the pot wash, a pre-rinse spray is among the hardest-used fittings in the kitchen — handled constantly, often by multiple staff across a shift, with little tolerance for delay or fuss. The lever controls on the AquaJet allow single-handed adjustment of temperature and flow, which matters when staff are moving at pace. The short-style neck keeps spray contained within the sink bowl rather than overshooting, which is particularly useful where overhead clearance is limited or sink bays are compact. A focused spray that efficiently shifts food residue before items enter the dishwasher also reduces the load on each wash cycle, which over time can contribute to lower chemical use and energy consumption.

• Deck-mounted twin monobloc design suits most standard sink station setups
• Lever controls allow rapid, one-handed flow and temperature adjustment
• Short-style neck keeps spray contained in lower-clearance or compact sink bays
• Standard spray gun delivers focused rinse action for efficient pre-scraping
• WRAS approved for compliance with UK water regulations in commercial premises

Installation requires a deck-mounted surface with sufficient thickness to accept the monobloc fitting, along with hot and cold supply connections at standard half-inch male fittings. This is a spray-only unit — there is no bowl filler on this configuration. If your station also requires a fill function, a different configuration within the AquaJet range is worth considering before you order. The WRAS approval is particularly relevant for new installations where building control or water authority sign-off is required.

This unit is well suited to cafés, pubs, school kitchens, care homes, and similar small to medium operations where a reliable, compliant pre-rinse spray is the priority. For very high-volume pot wash areas running continuous back-to-back service, a heavier-duty configuration may be a better fit for the demand placed on it.

If you are unsure whether this configuration suits your sink setup, water supply arrangement, or installation requirements, our team is glad to talk it through before you commit.
